Patent ID: 8012658

Claim:
A toner comprising a binder resin including a polyester resin and a vinyl resin; a wax; and a colorant, wherein the toner is prepared by an emulsion aggregation method, and wherein the vinyl resin is prepared by polymerizing at least one radically polymerizable monomer including a monomer having an alkyloxysilyl group and having the following formula (I): wherein R represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; X represents a phenylene group, —COO—, or —CONH—; Y represents a linear or branched alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; each of k and m is 0 or 1, wherein a case where both k and m are 0 is excluded; and n is 0, 1 or 2, such that the toner contains the monomer having an alkyloxysilyl group in an amount of from 3% by weight to 30% by weight.
