Abstract: An economical and environmentally friendly method for producing waxes. In particular, the methods use thermolytic degradation concurrently with a distillation process to obtaining distilled waxes from recycled polyethylene. The resulting waxes have desirable properties, such as reduced molecular weight and narrow polydispersity, that makes the waxes useful in various applications.

Abstract: A method for preparing toner particles is disclosed. In embodiments, a suitable method includes aggregating a mixture comprising at least one resin, an optional pigment and an optional wax to form aggregated particles, freezing aggregation of particles by adjusting the pH of the aggregated particles to a freezing aggregation pH; coalescing the aggregated particles to form toner particles at a first pH that is higher than the freezing aggregation pH; and recovering the toner particles.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a polyester toner resin comprising a natural phenol used in manufacturing a toner for imaging devices.

Abstract: A low viscosity and a high loading silver nanoparticle conductive ink having at least about 50% weight of silver nanoparticles, a solvent having a viscosity equal to or less than about 1 cps, and a stabilizer. The conductive ink has a viscosity of less than about 5 cps and is suitable for an ultrasonic sprayer printing ink.

Abstract: An emulsion aggregation toner composition is disclosed that includes toner particles with at least one small crystalline molecule, such as a trans-cinnamic diester, at least one amorphous resin, optional waxes, coagulants, pigments, and combinations thereof. In other embodiments, the small crystalline molecule is biodegradable and can be made using raw materials derived from renewable resources. Such small crystalline molecules are also compatible with amorphous binder resins, to provide toner compositions with reduced minimum fusing temperatures without sacrificing electrical performance. Processes for preparing emulsion aggregation toner compositions are also described.

Abstract: A process for forming arylamines by continuous Buchwald-Hartwig reaction using, in part, a plug flow reactor with a fluid flow path greater than about 1 mm in diameter and a single solvent under pressure to form a product with a space time yield of at least 100 g/L/hr.
