EXTERNAL ADDITIVE FOR TONER AND TONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176258 titled 'EXTERNAL ADDITIVE FOR TONER AND TONER

Simplified Explanation

The external additive for toner described in the patent application consists of an external additive particle containing a base particle and a plurality of convex forming particles. These particles are made of a silicon compound with a siloxane bond, and a chemical bond is formed between the base particle and each of the convex forming particles. The total content of specific units in the base particle and convex forming particles must be between 80% and 100%.

  • Base particle and convex forming particles made of silicon compound with a siloxane bond
