Problems solved by technology

This only allows the selection of materials with a relatively low rubber hardness of 70°-75°, which can make it impossible to guarantee the abutment pressure required as a cleaning blade

manufacture Embodiment 1-9

[0282]

[0283] For the cleaning blade, an elastomer blade made of polyurethane is dipped in an isocyanate-based treatment liquid to adjust the surface friction coefficient and surface elastic modulus.

[0284] Specifically, an elastomer blade made of polyurethane is dipped in a treatment liquid obtained by dissolving at least one selected from a fluorine-based polymer and a silicon-based polymer and added to an isocyanate component in a solvent and Properly refined. Elastomeric blades having physical properties shown in Table 1 below were manufactured by changing the addition amounts of the isocyanate component, fluorine-based polymer, and silicon-based polymer to thereby change the concentration of the treatment liquid.

[0320]

[0321] As the cleaning blade of Manufacturing Example 10, the elastomer blade described in Example 2 in JP-A No. 2010-210879 was used as it was. That is, the elastomer blade of Example 10 was produced as follows.

[0322] -Urethane rubber

[0323] Urethane rubber having hardness of 69° and impact resilience of 49% (manufactured by Toyo Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd.)

[0324] The hardness of the urethane rubber was measured according to JIS K6253 with a durometer manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. The sample is a laminate having a thickness of 6 [mm] or more obtained by laminating sheets having a thickness of about 2 [mm].

[0325] The impact resilience of the urethane rubber was measured with a RESILIENCE TESTER No. 221 manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisaku-Sho, Ltd. according to JIS K6255. The sample is a laminate having a thickness of 4 [mm] or more obtained by laminating sheets having a thickness of about 2 [mm]. - Dipping solution

Abstract

An image forming apparatus comprising: an image carrier; a charging unit for charging a surface of the image carrier; a developing unit for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier by an exposing unit for exposing with toner; a transfer unit for transferring developed toner to a receiving member; and a cleaning unit for cleaning untransferred toner remaining on an image carrier, wherein the toner contains: an external additive; and a master particle made of at least a binder resin and a colorant, the toner has an external additive content of 4-7 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the master particle, and at least one primary particle of the external additive has 0.01- Number average particle diameter of 0.05 μm, the cleaning unit includes an elastomer blade having 15‑25 N / mm at its abutment on the image carrier 2 The surface modulus of elasticity and the surface coefficient of friction of 0.5‑0.7.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to image forming apparatuses. Background technique [0002] Many image forming apparatuses configured to form an electrostatic latent image on an image carrier and develop the electrostatic latent image into a visible image with a developer, thereby obtaining a recorded image such as a copying machine, a printer, or a facsimile machine, employ powder toner as a developing agent (or as part of the developer) dry developing device. [0003] Further, the recent spread of electrophotographic color image forming apparatuses and the easy availability of digitized images have led to a demand for printed images with higher definition. [0004] Therefore, there are studies for pursuing higher resolution and higher grayscale properties in images, among which there are studies as improvement of toner for visualizing electrostatic latent images, in order to form high-definition images, Makes toner particles more spherical and smalle...
