Understanding the adhesion behavior and characteristics of toner film is required to achieve image and text printing with high quality resolution. Toner can be considered as a thin film coating on a media such as paper or polymer film. Quantitative measurement of adhesion characteristics of the thin film is important to assess the reliability of the system. In this work the main objective was to investigate the adhesion characteristic between the toner and the media by ramp loading scratch test method. The scratch test may be used to obtain quantitative information about the adhesion of the film to the substrate. In the scratch test a diamond tip was used to scratch the surface of the toner film under an increasing normal load until the toner detached or fractured. The critical load (LC) was obtained from the experimental results. Also, the relationship between the critical load and the adhesive strength of the interface between the substrate and the toner was obtained by measuring the normal and tangential forces during the scratch test. Finally, theoretical analysis of the toner scratch characteristics was performed based on Benjamin and Weaver theory, Plowing model, and Laugier model.

레이저 프린터에 의해 만들어진 인쇄물 및 활자는 토너 박막과 종이 사이의 계면력에 따라 그 품질과 신뢰성이 크게 좌우된다. 현재 토너 박막의 계면력을 측정하기 위한 방법은 peel-off test로써 이는 토너 박막의 표면 특성, 테이프의 점착특성, 그리고 실험을 수행하는 작업자의 성향과 같은 여러 복합인자들에 따라 측정되는 계면력 특성이 변한다는 문제를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 peel-off test에서 측정된 계면력에 영향을 미치는 주요인자에 따른 토너 박막의 계면력과 박리 정도의 기여도를 다구찌 실험계획법을 사용하여 알아보았다. 그 결과, 토너 박막의 계면력은 주요인자들의 수준이 커질수록 그 영향력이 크게 증가하지만 토너 박막의 박리 정도는 그렇지 않았다. 또한, 본 연구의 주요인자들에 대한 조건에서 가장 큰 기여도를 가지는 인자는 시편의 이송속도로 나타났다.

Toner used in xerographic printing process is hydrophobic powder with low surface energy. The toner ink film fused on paper surface can be efficiently detached from a fiber surface during pulping, but it does not fragment again into fine toner particles. Ink agglomerates that result have too large particle size to be deinked by flotation. The purpose of this study is to enhance toner agglomeration using 1-octadecanol for improving the toner removal by screening. The effect of pH, pulping temperature, and 1-octadecanol on toner agglomeration and removal by screening was investigated using image analysis methods. Results showed that the size of toner agglomerates increased substantially when pulping was carried out at high temperature under acidic condition. When toner agglomerates showed spherical shape, the particle removal efficiency of screening was improved.

The surface defects of an aluminum tube for an OPC drum have been analyzed using a scanning microscopy(SEM) and an energy dispersive X-ray analyze.(EDX). The SEM/EDX system, which may provide good information on the surface defects and their distributions, provides an optical diameter of an impurity and a chemical composition. These are strongly related on the coated film thickness and quality of an OPC drum, which is a key element of a toner cartridge for a laser printer. The experimental results show that the local deformations, scratch wear, and flaws are produce the non-uniform coating layers, which may be removed by a manufacturing process of an aluminum tube. The major parameters on the coating quality of an OPC drum are the impurities of an aluminum tube such as silicon, oxygen, calcium, carbon, sulphur, chlorine, and others. These impurities may be removed by an ingot molding, extrusion and drawing, quality control, and packing processes with a strict manufacturing technology.
