Abstract: According to various examples of the present disclosure, a biocidal dispersion includes one or more inorganic glass comprising copper particles. The biocidal dispersion further includes a dispersant, a thickener, or a mixture thereof. The inorganic glass comprising copper is homogenously distributed about the biocidal dispersion and is in a range of from about 3 wt % to about 88 wt % of the biocidal dispersion.

Abstract: According to various examples of the present disclosure, an antimicrobial assembly includes a substrate comprising a matrix material having opposed first and second surfaces with a total thickness of the substrate defined therebetween. The assembly further includes an antimicrobial composition bound to the substrate and heterogeneously distributed about the antimicrobial assembly.

Abstract: A magnetic chemical toner comprising toner particles with high circularity (i.e., above 0.970) is described. The high circularity of the toner particles can maximize transfer efficiency and prevent toner waste during printing. The toner particles can comprise a polyester resin-based core. If desired, the toner particles can comprise a surface coating to modulate toner properties. Also described is a method of preparing the magnetic toner and a method of using the toner to print an image.

Abstract: A toner composition and a method of making a toner composition wherein toner particles having an average size in the range of 1-25 ?m may be mixed with silica particles and alumina particles surface treated with an inorganic/organic compound. The silica particles may have a primary particle size in the range of 2 nm to 20 nm and may be present in the range of 0.01% to 3.0% by weight of the toner composition. The alumina particles surface treated with an inorganic/organic compound may be present in the range of 0.01% to 1.0% by weight of the toner composition.

Abstract: A toner composition and method of providing such composition which may be used in a printer or printer cartridge. The composition may include toner particles mixed with silica particles having a primary particle size in the range of 30 nm to 60 nm present in the range of 0.1 to 2.0% by weight of the toner composition and silica particles having a primary particle size in the range of 60 nm to 150 nm present in the range of 0.1 to 2% by weight of the toner composition.

Abstract: The present invention is a random copolymer and its use to compatibilize the components of mixtures of immiscible polymeric materials used in the preparation of toner formulations.

Abstract: A toner composition comprising a primary resin and at least one additional polymeric component is improved by reactive compatibilization of the additional polymeric component and the resin. For example, effective amounts of a functional secondary resin and a functional silicone oil having functionality reactive therewith are included and mixed by extrusion so as to reduce or eliminate speckling in printing with the toner and the improve toner powder flow.
