First Claim
Patent Images
1. A toner composition which comprises a binder, wherein said binder comprises:
- A) (1) a copolymer containing a vinyl aromatic monomer;
a second monomer selected from the group consisting of I) conjugated diene monomers and ii) acrylate monomers selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylate monomers and alkyl methacrylate monomers; and
a third monomer which is a crosslinking agent;
or(2) polyesters of aromatic dicarboxylic acids with one or more aliphatic diols; and
B) an alkyl sarcosine or a salt thereof having an alkyl group which contains from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms;
wherein said binder has a tetrahydrofuran (THF) insoluble fraction ranging from 5 percent to 75 percent by weight of the entire binder.

Abstract
There is provided a toner composition which comprises a binder made from (A) a copolymer selected from (1) a vinyl aromatic monomer; a second monomer selected from the group consisting of i) conjugated diene monomers and ii) acrylate monomers selected from the group consisting of alkyl acrylate monomers and alkyl methacrylate monomers; and a third monomer which is a crosslinking agent; and (2) polyesters of aromatic dicarboxylic acids with one or more aliphatic diols; and (B) an alkyl sarcosine or a salt thereof having an alkyl group which contains from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms.
