TONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240280920 titled 'TONER

The abstract describes a toner containing toner particles with a unique element distribution profile obtained through x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis.

• Toner particles consist of a binder resin, colorant, and inorganic fine particles.
• The depth profile of element distribution shows minimum points of carbon concentration and maximum values of inorganic element concentration.
• The inorganic element is derived from the inorganic fine particles present in the toner.

Potential Applications: - Printing industry for high-quality and precise printing. - Manufacturing of toner cartridges for laser printers and photocopiers.

Original Abstract Submitted

a toner includes toner particles containing a binder resin, a colorant, and inorganic fine particles, in which in a depth profile of an element distribution in a depth region from the outermost surface of a particle to a depth of 500 nm the depth profile being obtained by an element analysis performed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy using the toner as a sample, two or more minimum points of a concentration of a carbon element in the depth region exist, a concentration of an inorganic element becomes a maximum value at a depth position corresponding to each of the minimum points, and the inorganic element is an element derived from the inorganic fine particle.
