TONER AND TWO-COMPONENT DEVELOPER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337960 titled 'TONER AND TWO-COMPONENT DEVELOPER

The abstract describes a toner composition that includes a toner particle with a binder resin, a release agent, and a graft polymer.

• The binder resin in the toner particle is an amorphous polyester.
• The graft polymer has two or more exothermic peaks measured by a differential scanning calorimetric measurement.
• The release agent in the toner has at least one exothermic peak.
• The peak temperatures of the exothermic peaks of the graft polymer and release agent must satisfy specific relationships.

Potential Applications: - This toner composition could be used in laser printers, photocopiers, and other printing devices. - It may find applications in industries requiring high-quality printing and image reproduction.

Problems Solved: - The toner composition addresses the need for a reliable and efficient printing solution. - It ensures consistent and high-quality print results.

Benefits: - Improved print quality and resolution. - Enhanced durability and longevity of printed materials. - Reduced maintenance and replacement costs for printing equipment.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Toner Composition for High-Quality Printing Applications This toner composition could be marketed to companies in the printing industry looking to enhance their printing capabilities and reduce operational costs.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the toner composition with specific peak temperatures of exothermic peaks improve printing quality? 2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using this advanced toner composition in printing devices?

Original Abstract Submitted

a toner comprising: a toner particle comprising a binder resin, a release agent, and a graft polymer (a), wherein the binder resin comprises an amorphous polyester, the graft polymer (a) has two or more exothermic peaks measured by differential scanning calorimetric measurement, the release agent has at least one exothermic peak, and when, among exothermic peaks of the graft polymer (a), a peak temperature of a highest temperature-side exothermic peak is indicated by t(� c.), a peak temperature of a lowest temperature-side exothermic peak is indicated by t(� c.), and, among exothermic peaks of the release agent, a peak temperature of a maximum exothermic peak is indicated by t(� c.), t, tand tsatisfy relationships of formulae (1) and (2) below:
