Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a process for production of a decolorable toner, including: aggregating dispersed fine particles of a color material comprising at least a color-forming compound, a color-developing agent and a decoloring agent with dispersed fine particles comprising at least a binder resin comprising a polyester resin to form aggregates in an aqueous medium, adding a reactive polymer having an oxazoline group in to the aqueous medium, and fusing the aggregates in the aqueous medium. As a result, it becomes possible to produce a decolorable toner which suppresses the generation of fine powder due to the release of fine particles of an erasable color material from the toner.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for production of a toner, comprising: aggregating encapsulated and dispersed particles of a color material including a color-forming compound, a color-developing agent and a decoloring agent with dispersed particles comprising at least a binder resin comprising a polyester resin to form aggregates in an aqueous medium, adding a reactive polymer having an oxazoline group reactive with a polyester resin into the aqueous medium to surface-treat the ag…
