Abstract

A toner including: a toner particle including a toner base particle containing a binder resin, and an organosilicon condensate present on a surface of the toner base particle, wherein a charge attenuation constant of the toner is 3.5×10 −3 or more to 1.0×10 0 or less.

Claims (12)

1. A toner comprising a toner particle, the toner particle comprising (i) a toner base particle containing a binder resin and (ii) a resin fine particle, wherein

a surface of the toner base particle bears the resin fine particle,

the resin fine particle has an organosilicon condensate on a surface thereof,

the resin fine particle contains a resin having an ionic functional group, and

a charge attenuation constant of the toner is 3.5×10 −3 to 1.0×10 0 .

2. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the charge attenuation constant of the toner is 5.0×10 −3 to 1.0×10 0 .

3. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the organosilicon condensate is a condensate of an organosilicon compound represented by Formula (1)

(Ra) n —Si—(Rb) 4−n   (1)

where Ra is independently a halogen atom, a hydroxy group or an alkoxy group, Rb is independently an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, an acyl group, an acryloxyalkyl group or a methacryloxyalkyl group, and n is an integer of 2 to 4.

4. The toner according to claim 3 , wherein the organosilicon compound is represented by Formula (2)

(Ra) 3 —Si—(Rb) 1   (2)

where Ra is independently a halogen atom, a hydroxy group or an alkoxy group, and Rb is an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, an acyl group, an acryloxyalkyl group or a methacryloxyalkyl group.
