Patent ID: 8802342

Claim:
A crystalline resin for toners, comprising a composite resin comprising: a polycondensation resin component obtained by polycondensing an alcohol component comprising an aliphatic diol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms with a carboxylic acid component comprising an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and a styrene-based resin component, wherein the alcohol component comprises the aliphatic diol having 2 to 10 carbon atoms in an amount of 70 to 100% mol %, the carboxylic acid component comprises the aromatic dicarboxylic acid in an amount of from 70 to 100 mol %, the crystalline resin has a value of from 0.6 to 1.4 for softening point/endothermic maximum peak temperature, and the composite resin is a resin obtained by polymerizing (a) monomers of the polycondensation resin component which comprise the alcohol component and the carboxylic acid component, (b) monomers of the styrene-based resin component and (c) a bireactive monomer capable of reacting with the monomers of the polycondensation resin component and the monomers of the styrene-based resin component.
