Abstract
To evaluate absolutely the triboelectric charging ability of toner with any measurement device, there is a way to define the triboelectricity of the toner as the position (the zero-point-charge position) of the carrier having the same charging ability as the toner in a reference triboelectric series of carriers, of which coordinates are common in all measurement devices. However, to use this method, it is necessary to define the triboelectric series of carriers with common coordinate values that can be applied to any toner with any measurement device. In this study, we have examined whether to be able to define the triboelectric series which has common coordinates by using the standardized carrier of the Imaging Society of Japan. As a result, although the coordinate interval between the carriers varied depending on how to select the reference toner which was the origin of the coordinates, it was possible to determine common coordinate values on the triboelectric series of the carriers if the charging tendency of each toner against the carriers could be expressed linearly in the triboelectric series which coordinates of were defined by using one reference toner. Therefore, it has been found that the triboelectricity of a toner is possible to be determined absolutely by examining the charging tendency of the toner against the carriers which are coordinated on the triboelectric series.
