Abstract
The disclosure describes acrylate carrier resins, optionally, with a C/O of at least about 4, comprising a heterocycle comprising sulfur, exhibiting high charge and improved RH sensitivity, carrier compositions comprising the acrylate-coated carriers and developers comprising a toner and the acrylate-coated carrier.
Claims20
A carrier resin composition comprising at least one first monomer having a structure as set forth in formula (I) or isomers thereof:
- wherein R1 is methyl or H;
- and R2 is an aryl, a cyclic heteroalkyl, cyclic heteroalkylalkyl or a cyclic heteroalkylaryl comprising at least one sulfur atom, and wherein the resin has a carbon:oxygen (C/O) ratio of at least about 4.
