Optimization of process conditions for in-situ suspension toner production

In this study, electrophotographic toner was produced by in situ suspension polymerization based on styrene and butyl acrylate monomers and carbon black pigment. The effect of changing the speed and type of mechanical stirrer blade, homogenizer speed, and washing method on the reaction efficiency, particle size, thermal properties, and color properties of the obtained product was investigated using the single-method experimental design method. The result of this study resulted in finding the optimal values of each of the variables to achieve the desired properties. According to this optimization, the mechanical stirrer parameter can be changed in a larger range than other variables.
