Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of dry positively charged toner particles, and more spceifically a polymerization process for preparing dry positively charged toner resins, containing a charge control agent, or additive which has a dual function, as a wetting agent in the polymerization process, and as a charge control agent for the toner resin, whereby the charge control agent is firmly bonded (attached) to the toner resin and is uniformly dispersed in the resin, or emulsion polymerization of a monomer material, a pigment and a charge control additive. As a result of the polymerization there is formed a dry positively charged toner resin which has attached thereto the charge control agent.

Abstract: A coating composition useful in forming conductive layers comprises a conductive, water-dispersible, particulate polymer and a crosslinkable latex binder. The crosslinkable latex has a first glass transition temperature before crosslinking of substantially less than 50.degree. C. and a second glass transition temperature after crosslinking and coalescing of substantially greater than 50.degree. C. wherein the first and second glass transition temperatures differ by more than 4.degree. C. The coating composition can be coated on a variety of supports to produce conductive elements. The coating compositions are particularly useful in forming photographic elements which are resistant to the buildup of static charge and ferrotyping.

Abstract: Electroreprographic films comprising a support member which are capable of acquiring an electrostatic charge which on passing through a toner bath pick up unwanted toner outside the image area which is not fixed during development. The unwanted toner pick up is minimized by applying a layer of anti-static material to the otherwise uncoated back of the support.

Abstract: A coating composition useful in forming conductive layers comprises a latex having water as a continuous phase and, as a dispersed phase, hydrophobic polymer particles having associated therewith a polyaniline salt semiconductor. The coating composition can be coated on a variety of supports to produce conductive elements. The coating compositions are particularly useful in forming antistatic layers for photographic elements or conducting layers for electrophotographic and electrographic elements.

Abstract: Toners comprised of a resin and a quaternary ammonium compound of the formula ##STR1## in which at least two R radicals are hydrocarbon radicals having from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms and each other R is a hydrogen or hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to about 8 carbon atoms, and A is an anion for example, sulfate, sulfonate, nitrate, borate, chlorate, and the halogens such as iodide, chloride, and bromide. Methods of their formation and use in various electrophotographic imaging systems is disclosed. The quaternary ammonium compound is generally present as a coating on a pigment that is used in the toner, such pigment being for example carbon black. Toners containing the above described quaternary ammonium compounds generally result in a toner containing a positive charge thus allowing development of negative images that may be formed on photoreceptors, especially organic photoreceptors.
