ELECTRO PHOTOGRAPHIC TONER CAPABLE OF LOWERING THE FUSING TEMPERATURE, A PRODUCING METHOD THEREOF, A TONER SUPPLYING APPARATUS INCLUDING THEREOF, AND AN IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: An electro photographic toner, a producing method thereof, a toner supplying apparatus including thereof, and an image forming apparatus using thereof are provided to reduce the power consumption by lowering the fusing temperature.;CONSTITUTION: An electro photographic toner contains a binder resin, a coloring agent, a releasing agent, and a spherical metal nanoparticle with the volume average particle size of 10~100nm. The binder resin is selected from the group consisting of a styrene resin, an acrylic resin, a vinyl resin, a polyether polyol resin, a phenol resin, a silicon resin, a polyester resin, an epoxy resin, a polyamide resin, a polyurethane resin, and a polybutadiene resin. The molecular weight of the binder resin is 700~3,000.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
