Abstract

A toner comprising a toner particle, and strontium titanate, wherein the strontium titanate has a specific number average particle diameter, the strontium titanate has a maximum peak (a) at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 32.00 deg to 32.40 deg in CuKα characteristic X-ray diffraction, the half width of the maximum peak (a) is 0.23 deg to 0.50 deg, an intensity (Ia) of the maximum peak (a) and a maximum peak intensity (Ix) in a range of a diffraction angle (2θ) of 24.00 deg to 28.00 deg satisfy a specific relationship, the content of strontium oxide and titanium oxide in the strontium titanate is at least 98.0% by mass, and a sum total Et of a rotational torque and a vertical load in powder flowability analysis of the toner is 100 mJ to 2000 mJ.

Claims (9)

1. A toner comprising:

a toner particle; and

strontium titanate, fine particle having a number average primary particle diameter of 10 to 95 nm;

the strontium titanate fine particle having a maximum peak (a) at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 32.00 to 32.40 deg in CuKα characteristic X-ray diffraction, a half width of the maximum peak (a) being 0.23 to 0.50 deg, wherein

(Ix)/(Ia)≤0.010 where (Ia) is an intensity of the maximum peak (a) and (Ix) is a maximum peak intensity in a range of a diffraction angle (2θ) of 24.00 to 28.00 deg in CuKα characteristic X-ray diffraction of the strontium titanate fine particle,

a total content of strontium oxide and titanium oxide is at least 98.0% by mass when all elements detected by X-ray fluorescence analysis of the strontium titanate fine particles are considered to be in the form of oxides and a total amount of all the oxides is taken as 100% by mass, and

a sum total Et of a rotational torque and a vertical load is 100 to 2000 mJ in powder flowability analysis of the toner when a propeller-type blade is vertically introduced into a powder layer of the toner in a measurement container while being rotated at a periphery speed of the outermost edge portion thereof at 100 mm/sec, measurement is started from a position of 100 mm from a bottom surface of the powder layer, and the propeller-type blade is introduced to a position of 10 mm from the bottom surface.

2. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the strontium titanate is 0.05 to 2.0 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the toner particle.

3. The toner according to claim 1 , wherein the strontium titanate is surface-treated with a silane coupling agent.
