Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An external additive for a toner comprising a silica particle surface-treated with a polyhydric acid metal salt particle, wherein the polyhydric acid metal salt particle is particle of a salt of a polyhydric acid and a titanium compound, and a toner comprising a toner particle, and an external additive for a toner on the surface of the toner particle, wherein the external additive for a toner is the above external additive for a toner.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An external additive for a toner, comprising: a silica particle surface-treated with a polyhydric acid metal salt particle, wherein the polyhydric acid metal salt particle is a particle of a titanium phosphate compound or a titanium carbonate compound, and the external additive has a relative dielectric constant of 2.10 to 2.20 at the frequency at which a dielectric loss tangent tan δ is minimum in a sweep frequency range of 1 MHz to 0.01 Hz. 2 . The external additive for a toner according to claim 1 , wherein the polyhydric acid metal salt particle is present in the silica particle at a content of 0.01 to 1.00 mass %. 3 . The external additive for a toner according to claim 1 , wherein the polyhydric acid is phosphoric acid. 4 . The external additive for a toner according to claim 1 , wherein the silica particle has a number-average particle diameter of 10 to 500 nm. 5 . The external additive for a toner according to claim 1 , wherein the silica particle is sol-gel silica particle. 6 . A toner, comprising: a toner particle; and an external additive on the surface of the toner particle, wherein the external additive is the external additive for a toner according to claim 1 .
