Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing polymer resin particles for use in a toner by: dispersing fine wax particles less soluble to an organic solvent by using a polymeric dispersant into the organic solvent, dissolving one or more of monomers for forming a polymer less soluble to the organic solvent; and proceeding a polymerizing reaction of the monomers while depositing fine polymer particles on a surface of the fine wax particle upon deposition of the polymer in the organic solvent in an initial stage of the polymerizing reaction of the monomer, thereby forming polymer resin particles for use in the toner incorporating fine wax particles therein; wherein a wax ingredient forming the fine wax particles is selected such that a surface potential of the fine wax particles dispersed in the organic solvent shows a polarity opposite to a surface potential of the fine polymer particle.
