A powdery linear polymer having a narrow particle size distribution with little dusting and excellent in anti-blocking property is recovered from a latex of a linear polymer containing a large proportion (35-75 wt. %) of soft polymer (S) component through a two-step coagulation process including a first (moderate coagulation) step causing 70-98 wt. % of the coagulation. The linear polymer in the latex has a multilayer structure comprising a linear polymer (S) having a glass transition temperature below 40° C. and a linear polymer (H) having a higher glass transition temperature disposed in totally at least two layers and containing 35-75 wt. %, as a whole, of the linear polymer (S) with the proviso that the linear polymer (S) cannot be contained in excess of 30 wt. % in an outermost layer of the multilayer structure.

[Problem] By obtaining a compound hydroxide that has a sharp particle diameter distribution, the present invention aims to improve the cycle properties of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell obtained using the nickel-cobalt compound hydroxide as the precursor. [Solution] In the present invention, a slurry contains a nickel-cobalt compound hydroxide that is obtained by reacting and continuously feeding to a reactor an aqueous solution containing at least nickel and cobalt, an aqueous solution that serves as an ammonium ion donor, and an aqueous caustic alkali solution. The slurry is continuously extracted and the slurry is separated by grading into large particle diameter portions and small particle diameter portions. The small particle diameter portion is continuously circulated back to the reactor. The resulting nickel-cobalt compound hydroxide is represented by the general formula Ni1-x-yCoxMy (OH)2 (where 0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.50, 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.10, 0.05 ≤ x + y ≤ 0.50, M is at least one metal element selected from Al, Mg, Mn, Ti, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Ga), wherein the correlations of (D50-D10)/D50 ≤ 0.30 and (D90-D50)/D50 ≤ 0.30 are established between D10, D50, and D90.

A toner includes aggregated particles produced by preparing in an aqueous medium a mixed dispersion including at least a first resin particle dispersion in which first resin particles are dispersed, a colorant particle dispersion in which colorant particles are dispersed, and a wax particle dispersion in which wax particles are dispersed, heating the mixed dispersion so that at least part of the wax particles is melted, and aggregating the first resin particles, the colorant particles, and the wax particles at least part of which is melted by the addition of an aqueous solution containing an aggregating agent. Thus, the toner can have a smaller particle size and a sharp particle size distribution without requiring a classification process. Moreover, the toner can achieve a longer life and suppress transfer voids or scattering during transfer.

A coloring composition for a color filter composed of composite particles having an average particle diameter of 0.00 1 to 1.0 μm, and containing white inorganic particles, a glue coating layer formed on the surface of the white inorganic particle and an organic pigment coat formed on the glue.
