。Conventional methods for developing electrical or magnetic latent images obtained by various methods including electrophotography as described above include powder cloud method, magnetic brush development method, and fur brush development method. Among these, the magnetic brush development method is generally widely used. The developer used in this magnetic brush method is a two-component developer made by mixing a carrier made of a magnetic material such as iron powder and a toner made of fine resin powder in which a colorant is dispersed; One-component developers are known, which consist of magnetic toner that contains magnetic powder such as magnetite dispersed therein, but two-component developers have a method to deal with carrier contamination and toner concentration fluctuations during continuous use. Because of this disadvantage, -component developers, ie, magnetic toners, are now widely put into practical use.
このような磁性トナーは、一般に、樹脂、EH磁性粉末

得られている。Generally, such magnetic toner is produced by melting and kneading raw material mixtures such as resins and EH magnetic powder pigments, solidifying them, pulverizing them into fine particles using a pulverizing device such as a jet mill, and then adding a classification process as necessary to obtain an appropriate size. It is obtained by adjusting the particle size distribution.
また、このようなトナーにより潜像を現像して形成され
たトナー画像を保持させるためには、いわゆる「定着」
と呼ばれる操作が行われるが、そのような定着の方法と

ナー画像を、ヒートチャンバーで加熱溶融させて定着す
る方法や、熱ローラーで溶融付着させる方法等がある。In addition, in order to retain the toner image formed by developing the latent image with such toner, so-called "fixing" is required.
Generally speaking, such fixing methods include fixing the toner image transferred to paper as a recording medium by heating it in a heat chamber, or fixing it by heating it in a heat chamber, or fixing it by heating it with a heat roller. There are ways to do this.
これらの加熱による定着の方法は、大容量の熱源を必要
とし、また十分な定着が得られる温度まで予熱するため
にかなりの時間を必要とする。These heating fixing methods require a large capacity heat source and require a considerable amount of time to preheat to a temperature at which sufficient fixing can be achieved.
このように従来から広く用いられてきた熱定着法に対し
、省エネルギー、待ち時間ゼロという観点から、剛体ロ
ーラーにより加圧のみで定着を行なう、いわゆる圧力定
着法が盛んに開発されているが、それに伴なって圧力定
着性を有するトナーの開発がm要なテーマになってきて
いる。In contrast to the heat fixing method that has been widely used in the past, the so-called pressure fixing method, which performs fixing using only pressure using a rigid roller, is being actively developed from the viewpoint of energy saving and zero waiting time. Accordingly, the development of toner having pressure fixing properties has become an important theme.
しかしながら、現状のトナーにおいては加圧ローラー間

良好な定着画像が得られず、このような高い圧力を付与

題を解決する手段として、軽圧定着用の軟質芯材を硬質
の殻材樹脂で被覆したマイクロカプセル型のトナーが従
来より提案されている。また磁性カプセルトナーを得る
ためには、一般に、芯材中に磁性粉末を含ませる。However, with current toners, a good fixed image cannot be obtained unless a high pressure of about 30 Kg/cta is applied between the pressure rollers. Problems such as gloss and wrinkles occur, and a mechanically strong fixing device is required, resulting in an increase in size and cost. In this sense, it is desired to develop a toner that can be fixed with the lowest possible pressure. As a means to solve such problems, a microcapsule type toner in which a soft core material for light pressure fixing is coated with a hard shell resin has been proposed. Furthermore, in order to obtain a magnetic capsule toner, magnetic powder is generally included in the core material.
このような圧力定着型トナー、特に磁性カプセルトナー
の芯材を、上記したような粉砕法により製造することは
、いくつかの点で不都合がある。Producing the core material of such pressure-fixed toners, particularly magnetic capsule toners, by the above-mentioned pulverization method is disadvantageous in several respects.
例えば、圧力定着トナーにおいては結着用の樹脂として
圧力定着性の良好な樹脂を用いるが、これらの樹脂は、
軟質であるために非常に粉砕されにくく、且つ生産装置

、これらの軟質材料を微粒子化するためには、原料を冷
やして脆化させ且つ温度雰囲気を低めて行なういわゆる
冷凍粉砕を用いることが必要となり、非常なコスト高に
なってしまう。For example, in pressure fixing toners, resins with good pressure fixing properties are used as binding resins, but these resins
Because they are soft, they are very difficult to crush, and this causes a problem in which the material adheres to production equipment, causing a so-called fusion phenomenon that interrupts production.Therefore, in order to make these soft materials into fine particles, In this case, it is necessary to use so-called frozen grinding in which the raw material is cooled to become brittle and the temperature atmosphere is lowered, resulting in a very high cost.

またトナーのブロッキング現象が起こりやすくなる。In addition, in -component magnetic toner, since the magnetic material that serves as the toner carrier is contained inside the toner particles, the content, distribution, uneven distribution, etc. of the magnetic material particles in each toner particle when finely divided affect the toner performance. I'm going to get involved. For example, if the content of magnetic particles contained in each toner particle varies, the development characteristics of each toner particle will differ, and phenomena such as fogging will easily occur in the image, making it difficult to perform continuous development or copying. The change in image density becomes large and the image quality deteriorates significantly. Additionally, as a result, the fixing performance becomes inconsistent, and the toner coating on the sleeve roller for development tends to become uneven.Furthermore, because some toner particles have a high resin content and some toner particles have a low resin content, the fixing performance becomes inconsistent. or the offset property becomes worse. Furthermore, if the magnetic particles are not uniformly dispersed in the toner particles, the concentration of the toner particles will decrease, and the toner will tend to adhere to the sleeve roller of the developer, the photoreceptor, the cleaner, etc.
In addition, toner blocking phenomenon tends to occur.

求されることとなる。Furthermore, when the magnetic toner obtained by the above method is encapsulated with a hard resin as core particles, if a large number of magnetic particles are present on the surface of the core particles,
Encapsulation tends to be difficult because the smoothness of the core particle surface is impaired, or in some cases, the compatibility between the magnetic material and the shell material decreases, and even if a hard shell material is attached, there may be unevenness. Since the shell easily peels off and the strength of the core material is low, a thickness of the shell material greater than normal is required in order to improve adhesion resistance.

Although it is certainly an excellent method for manufacturing the core material of capsule toners, it requires the use of magnetic fine powder that has been hydrophobically treated in advance, so improvements are needed in terms of simplifying the manufacturing process. .

As a result of intensive research, the present inventors found that an N-alkyltrimethylenediamine composition derived from a specific fatty acid composition interacts with magnetic fine powder in a specific core material. Based on this, it has been found that the dispersibility of the fine powder is significantly improved, and the pressure fixability as a capsule toner is also significantly improved.

定される。The reason why such an effect is achieved in the present invention is not necessarily clear, but according to the findings of the present inventors, the composition of the above N-alkyl trimethylene diamine having a hydrocarbon chain During melt mixing, it not only quickly diffuses into the binder due to its low temperature and relatively broad melting properties as a composition and its affinity or compatibility with the hydrocarbon chain compound that is the binder, but also
Furthermore, based on the affinity between the diamine functional group and the functional group on the surface of the magnetic particle, it acts selectively and uniformly on the surface of the magnetic particle, so the dispersibility of the magnetic particle in the binder is significantly improved. Furthermore, it is presumed that by improving the dispersion state in the core material particles, the pressure fixability can be improved without impairing other properties as a capsule toner.
