Abstract: Dry toner for electrophotography in the form of colored particles, each particle being composed of a colored core portion having an average diameter of 5 to 20.mu. and comprising as main ingredients, a coloring material and heat-meltable resin having a flow initiation temperature of 120.degree. C. to 160.degree. C., and a covering shell portion of a vinyl resin mixture of a comparatively low molecular weight component and a high molecular weight component, each having the maximum value in the molecular weight distribution curve obtained by gel-permeation chromatography of 8.times.10.sup.3 to 3.times.10.sup.4 and 8.times.10.sup.4 to 5.times.10.sup.5, respectively, and present in a ratio of Mw/Mn=5.0 or more; the weight ratio of said vinyl resins to the total weight of said core and shell portions being 8 to 25% by weight.

Abstract: The invention concerns powder coatings comprising thermoplastic or thermosetting type resin powder particles, each particle carrying at least on the surface thereof, a number of microparticles having an average diameter of 0.001 to 10.mu. of such resin as having a glass transition temperature of 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. and a SP value of 9 to 15, said microparticle optionally containing UV absorber or antioxidant or hardening catalyst, the weight ratio of said microparticles to the total weight of the powder coatings being 0.05 to 30% by weight. The present powder coatings are excellent in blocking resistance and capable of forming a coating with excellent stain resistance, coating appearance and other desired properties.

Abstract: Disclosured is a toner comprising colored particles and a magnetic shell coated thereon, wherein said colored particles are composed of a binder resin and a coloring agent, and said magnetic shell is formed from an iron-oxide type magnetic material. The toner can be fixable at a low temperature or a low pressure, but the toner particles do not agglomerate with each other during long-term storage.

Abstract: A resinous emulsion is prepared by copolymerizing .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomers and a crosslinking monomer which is at least difunctional, in an aqueous medium in the presence of a resin having an amphoionic group of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylene or phenylene and Y is --COOH or --SO.sub.3 H, or in the presence of a resin having the above said amphoionic group and a polymerizable .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated bonding. The thus obtained emulsion is useful for the obtainment of crosslinked polymer microparticles to be incorporated in a high solid coating composition or for the preparation of aqueous coating composition because of having contained no harmful emulsifier or surfactant.
