Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to other types of electrostatic charge image developing carriers on the market?

This technology offers improved durability and performance compared to traditional carriers.

What impact could this technology have on the cost of manufacturing printers and copiers?

This technology could potentially increase the initial cost of manufacturing due to the use of strontium titanate particles, but it may lead to cost savings in the long run through improved efficiency and longevity.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electrostatic charge image developing carrier includes a core material and a resin coating layer that contains strontium titanate particles and coats the core material, in which a content of the strontium titanate particles is 10% by mass or more and 55% by mass or less with respect to a total mass of the resin coating layer, and a proportion of strontium atoms within a surface of the resin coating layer, the proportion being determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, is 0.2 at % or more and 1.0 at % or less.
