Abstract
The present invention provides a suspension polymerization method which provides polymerized particles exhibiting excellent charging properties and a toner composed of the polymerized particles obtained with the method. The method includes the steps of: placing a continuous phase component of an aqueous medium in a continuous phase vessel, and placing a dispersed phase component composed of a monomer composition and at least one solid compound having a specific structure in a dispersed phase vessel; continuously and simultaneously supplying each of the dispersed phase component and the continuous phase component to an apparatus for providing a shear force; exerting a shear force on the dispersed phase component and the continuous component to form a suspension material including polymerizable liquid-drops of a desired size; leading the suspension material to a polymerization vessel; subjecting the suspension material in the polymerization vessel to a polymerization reaction to form a polymerized material; and drying the polymerized material to obtain the polymerized particle.
