Abstract

A process for the preparation of a toner comprising: preparing an organic phase comprised of a first nonpolar olefinic monomer, a second nonpolar diolefinic monomer, a pigment, a free radical initiator, and optionally a charge control agent; adding the organic phase to an aqueous phase comprised of at least one surfactant; shearing the organic phase into the aqueous phase to form a microdroplet suspension of the organic phase dispersed in the aqueous phase; heating and polymerizing the microdroplets in the suspension to form nonpolar olefinic resin particles; halogenating the nonpolar olefinic resin particle mixture to form a nonpolar toner having a halopolymer resin outer surface or encapsulating shell; and optionally isolating the surface halogenated nonpolar toner.
