Abstract

Xerographic toners are typically blended with additives for adhesion control in development and transfer processes. 10-100 nanometer size additives on toner surface are used to space toners away from the electrode surfaces which lower the adhesion forces. However, in a developer housing, additives get buried into the toner over time due to the repeated mechanical stresses encountered. This is referred to as toner aging. Aged toners can have significantly higher adhesion forces and often perform poorly in development and transfer. In this paper, we will discuss models for estimating the surface additive coverage distribution on toners in the developer housing and its impact of development and transfer performance.
