Patent ID: 8871415

Claim:
A toner for electrostatic-image development that is formed with toner particles containing a binder resin and a crystalline ester compound, wherein the binder resin contains a styrene-acrylic resin including a structural unit derived from an acrylic ester monomer represented by any of general formulae (1) to (3) below in the general formula (1), R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, X 1 represents a single bond or —C(═O)—, R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms, R 3 represents an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms which may contain —O— or —C(═O)—)—, m represents an integer of 2 to 12, and n represents an integer of 2 to 20; in the general formula (2), R 4 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, X 2 represents a single bond or —C(═O)—, R 5 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms, R 6 represents an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms which may contain —O— or —C(═O)—, and p represents an integer of 2 to 20; and in the general formula (3), R 7 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 8 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 15 carbon atoms, R 9 represents a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms which may contain —O— or —C(═O)—, and s represents an integer of 2 to 12 and t represents an integer of 2 to 20.
