Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid developer containing a carrier liquid and a developer component, in which the developer component contains an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer A and a block copolymer B′ containing a hard segment and a soft segment, and the hard segment is a vinyl alicyclic hydrocarbon polymer, an image forming method using the liquid developer, a liquid developer cartridge having the liquid developer and an image forming apparatus having the liquid developer.
Claims22
A liquid developer comprising a carrier liquid and a developer component,
- wherein the developer component comprises an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer A and a block copolymer B′ comprising a hard segment and a soft segment, and
- the hard segment is a vinyl alicyclic hydrocarbon polymer.
A liquid developer comprising a carrier liquid and a developer component,
- wherein the developer component comprises an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer A and a polymer B comprising a repeating unit of the following Formula (1):
- wherein, in Formula (1), R11 to R18 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydrocarbon group, or an alkoxy group.
A liquid developer comprising a carrier liquid and a developer component,
- wherein the developer component comprises an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer A and a block copolymer B′ comprising a first segment and a second segment,
- the first segment and the second segment have different crystallinities, and
- the first segment is a vinyl alicyclic hydrocarbon polymer.
