Abstract

A resin fine particle includes a polyester resin; and a basic dye, in which a volume average particle diameter of the resin fine particle is 0.05 μm or more and 1 μm or less, and a ratio of a concentration of the basic dye in a center of gravity portion of the resin fine particle to a concentration of the basic dye in a surface layer portion having a depth of 10 nm or less from a surface of the resin fine particle is 0.8 or more.

Claims (30)

1. A resin fine particle, comprising:

a polyester resin; and

a basic fluorescent dye having at least one cationic group that is

wherein a volume average particle diameter of the resin fine particle is 0.05 μm or more and 1 μm or less, and

a ratio of the concentration of the basic fluorescent dye in the center of gravity portion of the resin fine particle to the concentration of the basic fluorescent dye in the surface layer portion having a depth of 10 nm or less from the surface of the resin fine particle is 0.8 or more and 1.0 or less.

2. The resin fine particle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the volume average particle diameter of the resin fine particle is 0.05 μm or more and 0.5 μm or less.

3. The resin fine particle according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of the basic fluorescent dye in the resin fine particle is 0.1 part by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyester resin in the resin fine particle.

4. The resin fine particle according to claim 3 ,

wherein a content of the basic fluorescent dye in the resin fine particle is 0.5 part by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyester resin in the resin fine particle.

5. The resin fine particle according to claim 1 ,

wherein an acid value of the polyester resin is 1 mgKOH/g or more and 50 mgKOH/g or less.

6. The resin fine particle according to claim 5 ,

wherein the acid value of the polyester resin is 5 mgKOH/g or more and 18 mgKOH/g or less.

7. A thermoplastic resin particle, comprising:

a binder resin; and

resin fine particles according to claim 1 .

8. The thermoplastic resin particle according to claim 7 ,

wherein an average distance X D between adjacent domains containing the basic fluorescent dye in a cross section of the thermoplastic resin particle satisfies the following expression L:

0.01× D 50v ≤X D ≤0.4× D 50v   Expression L,

wherein D 50v represents a volume average particle diameter of the thermoplastic resin particle.

9. The thermoplastic resin particle according to claim 8 ,

wherein the average distance X D is 0.05 μm or more and 3.0 μm or less.

10. The thermoplastic resin particle according to claim 9 ,

wherein the average distance X D is 0.08 μm or more and 2.5 μm or less.

11. The thermoplastic resin particle according to claim 7 ,

wherein the thermoplastic resin particle is obtained by at least aggregating and coalescing the resin fine particles.

12. The resin fine particle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resin fine particle is formed in the presence of a base at a pH of from 8 to 11.
