Patent number: 10495997Abstract: A toner includes toner particles. The toner particles each include a toner core containing a binder resin, a first shell layer covering a surface of the toner core, and a second shell layer partially covering a surface of the first shell layer. The first shell layers include first domains composed of a first thermoplastic resin and second domains composed of a second thermoplastic resin. The first thermoplastic resin has a glass transition point of at least 35° C. and no greater than 66° C. The second thermoplastic resin has a glass transition point of at least 71° C. and no greater than 105° C.

Patent number: 10101680Abstract: An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes a plurality of toner particle each including a toner mother particle and silica particles attached to a surface of the toner mother particle. The toner mother particle includes a toner core and a shell layer. The shell layer includes a first domain substantially formed from a first resin and a second domain substantially formed from a second resin. Both the first resin and the silica particles have higher positive chargeability than the second resin. A shell coverage is at least 40% and no greater than 90%. The toner particles each have an average value of surface potentials measured using a scanning probe microscope of at least +50 mV and no greater than +350 mV and a standard deviation thereof of no greater than 120 mV.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Kazuki Tsuchihashi
