  • Patent number: 5294513
    Abstract: Encapsulated electrostatographic toner particles and a process for making toner particles. The toner particles comprise a pressure fixable core encapsulated in a pressure rupturable shell with the outer surface of the shell being hydrophobic. Preferably, the outer surface of the shell is rendered hydrophobic by having a thermosetting resin precipitated thereon. The process for producing electrostatographic toner particles comprises preparing a core material, encapsulating a discrete portion of the core material in a shell by interfacial polycondensation, and then treating the outer surfaces of the shells with a thermosetting resin to render them hydrophobic. This enables the particles to be formed as a free-flowing, dry powder without requiring costly spray drying.
