Micro TiO₂ for Toner Additives

Abstract

In recent years, with the spread of color toner, titanium dioxide surface-treated with organic compounds is being used for a toner additive as well as silica. The titanium dioxide shows several effects such as tribo-electric charge control, improvement of environmental stability and flowability of the toner. In this study, physical properties of titanium dioxide are shown related to surface-treating materials and particle diameters.
