  • Publication number: 20170219944
    Abstract: Provided is a toner that is excellent in development durability and has excellent solid followability even when the amount of the toner in a toner cartridge is small. The toner includes toner particles each having a surface layer containing an organosilicon polymer, in which: the organosilicon polymer includes a siloxane-based polymer having partial structures represented by the following formulae (1) and (2); and in a chart obtained by 29Si-NMR measurement of a tetrahydrofuran-insoluble matter of the toner particles, an area RT3 of a peak assigned to the partial structure represented by the following formula (1) and an area RfT3 of a peak assigned to the partial structure represented by the following formula (2) satisfy the following formula (3). 0.300>(RfT3/RT3)?0.

  • Publication number: 20160299446
    Abstract: Provided is a toner, including toner particle having surface layer, in which: the surface layer includes organosilicon polymer which has a partial structure represented by formula (1); in 29Si—NMR measurement of tetrahydrofuran-insoluble matter of toner particle, a ratio of a peak area for the partial structure represented by formula (1) to a total peak area for the organosilicon polymer is 5.0% or more; in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of a surface of toner particle, a ratio of a density of a silicon atom dSi in the surface of toner particle is 1.0 to 28.6 atom %; and in a roughness curve of toner particle measured by using a scanning probe microscope: an arithmetic average roughness Ra is 10 to 300 nm; ?Ra/Ra is 0.60 or less; an average length RSm of a roughness curve element is 20 to 500 nm; and ?RSm/RSm is 0.60 or less.
