Definitions
- Electrostatic compositions which comprise a toner containing a coloring agent and a polyester resin, and can include carrier particles.
- the polyester resin is prepared from a dicarboxylic acid and a polyhydroxy composition which contains an alkylene oxide derivative of a bisphenol and an alkylene oxide derivative of a second polyhydroxy compound.
- This invention relates in general to electrostatic photography and in particular to an electrostatic composition which gives improved performance in the art of direct and indirect electrostatic photography. More particularly this invention relates to electrostatic compositions which may be toner compositions or developer compositions.
- the development of the electrostatic image is accomplished by rolling or cascading across the image-bearing surface a developer composition of relatively large carrier particles having on their surfaces, for example electrostatically coated thereon, fine powder particles known as toner particles.
- these toner particles are electrostatically deposited on and secured to the charged portions of the image and are not secured on the uncharged or background portions of the image.
- Toner particles deposited on these background portions are physically removed therefrom by the electrostatic action of the carrier particles passing thereacross.
- the toner particles are electrostatically secured to the rolling carrier particles.
- the result is an excellent copy of the electostatic image in the form of an image made up of the toner particles electrostatically clinging to the image-bearing surface and removable therefrom by any of various means such as adhesive transfer, electrostatic transfer, or the like.
- the image may be transferred to a sheet in contact with the image-bearing surface by applying an electrostatic charge to the sheet while in such contact.
- the sheet is subsequently stripped from the image-bearing surface it carries with it a substantial proportion of the image to yield a xerographic print which thereafter may be made permanent by any desired method such as heating, solvent fixing or the like.
- the photoconductive surface may be cleaned and then is ready for use in a subsequent xerographic cycle.
- the photoconductive surface after being properly cleaned following a previous xerographic cycle, is in its original condition and is substantially unimpaired for future use. Cleaning the photoconductive surface is conspic quently presents difficulties.
- the cleaning problem is further complicated by the fact that the usual and preferred method of transferring the toner image from the image-bearing surface to the sheet, such as sheet paper, is carried out by affixing the image to the sheet by the application of heat thereby melting the toner and fusing it onto the sheet.
- temperatures of melting for the particular toner compositions and in particular the resin portion of same must be such that they do not damage the sheet.
- paper is the sheet material such low temperatures are required for melting that a tackiness of stickiness of the toner resin at operating temperatures due to the low melting point of the resin is obtained which further complicates producing good prints.
- a relatively low melting point, a high degree of abrasion resistance, and the ability to remain untacky at handling temperatures are physical properties which should be present in a toner resin, but proper electrostatic properties are also necessary to achieve a good xerographic toner composition.
- the electrostatic compositions of this inven tion comprise a toner containing a coloring agent and a polyester resin.
- the polyester resin is comprised of a dicarboxylic acid and a polyhydroxy composition which contains an etherified diphenol hereinafter described. Said polyester resins have a liquid point of less than 110 C. and a tack point of greater than about 60 C.

- the toner consists of particles having an average size of about 40 microns.
- the toner composition may have a dye present.
- a dye is normally used where a color reproduction is desired.
- the dyes are usually present at levels of about 2 to 20 parts by weight per hundred parts of toner.
- Exemplary of the dyes are naphthol B, erichrome B, lithol rubine, phthalocyanine blue, and sulphone thalocyanine blue.
- Other ingredients of the toner include plasticizers and resin fillers which may improve the handling properties of the toner or adapt the toner for a particular electrostatic printing process. These additional ingredients may be present at levels up to about 30 parts per 100 parts of toner by weight.
- the etherified diphenols which may be used in polyhydroxy compositions from which the above polyester resin may be prepared may be characterized by the following formula wherein z is or 1, R is an alkylene radical containing from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a sulfur atom, an oxygen atom,

- An average sum of n and m means that in any polyol blend some of the etherified diphenols within the above formula may have more than 7 repeating ether units but that the average value for the sum of m and m in any polyhydroxy composition is from 2 to about 7.
- a preferred group of said etherified diphenols are those where the average sum of n and m is from about 2 to about 3. Thus although the sum of n and m in a given molecule may be as high as about 20, the average sum in the polyol composition will be about 2 to about 3

- the means of oxide addition in preparing both the etherified diphenols and the alkylene oxide derivatives of the polyhydroxy compounds may be the standard oxide addition techniques well known in the art. Also as is known in the art, a phenolic hydroxyl group is much more reactive than an aliphatic hydroxyl group formed upon the alkylene oxide addition of an alkylene oxide to a phenol.
- the etherified diphenols illustrated by the above formula will usually have at least one alkylene oxide group attached to each phenolic hydroxyl group residue due to the greater reactivity of the phenolic hydroxyl hydrogen.

- This hot bench is an electrically heated variable heat source. First the bench is heated to obtain a 95 C. temperature in the middle of the bench and corresponding lower and higher temperatures at either end of the bench. Then about grams of finely divided resin are sprinkled evenly across the bench surface. The bench temperature at which the resin cannot be brushed from the hot bench using a small artist brush is considered to be the tack point, whereas the bench temperature at which the resin forms liquid globules is considered the liquid point.
- the polyester resins which are used in the electrostatic compositions of this invention have to be abrasion resistant, that is they must be a tough resin.
- a procedure for determining the toughness of a resin is to subject particles of a resin to a grinding means and determine how badly the resin has been degraded by the grinding means.
- a suitable test procedure used to determine the toughness of the resins, used in the toner compositions of this invention is the following: 115 grams of the polyester resin which has been previously ground to a relatively uniform particle size, that is all the polyester resin particles will pass through a 60 mesh screen but will be retained on a 80 mesh screen, are placed in a size 00 Roalax jar mill by US.

- novel toner compositions of this invention have exceptional utility in developing electrostatic images.
- images are created and developed on the surface of a photoconductive surface which is generally amorphous selenium.
- photoconductive surfaces such as those made from a photoconductive pigment such as zinc oxide, zinc cadmium sulfide, tetragonal lead monoxide, or titanium dioxide incorporated in an insulating resin binder may be used.
- the electrostatic image may be transferred to an electrically insulating film such as a film of polyethylene terephthalate.
- an electrically insulating film such as a film of polyethylene terephthalate.
- the toner composition of the instant invention may then be used to develop the electrostatic image on this insulating film to form a toner image corresponding to the electrostatic image thereon.
- the resulting toner image may then be either permanently aflixed to the insulating film or transferred to a support member as paper, metal, plastic, etc., and the insulating film cleaned and reused in the process.
- the toner composition of the instant invention is electrostatically coated on a suitable carrier surface which is then in turn contacted with the surface bearing the electrostatic image whereby the toner particles are transferred to the surface bearing the electrostatic image to form thereon a powder image corresponding to the electrostatic image.
- carrier development is known as cascade carrier development has been referred to supra and is more fully described in US. Pat. No. 2,618,551, to L. E. Walkup; US. Pat. No. 2,618,552, to E. N. Wise; and US. Pat. No. 2,638,416 to L. E. Walkup and Wise.
- the toner is desirably mixed with a granular carrier either electrically conducting or insulating, magnetic or non-magnetic, provided that the particles of granular material when brought in close contact with the powder particles acquire a charge having an opposite polarity to that of the powder particles adhering to and surrounding the granular carrier particlcs.
- the selection of a carrier is an art. If a positive reproduction of the electrostatic image is desired, the carrier is selected so that the toner particles acquire a charge having the opposite polarity to that of the electrostatic image. Alternatively, if a reversal reproduction of'the electrostatic image is desired, the carrier is selected so that the toner particles acquire a charge having the same polarity as that of the electrostatic image.
- the materials 'for the granular material are selected in accordance with their triboelectric properties in respect to the toner so that when mixed or brought into contact one material is charged positively if the other is below it in a triboelectric series, and negatively if the other material is above it in a tn'boelectric series.
- the polarities of their charge when mixed are such that the toner particles adhere to and are coated on the granular carrier particles and also adhere to the electrostatic charges on the photoconductive surface which thus retain the toner in the charge areas that have a greater attraction for the toner than the granular carrier particles have.
- Typical carrier particles are composed of glass, steel, iron, NH Cl, NaCl, and phenol-formaldehyde resins.
- the carrier particles are at least ten time the size of the toner particles.
- the carrier particles are shaped to roll across the image-bearing surface.
- the carrier particles should be of suflicient size so that their gravitational or momentum force when rolling across the image-bearing surface is greater than the force of attraction of the toner particles for the carrier in the charge areas in order that the granular carrier particles will not be retained by the toner particles.
- the momentum of the carrier must not be so great that it interferes with the toner particles being held or repelled, as the case may be, by the charged or uncharged areas of the plate. It has been found best to use granular carrier particles of a size larger than about 200 mesh, usually,
- the granular carrier particles may, if desired, be somewhat larger or smaller as long as the proper size relationship to the toner is maintained and as long as the granular carrier particles will flow easily over the image surface by gravity when the plate is inclined without requiring additional means or measurement to remove them.
- the degree of contrast or other photographic qualities in the finished image may be varied by changing the ratio of granular carrier to toner material.
- Successful results have been had with from about to about 200 parts by weight of granular carrier particles capable of being passed through a 20 mesh screen and being collected on a 60 mesh screen to 1 part of the toner having a particle size of 1 to 30 microns.
- a carrier-to-toner weight ratio in the order of about 100 to 1 is satisfactory and preferred compositions run from about 70 to l to about 150 to 1.
- the carrier acts effectively to remove any toner particles which might tend to adhere to a non-image area and the toner itself forms a dense readily transferable and fusible image.
- Developer compositions may therefore be prepared in accordance with this invention by combining a carrier and a toner within the specific particle size relationship and composition relationship enumerated above.
- the developers are prepared by simple mixing of the ingredients or by blending in a jar mill, rubber mill, ribbon blender or other mixing device used for solid materials.

- the toner particles in Examples 15 to 18 have an average size of 20 microns and the carrier particles are an average of 250 microns and all pass a 50 11.8. mesh screen.
- the bristles of a fur brush may be used.
- the toner particles acquire an electrostatic charge of polarity determined by the relative position of the toner particles and the fur fibers in the triboelectric series.
- the toner particles form a coating on the bristles of the fur clinging thereto by reasons of the electrostatic attraction between the toner and the fur just as the toner clings to the surface of the granular carrier particles.
- a granular carrier is selected having ferromagnetic properties and selected relative to the toner in a triboelectric series so as to impart the desired electrostatic polarity to the toner and carrier as in cascade carrier development.
- the carrier particles align themselves along the lines of force of the magnet to assume a brush-like array.
- the toner particles are electrostatically coated on the surface of the granular powder carrier particles.
- Development proceeds as in regular cascade carrier development on moving the magnet over the surface bearing the electrostatic image so that the bristle of the magnet brush contact the electrostatic image-bearing surface.
- Still another method of carrier development is known as sheet carrier development in which the toner particles are placed on a sheet of paper, plastic, or metal.
- sheet carrier development in which the toner particles are placed on a sheet of paper, plastic, or metal.
- This process is described in US. Pat. No. 2,895,847 to C. R. Mayo.
- the electrostatic attraction between the sheet surface and toner particles may be obtained by leading the sheet through a mass of electroscopic toner particles whereby there is obtained a rubbing or sliding contact between the sheet and the toner.
- novel toners of the instant invention may also be formulated to possess both electrostatic and magnetic properties by utilizing a magnetic powdered pigment as the pigment therein.
- magnetic iron oxide or similar materials may be used as the pigment in such toners.
- substantially larger amounts are used in formulating the toner than when conventional coloring pigments or dyes are used.
- a toner having both electroscopic and magnetic properties desirably contains a higher proportion of pigment (note Example 20 above). In such cases up to 50%, by weight of pigment.
