Abstract
A liquid electrophoretic developer composition suitable for rendering visible electrostatically charged areas, which composition contains in an electrically insulating non-polar organic carrier liquid having a volume resistivity of at least 10.sup.9 ohm.cm and a dielectric constant less than 3, pigment particles carrying at least one substance conferring electric charges on said particles, dispersed with the aid of a block copolymer containing one adsorbent group A and at least one solvatable group B, characterized in that said group A represents a polystyrene chain having a number average molecular weight of at least 2,000, and said group B represents a polymethacrylate fatty alcohol ester chain having a number average molecular weight of at least 7,000. The adsorption of said block copolymer to pigment particles is illustrated in FIG. 1.
