TONER COMPOSITION AND PROCESS
First Claim
1. A toner composition comprising:
- (a) a first amorphous polyester resin comprising a polyester derived from dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or a combination thereof;
wherein the first amorphous polyester is generated by the catalytic polymerization of monomers of an organic diol, an organic diacid, and dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or a combination thereof;
wherein the dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or combination thereof, is present in the first amorphous polyester in an amount of from about 5 to about 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the first amorphous polyester;
(b) a second amorphous polyester resin comprising a polyester derived from dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or a combination thereof, and a branching agent derived from a polyacid or polyol component;
wherein the second amorphous polyester is generated by the catalytic polymerization of monomers of an organic diol, an organic diacid, dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or combination thereof, and the branching agent;
wherein the dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or combination thereof is present in the second amorphous polyester in an amount of from about 5 to about 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the second amorphous polyester;
(c) a crystalline polyester resin;
(d) a wax; and
(e) optionally, a colorant.

Abstract
A toner composition comprising (a) a first lower molecular weight amorphous polyester resin comprising a polyester derived from dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or a combination thereof present in an amount of from about 5 to about 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the first amorphous polyester; (b) a second higher molecular weight amorphous polyester resin comprising a polyester derived from dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or a combination thereof, and a branching agent derived from a polyacid or polyol component; wherein the dodecenyl succinic acid, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, or combination thereof is present in the second amorphous polyester in an amount of from about 5 to about 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the second amorphous polyester; (c) a crystalline polyester resin; (d) a wax; and (e) optionally, a colorant.
