TONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134300 titled 'TONER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a toner containing a toner particle with a binder resin and silica fine particles, with a specific content of polyvalent metal elements and particle size range for the silica fine particles.

  • The toner particle contains a binder resin and silica fine particles.
  • The total content of polyvalent metal elements in the toner particle is between 0.10 to 2.50 μmol/g.
  • The number-average particle diameter of the primary particle of the silica fine particle is 40 to 500 nm.
  • The solid-state NMR measurement of the silica fine particle shows specific peaks corresponding to different silicon atoms in the structure, with defined areas satisfying a specific ratio.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the development of high-quality toner for use in printers and copiers.

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses the need for toner particles with controlled polyvalent metal content and specific particle size distribution for improved printing quality.

Benefits

The toner produced using this technology can offer enhanced printing performance and image quality, leading to better overall printing results.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Improved toner for laser printers and copiers

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to toner formulations with specific particle size distributions and metal content, but further research is needed to identify specific examples.
