Abstract: Polymeric electrophotographic toner and developer compositions are produced by methods including conventional as well as limited coalescence manufacturing techniques. The compositions are prepared by heating a diacid and a diol under conditions effective to form a chain transfer polyester, wherein either the diacid or the diol contain a disulfide moiety. The polyester is reacted with one or more vinyl monomers to form a block copolymer having polyester blocks linked to polyvinyl blocks by sulfide groups previously constituting the disulfide moiety. The block copolymer is reduced to a particulate form to a size suitable for use as an electrophotographic toner by conventional methods, evaporation limited coalescence, and suspension limited coalescence.
