Abstract
An improved process for the preparation of encapsulated toner compositions which comprises mixing core monomer(s), an initiator, or initiators, pigment particles, and oil soluble shell monomer(s); homogenizing the aforementioned mixture into an aqueous surfactant solution resulting in an oil-in-water suspension; thereafter adding water soluble shell monomer(s) to the oil-in-water suspension enabling an interfacial polymerization reaction between the oil soluble and the water soluble shell monomer(s); subsequently adding a low molecular weight polyethylene oxide surfactant protective colloid; and thereafter affecting a free-radical polymerization of the core monomer(s) by heating.
