Fabrication of black printing toner through in situ polymerization: An effective way to increase conversion
Authors
Abstract:
Styrene-acrylate copolymer was synthesized in presence of carbon black through heterogeneous polymerization. The percentage of monomer conversion was measured by gravimetric method, also PSA, SEM, DSC and GPC were used for studying the particle size and particle size distribution, morphology, thermal properties and molecular weight, respectively. As well as color properties were characterized by spectrophotometry method. The results showed that the copolymer was appropriate for applying as printing toner. In this study to improve the monomer conversion, a redox initiator system was applied, so the conversion increased from 20 to 75. Other properties such as particle size, particle size distribution, morphology, thermal behavior, molecular weight and color properties were affected by this change but they were in the acceptable range.

Design and fabrication of an effective micromixer through passive method
Micromixer is a significant component of microfluidics particularly in lab-on-chip applications so that there has been a growing need for design and fabrication of micromixers with a shorter length and higher efficiency. Despite most of the passive micromixers that suffer from long mixing path and complicated geometry to increase the efficiency, our novel design suggests a highly efficient micr...

full textNumerical simulation of toner jet method for nonimpact printing
The toner jet method has been previously proposed to perform electrophotographic nonimpact printing easily. To clarify the fundamental properties of this method, the jet behavior of toner is studied through simulation on a personal computer. The mesh electrode is assumed to be inserted halfway between the development roller and the paper-back electrode. This is done to control the locus and the...

Toner is a main component of electrophotographic printing and copying processes. One of the most important ingredients of toner is magnetite (Fe3O4) which provides the tribocharging property for toner particles. In this study, nano- and microparticles of Fe3O4 were synthesized using the coprecipitation method and different amounts of lauric acid as a surfactant. The synthesized nano and micro F...

Overhearing is of great importance to wireless network coding in that it can be exploited to obtain the side information needed for packet decoding. Recently, a new technique called virtual overhearing (VOH) was proposed to allow a node to obtain the packet sent by another node that is multiple hops away for free. This can overcome the limitation of overhearing and be used to discover more codi...
