Patent ID: 8013074

Claim:
A toner process comprising: providing a resin miniemulsion comprising polymeric particles comprising at least one free radical polymerizable monomer compound and at least one alkylene anhydride; and a surfactant; blending the miniemulsion with at least one colorant, at least one amine to aggregate and coalesce the polymeric particles, and optionally at least one wax; heating the resulting mixture below or equal to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin emulsion; and heating the resulting mixture above or about equal to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin emulsion, wherein the at least one amine is selected from the group consisting of polyoxypropylenediamine, N-isopropyl-N′-phenyl-phenylene diamine, N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-phenylene-diamine, N,N′-di(2-octyl)-4-phenylene diamine, N, N′-bis(1,4-dimethylpentyl)-4-phenylene diamine, and dihydroxy tetraphenyl biphenylene diamine, and wherein the at least one amine is present in the miniemulsion in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 10% by weight relative to the amount of the polymeric particles.
