Claims34
A toner comprised of a mixture of a semicrystalline polymer containing from about 10 to about 60 percent crystallinity, an amorphous polymer and a high crystalline polyolefin;
- and a colorant.
A process for the preparation of a toner comprised of the mixing of a polymer latex comprised of semicrystalline polymer containing from about 10 to about 60 percent crystallinity, an amorphous polymer and a high crystalline polyolefin and colorant;
- followed by heating below the amorphous polymer Tg (glass transition) temperature, and then subsequently heating above the amorphous polymer Tg.
A process comprising the heating of latexes comprised of a first latex, a second latex, and a third latex wherein said first latex contains a semicrystalline polymer, said second latex contains an amorphous polymer, and said third latex contains a crystalline polyolefin and colorants;
- and wherein said heating comprises a first heating below about the Tg of said amorphous polymer, and a second subsequent heating above about the Tg of said amorphous polymer.
