Abstract
A composite metal oxide charge enhancing additive composition comprised of a first metal oxide forming a core particle, and a second metal oxide forming an outer layer on the first metal oxide core particle of the formula [(M.sup.1 O.sub.n)x]-[(M.sup.2 O.sub.n).sub.y ] wherein M.sup.1 represents the first metal oxide metal, M.sup.2 represents the second metal oxide metal, n is an integer representing the number of oxygen atoms and is determined by the valence of the metal M to which the oxygen atoms are bonded, x and y represent the relative molar ratios of the first and second metal oxides, and wherein M.sup.1 is different from M.sup.2. Another embodiment is a composite metal oxide toner charge enhancing additive composition comprising an organosilane outer layer or coating covalently bonded on the outer surface of the second metal oxide layer of the formula {(M.sup.1 O.sub.n).sub.x }-{M.sup.2 O.sub.n).sub.y }-{Si R.sub.4-n).sub.z } wherein (Si R.sub.4-n).sub.z represents the covalently bonded organosilane outer layer surface coating where Si is the silicon atom of the organosilane linking or coupling agent; R is a member of the group of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, alkaryl, ara…
