Toner

1. A toner comprising toner particles, a colorant, and optionally, a wax, wherein the toner particles comprise a resin comprising a polymerization product of reactants comprising a dioxane/dioxolane monomer and a vinyl co-monomer, wherein the dioxane/dioxolane monomer has Formula I or Formula II,

wherein R is selected from a group consisting of hydrogen and methyl; R′ is selected from a group consisting of hydrogen and ethyl; and Z is selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, an oxygen of a carbonyl group, an unsubstituted alkyl group, an unsubstituted aryl group, and an unsubstituted alkoxy group.

2. The toner of claim 1 , wherein Z is selected from hydrogen and an unsubstituted alkyl group.

3. The toner of claim 1 , wherein the dioxane/dioxolane monomer is present in the resin at an amount in a range of from about 1 weight % to about 50 weight %.

4. The toner of claim 1 , wherein the vinyl co-monomer comprises an alkyl (meth)acrylate present in the resin at an amount of at least about 15 weight %.

5. The toner of claim 4 , wherein the alkyl (meth)acrylate is butyl (meth)acrylate.

6. The toner of claim 1 , wherein the reactants comprise two different types of the vinyl co-monomer.

7. The toner of claim 6 , wherein the two different types of the vinyl co-monomer are styrene and an alkyl (meth)acrylate.

8. The toner of claim 7 , wherein the alkyl (meth)acrylate is butyl (meth)acrylate.

9. The toner of claim 1 , wherein the reactants comprise three different types of the vinyl co-monomer.

10. The toner of claim 9 , wherein the three different types of the vinyl co-monomer are styrene, an alkyl (meth)acrylate, and a vinyl co-monomer comprising a carboxylic acid group.

11. The toner of claim 10 , the alkyl (meth)acrylate is butyl (meth)acrylate and the vinyl co-monomer comprising the carboxylic acid group is beta-carboxyethyl acrylate.

12. The toner of claim 1 , wherein the toner particles have a volume average particle diameter D 50 of from about 2 μm to 10 μm.

13. The toner of claim 1 , wherein the toner is free of an initiator and is not curable.

14. The toner of claim 1 , wherein the toner is free of a resin other than the resin of the toner particles.

15. The toner of claim 1 , wherein the resin consists of the polymerization product of reactants consisting of the dioxane/dioxolane monomer, from one to three different types of the vinyl co-monomer, and optionally, one or more of an initiator, a chain transfer agent, and a crosslinking agent.

16. The toner of claim 15 , wherein the from one to three different types of the vinyl co-monomer are selected from styrene, an alkyl (meth)acrylate, and beta-carboxyethyl acrylate.

17. A toner comprising toner particles, a colorant, and optionally, a wax, wherein the toner particles comprise a resin comprising a polymerization product of reactants comprising a dioxane/dioxolane monomer, a vinyl co-monomer, and an alkyl (meth)acrylate present in the resin at an amount of at least about 15 weight %, wherein the dioxane/dioxolane monomer has Formula I or Formula II,

wherein R is selected from a group consisting of hydrogen and methyl; R′ is selected from a group consisting of hydrogen and ethyl; and Z is selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, an oxygen of a carbonyl group, an unsubstituted alkyl group, an unsubstituted aryl group, and an unsubstituted alkoxy group.

18. The toner of claim 17 , wherein Z is selected from hydrogen and an unsubstituted alkyl group.

19. The toner of claim 18 , wherein the alkyl (meth)acrylate is present in the resin at an amount of at least about 20 weight %.

20. The toner of claim 19 , wherein the vinyl co-monomer is styrene and the alkyl (meth)acrylate is butyl (meth)acrylate.
