Abstract

A method of preparing composite particles is disclosed, which comprises the steps of dispersing matrix organic resin particles having a polar group on a surface thereof in a hydrophilic organic liquid, water or mixture thereof to prepare a dispersion of the matrix organic resin particles; dispersing a wax in a hydrophilic organic liquid, water or mixture thereof by use of a nonionic surface active agent to prepare an emulsion of the wax; mixing the dispersion of the matrix organic resin particles and the emulsion of the wax in the presence of a surface active agent with a polarity opposite to that of the polar group on the matrix organic resin particles to obtain a dispersion in which finely-divided particles of the wax are caused to adhere to the surface of the matrix particles; and heating the dispersion to fix the finely-divided particles of the wax on the surface of the matrix organic resin particles.
