  • Patent number: 5232812
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for forming images which comprises generating an electrostatic image on an imaging member, developing the electrostatic image with a toner, optionally transferring the developed toner image from the imaging member to a substrate, applying to the developed toner image a curable liquid in which the toner is at least partially soluble, and curing the liquid to a solid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 1992
    Date of Patent: August 3, 1993
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Ian D. Morrison, Christine J. Tarnawskyj, Bing R. Hsieh, Paul W. Morehouse, Jr.
  • Patent number: 5213934
    Abstract: Microcapsule toners comprise a polymeric shell and a core containing colorants and a polymer binder. Part of the polymer binder is chemically grafted to the shell polymer. A process of preparing the microcapsule toners involves a shell forming interfacial polycondensation and a core binder forming free radical polymerization. The grafting of core binder to the shell is accomplished via the involvement of a polyfunctional reagent capable of reacting with both the shell and core monomers, or involvement of a shell monomer bearing a core monomer functionality.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 1991
    Date of Patent: May 25, 1993
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Guerino Sacripante, Beng S. Ong, Bing R. Hsieh, Robert McNamara
  • Patent number: 5139915
    Abstract: An encapsulated toner composition comprised of a core comprised of a monomer, or monomers which are subsequently polymerized; pigment or dye particles; an emulsifier component selected from the group consisting of organic methyl cellulose and hydroxylated methyl cellulose components into which the pigmented monomer mixture is dispersed, and wherein the core is encapsulated within a polymeric shell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 1990
    Date of Patent: August 18, 1992
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Karen A. Moffat, Walter Mychajlowskij, Anthony J. Paine, Bing R. Hsieh
  • Patent number: 5108863
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of encapsulated toner compositions which comprises a core dispersion obtained by adding pigment to a monomer, and wherein the pigment is sterically stabilized with a block copolymer; dispersing the resulting core dispersion into an aqueous solution containing an emulsifier; adding thereto an aqueous solution containing a shell monomer; encapsulating the core dispersion by interfacial polymerization of said shell monomer; and heating to initiate a free radical polymerization of the core monomer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 1989
    Date of Patent: April 28, 1992
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Bing R. Hsieh, Robert J. Gruber, Edul N. Dalal
  • Patent number: 5035970
    Abstract: An encapsulated toner composition comprised of a core comprised of pigments or dyes, and a polymer; and wherein the core is encapsulated in a polyester shell with functional groups thereon, and derived from diacid halide polyesters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 1989
    Date of Patent: July 30, 1991
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Bing R. Hsieh, Robert J. Gruber, Karen A. Moffat, Walter Mychajlowskij, Anthony J. Paine
  • Patent number: 4898802
    Abstract: A negatively charged toner composition comprised of resin particles, pigment particles, and as a charge enhancing additive certain salts of 5,5'-spirobi(5H-dibenzoborole).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 1989
    Date of Patent: February 6, 1990
    Assignee: Xerox Corporation
    Inventors: Bing R. Hsieh, Robert J. Gruber, John L. Haack
  • Patent number: 4851318
    Abstract: An improved process for the preparation of encapsulated toner compositions which comprises mixing core monomer(s), an initiator, or initiators, pigment particles, and oil soluble shell monomer(s); homogenizing the aforementioned mixture into an aqueous surfactant solution resulting in an oil-in-water suspension; thereafter adding water soluble shell monomer(s) to the oil-in-water suspension enabling an interfacial polymerization reaction between the oil soluble and the water soluble shell monomer(s); subsequently adding a low molecular weight polyethylene oxide surfactant protective colloid; and thereafter affecting a free-radical polymerization of the core monomer(s) by heating.
