Patent ID: 8722298

Claim:
Resin particles (D) having a structure formed by (i) depositing resin particles (A) comprising a first resin (a) having an initial softening temperature of 40 to 270° C., a glass transition temperature of 20 to 250° C., a flow temperature of 60 to 300° C., and difference of the glass transition temperature and the flow temperature in a range of 0 to 120° C., on the surfaces of resin particles (B) comprising a second resin (b) or (ii) depositing a film (P) comprising the resin (a) on the surfaces of resin particles (B) comprising a second resin (b); wherein the surface coverage of the resin particles (B) with the resin particles (A) or the film (P) is 0.1 to 4.9%, whereby the surface coverage is calculated by image analysis of an image obtained by scanning electron microscope of the resin particles according to the following equation: Surface coverage (%)=(surface area of portions covered with resin particles ( A ) or film ( P ))/(surface area of portion covered with resin particles ( A ) or film ( P )+surface area of exposed portions of resin particles ( B ))×100.
