  • Publication number: 20230022529
    Abstract: Provided is an electrostatic charge image developing toner including toner base particles containing a binder resin an a mold release agent, wherein a molecular weight corresponding to a main peak top of a molecular weight distribution curve of constituent components of the electrostatic charge image developing toner obtained by gel permeation chromatography is 15,000 or more; and in comparison of an area ratio of each peak in the molecular weight distribution curve, the binder resin contains an amorphous material of a low molecular weight component having a weight average molecular weight of 300 or more and less than 1000 in the area ratio of 10 to 20% with respect to the total amount of the binder resin.

  • Patent number: 9740122
    Abstract: The present toner is an electrostatic latent image developing toner, and contains a toner base particle. The toner base particle contains a binder resin and a release agent. The binder resin contains a crystalline resin and a vinyl resin. When the storage elastic modulus G? at 50° C. is defined as G?50° C., the peak top temperature (° C.) of a specific endothermic peak in DSC of the toner is defined as Tm, the measurement temperature (° C.) at a G? of 1×106 Pa is defined as TmA, and the measurement temperature (° C.) at a G? of 1×105 Pa is defined as TmB, the toner satisfies the following expressions (1) to (3): G?50° C.?1×108??(1) TmB?TmA?8??(2) Tm<TmB??(3).
