TONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240219853 titled 'TONER
The abstract describes a toner containing toner particles with a crystalline organic material, including a crystalline vinyl resin, crystalline polyester, and wax. The toner particles have a specific composition range of these components.
- The toner particles contain 10.0 to 90.0 mass % of crystalline vinyl resin, crystalline polyester, and wax.
- The crystalline vinyl resin includes units a and b, with a specific content range of unit b.
- The toner particles contain 0.0020 to 0.0500 mass % of a metal that can form a complex with an acetylacetonate moiety in unit b of the crystalline resin.
- The acetylacetonate moiety in unit b forms a complex with the metal.
- The crystalline resin has a specific content range of unit b.

Original Abstract Submitted
a toner includes toner particles containing a crystalline organic material that contains a crystalline vinyl resin as an essential component and a crystalline polyester and a wax component as optional components. a total of the crystalline vinyl resin, crystalline polyester, and wax component with respect to the toner particles is 10.0 to 90.0 mass %. the crystalline vinyl resin contains a crystalline resin a having (i) units a and (ii) units b. the toner particles contain 0.0020 to 0.0500 mass % of a metal that can form a complex with an acetylacetonate moiety in a unit b of the crystalline resin a with respect to a mass of the toner particles. the acetylacetonate moiety of at least one of the units b in the crystalline resin a forms a complex with the metal. in the crystalline resin a, a content of the unit b is 0.50 to 10.0 mass %.
