Tailoring Resin Properties of In-situ Suspension Polymerized Toner

Tailoring resin property of polymerized toner by varying monomer ratio, temperature, initiator, pigments and cross-linking agent is being experimentally studied in this paper. The resin properties of polymerized toner and commercial melt-mixing toner were evaluated with the glass transition temperature, molecular weight distribution, softening point and melt index. Research results indicate that added pigment has a heavy influence on the resin's property.
