Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a carrier superior in image characteristics and long in service life, by specifying proportions of the components of ferrite consisting of MgO, MnO, Fe2O3, and ZnO, its electromagnetic characteristics, its particle diameter, and its surface state. CONSTITUTION:This ferrite consists of 1-40mol% MgO, 0.5-30mol% MnO, 45- 60mol% Fe2O3, and 0.1-30mol% ZnO, and it has 10<3>-10<12>ohm.cm, 15-80emu/ g saturation magnetization value, <=10Oe coercive force Hc, <=10 magnetic permeability mu, >=50 deg.C Curie temp. Tc, and 5-500 average particle diameter. It is spherical and the surface of each particle is oxidized or coated with a resin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electrophotographic toner carrier. Development methods for electrophotography include cascade development, magnetic brush development, and other methods, but the characteristics required for the carrier are appropriate triboelectric charging properties, and when the toner particles are attracted, they are dense and the strength of the particles increases. The particles must have sufficient fluidity and do not cause particle breakage, the particles must be uniform, the surface condition must be stable without changing various properties due to humidity, etc., and the tensile and compressive strength must be high. , and have appropriate saturation magnetization, magnetic permeability, or coercive force.

Conventionally, various materials have been used as toner carrier particles, but iron powder is the most commonly used material. Although the surface of iron powder is used after being appropriately treated, if it is used for a long time, the surface of the particles may change physically or chemically, causing toner to adhere to it or becoming sensitive to the humidity of the usage environment. The drawbacks are that the sharpness of the image may fade and the lifespan is short.

Furthermore, although the use of ferrite, which is an oxide magnetic material, as a gear carrier has been reported in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52-56536, etc., conventional ferrite carriers are not necessarily satisfactory in terms of image characteristics or lifespan.

α is good, but outside this range, the amount of friction zone "+M" cannot be controlled to an appropriate value, and it is easily affected by humidity etc., making it difficult to obtain the desired clear image. An appropriate value is 100 mw't<~80 θmVg; if it is smaller than this value, the adsorption force with the magnetic four is reduced and it is difficult to obtain a clear image as a target.

Furthermore, if the magnetic permeability μ is less than 10, the response to the magnetic roll will be poor and the image quality will be affected.
