Abstract
An electrostatic liquid toner imaging process uses a liquid toner comprises a perfluorinated solvent and polymer resin-bound pigment particles. The polymer resin is preferably a resin containing highly fluorinated or perfluorinated units within the polymer resin or a resin comprising of at least 10% perfluorinated units, the rest comprising nonfluorinated units.

Polymer resin bound pigment particles, comprising pigment particles in intimate association with a polymeric resin, wherein the polymeric resin is a copolymer of
- a) 65 to 89.5 weight percent of a non-fluorinated free-radically polymerizable monomer,
- b) 10 to 20 weight percent perfluorinated macromer terminated at exactly one end with a free-radically polymerizable group, and
- c) from 0.5 to 15 weight percent of a free-radically polymerizable monomer which is not a perfluorinated monomer having a group binding a polyvalent metal ion.
Polymer resin bound pigment particles, comprising pigment particles in intimate association with a polymeric resin, wherein the polymeric resin is a copolymer of from 75 to 98 weight percent of a perfluorinated free-radically polymerizable monomer, and from 2 to 25 weight percent of a free-radically polymerizable non-fluorinated monomers, wherein at least 0.5 to 15 weight percent on a weight basis of said copolymer of the free-radically polymerizable monomers has a group for binding a polyvalent metal ion.
