(Prior art) In general, electrophotography involves forming an electrostatic latent image on the surface of a photoreceptor made of a photoconductor, applying a developer to the latent image to make it visible, and then reproducing it as needed.

Developers used in such electrophotographic methods include one-component developers in which colorants, charge control agents, etc. are dispersed in a fixing medium, and two-component developers mixed with a carrier. Developers and the like are known. Since these developers are required to have fluidity in various developing methods, it has been proposed to apply various fluidizing agents to the developers. Further, the surface characteristics of the developer greatly contribute to the charging characteristics of the developer itself, and it is no exaggeration to say that the charging characteristics are determined by the material of the surface treatment agent.

Conventionally, such surface treatment agents include metal oxides such as silica, alumina, and titania, as well as conductive substances such as carbon, but none of these have yielded satisfactory results. . For example, hydrophobic silica initially exhibits excellent fluidity, but when used for a long period of time, charges accumulate on the silica, causing electrostatic aggregation of the developer, which impairs the initial fluidity characteristics. Difficult to maintain. Alumina and titania have low electric resistance and low chargeability, and therefore have low chargeability to the developer.

According to the present invention, by coating the metal oxide with aimino-modified silica or corn oil, the amount of charge of the gold mud oxide as a surface treatment agent can be controlled within a favorable range. The blow-off charge amount of the metal oxide coated with the amino-modified silicone oil is -250 to 50 μc/g, preferably -200 μc/g.
By using a surface treatment agent having a concentration of 30 μc/g to 30 μc/g, it becomes possible to impart excellent fluidity and image stability as a negatively chargeable developer. Moreover, a major feature of the oil-treated metal oxide is that it exhibits excellent adhesion to powder compositions. The reason for this good adhesion is that the electron-donating amino groups (-Ni+,) present on the surface of the coated metal oxide strongly bind (retain) the negative polarity present on the particle surface of the powder composition. This is thought to be because the amount of blow-off charge of the surface treatment agent is -
If it is more negative than 250 μc/g, the fluidity of the developer decreases due to the cohesive nature of the surface treatment agent itself, making it impossible to obtain a stable image. On the other hand, if it is more positive than 50 μc/g, the negative chargeability as a developer will be extremely reduced, making it impossible to obtain a good image.

At this time, control of the amount of charge of the surface treatment agent is based on the electron donating property of the amino-modified silicone oil, and depends on the molecular weight and amine equivalent.
