Liquid developer compositions with quaternized polyamines
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention is generally directed to liquid developer compositions and, more specifically, the present invention relates to a liquid developer containing polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds, or quaternized polyamines as charge adjuvants. More specifically, the present invention relates to positively charged liquid developers comprised of a suitable carrier liquid and as a charge adjuvant certain quaternized polyammonium salts, such as poly(styrene-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate tosylate), poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium bromide), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate chloride), poly(N,N-dimethyl-3,5-dimethylenepiperidinium chloride) and the like. The developers of the present invention can be selected for a number of known imaging systems, such as xerographic imaging and printing processes, wherein latent images are rendered visible with the liquid developers illustrated herein. The image quality, solid area coverage and resolution for developed images usually require, for example, sufficient toner particle electrophoretic mobility. The mobility for effective image development is primarily dependent on the imaging system used, and this electrophoretic mobility is directly proportional to the charge on the toner particles and inversely proportional to the viscosity of the liquid developer fluid. For example, an about 10 to 30 percent change in fluid viscosity caused for instance by an about 5° to 15° C. decrease in temperature could result in a decrease in image quality, poor, or unacceptable image development, and undesirable background development, for example, because of a 5 percent to 23 percent decrease in electrophoretic mobility. Insufficient particle charge can also result in poor, or no transfer of the toner to paper or other substrates. Poor transfer, for example, can result in poor solid area coverage if insufficient toner is transferred to the final substrate and can also result in image defects such as smearing and hollowed fine features. To overcome or minimize such problems, the liquid toners of the present invention were arrived at after extensive research efforts, and which toners result in, for example, sufficient particle charge, generally corresponding to an ESA mobility of greater than 1.0 E-10 m 2  /Vs for excellent transfer, and maintaining this mobility within the desired range of the particular imaging system employed. Advantages associated with the present invention include improvements in the desired positive charge on the developer particles; in some instances the improvement, as measured by ESA mobility, is from +0.7 E-10 m 2  /Vs with out the quaternized polyamine charge control component to +1.2 E-10 m 2  /Vs when the quaternized polyamine compounds of the present invention are selected. The greater toner charge results in, for example, improved image development and higher quality images, such as higher resolutions with less background deposits. 
     A latent electrostatic image can be developed with toner particles dispersed in an insulating nonpolar liquid. Such dispersed materials are known as liquid toners or liquid developers. A latent electrostatic image may be generated by providing a photoconductive layer with a uniform electrostatic charge and subsequently discharging the electrostatic charge by exposing it to a modulated beam of radiant energy. Other methods are also known for forming latent electrostatic images such as, for example, providing a carrier with a dielectric surface and transferring a preformed electrostatic charge to the surface. After the latent image has been formed, the image is developed by colored toner particles dispersed in a nonpolar liquid. The image may then be transferred to a receiver sheet. Also known are ionographic imaging systems. 
     Typical liquid developers can comprise a thermoplastic resin and a dispersant nonpolar liquid. Generally, a suitable colorant, such as a dye or pigment, is also present in the developer. The colored toner particles are dispersed in a nonpolar liquid which generally has a high volume resistivity in excess of 10 9  ohm-centimeters, a low dielectric constant, for example below 3.0, and a high vapor pressure. Generally, the toner particles are less than 30 μm (microns) average by area size as measured with the Malvern 3600E particle sizer. 
     Since the formation of proper images depends primarily on the difference of the charge between the toner particles in the liquid developer and the latent electrostatic image to be developed, it is desirable to add a charge director compound and optional charge adjuvants which increase the magnitude of the charge, such directors being, for example, polyhydroxy compounds, amino alcohols, polybutylene succinimide compounds, aromatic hydrocarbons, metallic soaps, and the like, to the liquid developer comprising the thermoplastic resin, the nonpolar liquid and the colorant.

     U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,477, the disclosure of which is hereby totally incorporated by reference, illustrates a liquid electrostatic developer comprising a nonpolar liquid, thermoplastic resin particles, and a charge director. The ionic or zwitterionic charge directors may include both negative charge directors, such as lecithin, oil-soluble petroleum sulfonate and alkyl succinimide, and positive charge directors such as cobalt and iron naphthenates. The thermoplastic resin particles can comprise a mixture of (1) a polyethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of (i) polyethylene and (ii) acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or alkyl esters thereof, wherein (ii) comprises 0.1 to 20 weight percent of the copolymer; and (2) a random copolymer (iii) selected from the group consisting of vinyl toluene and styrene, and (iv) selected from the group consisting of butadiene and acrylate.

The toner particles may contain pigment particles and a resin selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, halogenated polyolefins and mixtures thereof. These liquid developers are prepared by first dissolving the polymer resin in a liquid vehicle by heating at temperatures of from about 80° C. to about 120° C., adding pigment to the hot polymer solution and attriting the mixture, and then cooling the mixture so that the polymer becomes insoluble in the liquid vehicle, thus forming an insoluble resin layer around the pigment particles.

The functional segment of the: block copolymer is oriented to the surface thereof, and the compatible segment thereof is oriented to be compatible with other resins and a coloring agent contained in the toner, thereby providing the toner with both liquid-repelling and solvent-soluble properties.

     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid developer with many of the advantages illustrated herein. 
     Another object of the present invention resides in the provision of a liquid developer capable of high particle charging. 
     It is a further object of the invention to provide positively charged liquid developers wherein there are selected as insoluble charge adjuvants, or charge additives quaternary polyammonium salts. 
     It is still a further object of the invention to provide a liquid developer wherein developed image defects, such as smearing, loss of resolution and loss of density, are eliminated, or minimized, and wherein there are selected economical charge components that permit toners that can be easily transferred from imaging members such as photoreceptor drums. 
     Also, in another object of the present invention there are provided positively charged liquid developers with certain charge adjuvants. 
     Another object of the present invention resides in the provision of liquid developers with known additives and certain quaternary ammonium polymer adjuvants; and wherein the resulting liquid developers minimize the charging tendencies of the pigments selected, and wherein these adjuvants are not leached into the hydrocarbon liquid or charge director. 
     These and other objects of the present invention can be accomplished in embodiments by the provision of liquid developers with certain charge adjuvants comprised of quaternary polyammonium compounds. In embodiments, the present invention is directed to positively charged liquid developers comprised of a toner resin, pigment, and a charge adjuvant comprised of certain quaternary polyammonium compounds wherein the quaternary polyammonium compound is comprised of from about 0.1 to about 20 weight percent and preferably from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the toner composition, and wherein the ammonium repeat unit composition in the quaternary polyammonium polymers is from about 5 to about 100 weight percent and preferably from about 20 to about 100 weight percent. The quaternary polyammonium polymer may be random, blocked or segmented. 
     Two general Formulas I and II that follow can be utilized to illustrate the quaternary polyammonium charge adjuvant compounds of the present invention, wherein R is an aliphatic group like alkyl, and X is an anion like a halide, tosylate, and the like. In the polyammonium compounds I, a polymer backbone is substituted with pendent groups which generally contain a spacer or group of atoms separating the ammonium group in the pendent group from the polymer backbone. The spacer may be absent, thus the ammonium group is attached directly to the polymer backbone and comprises the entire pendent group. The pendent ammonium group may be incorporated in an aromatic or nonaromatic ring structure or may be acyclic. In the polyammonium compounds of II, the polymer backbone contains the ammonium group therein. The backbone ammonium group may be incorporated in a cyclic ring structure or may be acyclic. Also, polyammonium compounds, which contain both pendent and backbone ammonium groups, can be selected in embodiments. The pendent group may contain in the group of atoms comprising the spacer various chemically inert functional group such as an ester, amide, ether and the like that remain unreactive during the toner preparation processes. The polymer backbone can generally be hydrocarbon and may also contain heteroatoms or heteroatom groups. ##STR2##

     The charge on the toner particles alone may be measured in terms of particle mobility using a high field measurement device. Particle mobility is a measure of the velocity of a toner particle in a liquid developer divided by the size of the electric field within which the liquid developer is employed. The greater the charge on a toner particle, the faster it moves through the electrical field of the development zone. The movement of the particle is important for image development and background cleaning. Toner particle mobility can be measured using the electroacoustics effect, the application of an electric field and the measurement of sound described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,497,208, the disclosure of which is totally incorporated herein by reference. This technique is particularly useful for nonaqueous dispersions because the measurements can be accomplished at high volume loadings, for example greater than 1 weight percent. Measurements rendered by this technique have been shown to correlate with image quality, that is for example high mobilities have been shown to result in improved image density, higher image resolution and superior transfer efficiency, for example U.S. Pat. No. 5,066,821, U.S. Pat. No.  5,034,299, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,028,508, the disclosures of which are totally incorporated herein by reference. Residual conductivity, that is the conductivity from the charge director, can be measured with a low field device as described in the Examples. 
     To increase the toner particle charge and, accordingly, increase the mobility and transfer latitude of the toner particles, certain charge adjuvants can be added to the toner particles, examples of which include poly(styrene-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium chloride), poly(styrene-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium bromide), poly(styrene-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium tosylate), poly(2-ethylhexyl methacrylate-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate bromide), poly(2-ethylhexyl methacrylate-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate nitrate), poly(2-ethylhexyl methacrylate-co-N,N,N-triethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate chloride), poly(n-butylmethacrylate-co-N,N,N-triethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate chloride), poly(styrene-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate tosylate), poly(4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium bromide), poly(4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium chloride), poly(4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium tosylate), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate chloride), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium chloride), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium bromide), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium tosylate), poly(N,N-dimethyl-3,5-dimethylenepiperidinium chloride) and the like. The adjuvants can be added to the liquid toner particles in an amount of from about 0.1 percent to about 20 percent of the total developer solids of toner resin, pigment, and charge adjuvant, and preferably from about 1 percent to about 10 percent of the total weight of solids contained in the developer. 
     The liquid electrostatic developer of the present invention can be prepared by a variety of known processes, such as, for example, mixing, in a nonpolar liquid with the thermoplastic resin, charge adjuvant, and colorant like pigment in a manner that the resulting mixture contains about 15 to about 30 percent by weight of solids; heating the mixture to a temperature of from about 70° C. to about 130° C. until a uniform dispersion is formed; adding an additional amount of nonpolar liquid sufficient to decrease the total solids concentration of the developer to about 10 to about 20 percent by weight; cooling the dispersion to about 10° C. to about 50° C.; adding a charge director compound to the dispersion; and diluting the dispersion to 1 percent to 2 percent solids; and wherein the resin, pigment and charge adjuvant are dispersed in the liquid and charge director mixture. 
     In the initial mixture, the resin, colorant and charge adjuvant may be added separately to an appropriate vessel which can vary in size from 50 milliliters to 1,000 liters such as, for example, an attritor, heated ball mill, heated vibratory mill, such as a Sweco Mill (manufactured by Sweco Company, Los Angeles, Calif.) equipped with particulate media for dispersing and grinding, a Ross double planetary mixer (manufactured by Charles Ross and Son, Hauppauge, N.Y.), or a two roll heated mill, which requires no particulate media. Useful particulate media include materials like a spherical cylinder selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, carbon steel, alumina, ceramic, zirconia, silica and sillimanite. Carbon steel particulate media are particularly useful when colorants other than black are used. A typical diameter range for the particulate media is in the range of 0.04 to 0.5 inch (approximately 1.0 to approximately 13 millimeters). 
     Sufficient nonpolar liquid is added to provide a dispersion of from about 15 to about 50 percent solids. This mixture is then subjected to elevated temperatures during the initial mixing procedure to plasticize and soften the resin. The mixture is sufficiently heated to provide a uniform dispersion of all the solid materials of, for example, colorant, adjuvant and resin. However, the temperature at which this step is undertaken should not be so high as to degrade the nonpolar liquid or decompose the resin or colorant if present. Accordingly, the mixture in embodiments is heated to a temperature of from about 70° C. to about 130° C., and preferably from about 75° C. to about 110° C. The mixture may be ground in a heated ball mill or heated attritor at this temperature for about 15 minutes to 5 hours, and preferably about 60 to about 180 minutes. After grinding at the above temperatures, an additional amount of nonpolar liquid may be added to the dispersion. The amount of nonpolar liquid to be added at this point should be an amount sufficient to decrease the total solids concentration of the dispersion to about 10 to about 20 percent by weight. 
     The dispersion is then cooled to about 10° C. to about 50° C., and preferably to about 15° C. to about 30° C., while mixing is continued until the resin admixture solidifies or hardens. Upon cooling, the resin admixture precipitates out of the dispersant liquid. Cooling is accomplished by methods such as the use of a cooling fluid like water, glycols, such as ethylene glycol, in a jacket surrounding the mixing vessel. Cooling is accomplished, for example, in the same vessel, such as an attritor, while simultaneously grinding with particulate media to prevent the formation of a gel or solid mass; without stirring to form a gel or solid mass, followed by shredding the gel or solid mass and grinding by means of particulate media; or with stirring to form a viscous mixture and grinding by means of particulate media. The resin precipitate is cold ground for about 1 to 36 hours, and preferably from about 2 to about 6 hours. Additional liquid may be added at any time during the preparation of the liquid developer to facilitate grinding or to dilute the developer to the appropriate percent solids needed for developing. Other processes of preparation are generally illustrated in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,760,009; 5,017,451; 4,923,778 and 4,783,389, the disclosures of which are totally incorporated herein by reference. 
     Embodiments of the invention will be illustrated in the following nonlimiting Examples, it being understood that these Examples are intended to be illustrative only and that the invention is not intended to be limited to the materials, conditions, process parameters and the like recited herein. The conductivity of the liquid toner dispersions and charge director solutions were determined with a Scientifica 627 Conductivity Meter (Scientifica, Princeton, N.J.). The measurement signal for this meter is a low distortion 18 hz sine wave with an amplitude of 5.4 to 5.8 volts rms. Toner particle mobilities and zeta potentials were determined with a MBS-8000 electrokinetic sonic analysis (ESA) system (Matec Applied Science Hopkinton, Mass.). The system was calibrated in the aqueous mode per manufacturer&#39;s recommendation to provide an ESA signal corresponding to a zeta potential of -26 millivolts for a 10 percent (v/v) suspension of LUDOX™ (DuPont). The system was then set up for nonaqueous measurements. The toner particle mobility is dependent on a number of factors including particle charge and particle size. The ESA system also calculates the zeta potential which is directly proportional to toner charge and is independent of particle size. Particle size was measured by the Horiba CAPA-500 centrifugal automatic particle analyzer manufactured by Horiba Instruments, Inc., Irvine, Calif. 
     Image quality of the developers of the invention was determined on a Savin 870 copier modified as follows. 
     1) disconnecting the image density feedback loop from the development electrode and connecting the electrode to a Trek Model 610 high voltage power supply (Trek, Medina, N.Y.), 
     2) disconnecting the transfer corona and connecting same to a Trek Model 610 high voltage power supply (Trek, Medina, N.Y.). 
     To evaluate positive developers, this system was operated with a reverse image target with white characters on a black background such that the image had a positive voltage less than the development voltage and the background had a positive voltage greater than the image voltage thus resulting in the positive particles being pushed selectively onto the image area. Development voltage ranged form 500 to 1,000 volts. Transfer to paper was conducted at -6,500 volts. 
    
    
     CHARGE ADJUVANT SYNTHESIS 1 
     Poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylamino-N-2-ethyl methacrylate)--1A--Precursor to 1B and 1C 
     A 2 liter four neck round bottom flask, equipped with a thermometer, mechanical stirrer, and an Argon inlet and outlet on top of a water condenser to a gas bubbler was charged with 900 grams of toluene, 195 grams of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacryate (Scientific Polymer Products, Inc. No. M-167) and 105 grams of styrene (Aldrich No. $497-2). The methacrylate monomer was first passed through a DHR-4 column (Scientific Polymer Products, Inc.) to remove the methyl hydroquinone inhibitor. The styrene was used as received. The monomer solution was charged with 1.05 gram of AIBN initiator and was sparged with Argon at ambient temperature for 1 hour before heating was begun. The solution was mechanically stirred under a gentle Argon flow while heating in an oil bath. A solution temperature of 68° to 70° C. was maintained for 46 hours after which heating was terminated and the solution cooled to ambient temperature while still under a gentle Argon flow. The poly(styrene-co-2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) product was isolated by coagulating 250 milliliter portions of the copolymer solution into 2.5 liter portions of hexane (5x) with mechanical stirring. The coagulated copolymer was allowed to air dry overnight for about 17 hours at ambient temperature in the fume hood and was finally dried in vacuo (about 0.3 millimeter Hg) for about 17 hours at 50° to 55° C. to provide 181.2 grams of the product of poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylamino-N-2-ethyl methacrylate)--1A.  1  H-NMR analysis in CDCl 3  indicated about 54 mole percent 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and 46 mole percent styrene repeat units. 
     Poly(styrene-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate tosylate)-1B 
     A 2 liter 3 neck round bottom flask equipped with a thermometer, a water condenser, and a mechanical stirrer was charged with 70 grams of poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylamino-N-2-ethyl methacrylate)--1A pre-quaternized copolymer, and 47.60 grams (0,256 mole) of methyl tosylate (Aldrich No. 15,899-2) and 620.4 grams of toluene. The pre-quaternized copolymer contains 44.66 grams (0.284 mole) of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate repeat units for a charged quaternization level of 90 mole percent. The initial solution rapidly yielded a precipitate upon gentle warming. The mixture was stirred for 48 hours at about 50° C. (oil bath) and was then vacuum filtered on a coarse frit funnel. The solid was washed on the funnel with 200 milliliters of toluene and was sucked down and dried overnight for about 17 hours in vacuo at 55° to 60° C. at 0.3 millimeter Hg to provide 116.8 grams (99 percent) of the product poly(styrene-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl-methacrylate tosylate)--1 B.  1  H-NMR analysis in DMSO-d 6  and D 2  O, respectively, indicated about 53 and 54 mole percent quaternized repeat units and 47 and 46 mole percent styrene repeat units. 
     Poly(styrene-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate bromide)--1C 
     A 1 liter 3 neck round bottom flask equipped with a thermometer, a water condenser, and a mechanical stirrer was charged with 35 grams of poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylamino-N-2-ethyl methacrylate)--1A pre-quaternized copolymer, and about 400 grams of toluene solvent, and 71 milliliters (0.142 mole; 13.48 grams) of a 2 molar solution of methyl bromide in a methyl tertiary butyl ether solvent (Aldrich No. 33,828-1). The pre-quaternized copolymer contains 22.33 grams (0.142 mole) of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate repeat units for a charged quaternization level of 100 mole percent. The initial solution rapidly yielded a precipitate while stirring at ambient temperature. The mixture was stirred for 20 hours at ambient temperature and then was filtered on a coarse frit funnel to provide a solid paste still saturated with toluene. The paste was transferred to a medium frit funnel and was covered with acetone and was then vacuum filtered which helped to remove the bulk of the entrapped toluene. The solid was dried in vacuo (about 0.3 millimeters Hg) for 18.5 hours at about 55° C. and was pulverized and then dried further for 21 hours at 70° C. and finally for 17 hours at 107° C.  1  H-NMR analysis in DMSO-d 6  indicated at least 88 mole percent of the originally present 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate repeat units were quaternized to provide the product poly(styrene-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate bromide)--1C. 
     Poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylamino-N-2-ethyl methacrylate)--1D; Precursor to 1E 
     The polymerization procedure, scale and apparatus of charge adjuvant synthesis 1A was again employed except that 134.5 grams of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and 165.5 grams of styrene were charged into the 900 grams of toluene solvent. After sparging with Argon, 1.20 grams (0.40 percent based on total monomer charge) of AIBN initiator was added and the polymerization solution was heated for 19 hours between 66 and 80° C. The polymer was coagulated and dried as described in charge adjuvant synthesis 1A, and 147.0 grams of product poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylamino-N-2-ethyl methacrylate)--1D was isolated.  1  H-NMR analysis in CDCl 3  indicated about 43 mole percent of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and 57 mole percent of styrene repeat units. 
     Poly[styrene-co-N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-N,N-dimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate bromide)--1E 
     To a 100 milliliter single neck round bottom flask were added 10.0 grams of poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylamino-N-2-ethyl methacrylate)--1D and 47.1 grams of toluene. The 10 grams of 1D contain 5.27 grams (0.0335 mole) of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate repeat units to which were added 5.70 grams of 2-bromoethyl ethyl ether (Aldrich B6,620-5). Since the 2-bromoethyl ethyl ether is about 90 weight percent bromoether and 10 weight percent ethyl bromide, the 5.70 grams represent a 100 mole percent charge of the bromoether versus the 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate repeat units in the 10 gram charge of 1D. The resulting solution was refluxed for 5 hours yielding a solid. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and the solid product failed to dissolve upon adding 30 milliliters more toluene. The solid was vacuum filtered on a medium frit funnel and was dried for 16 hours in vacuo (about 0.3 millimeter Hg) at  50° to 55° C. to provide 12 grams of poly[styrene-co-N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl ammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate bromide)--1E.  1  H-NMR analysis in CDCl 3  indicated about 58 mole percent of styrene and 42 mole percent of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate repeat units. 
     CHARGE ADJUVANT SYNTHESIS 2 
     Poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium bromide) 
     A 500 milliliter 3 neck round bottom flask equipped with a thermometer, a water condenser, and a magnetic stirring football was charged with 15 grams of Reillene 4200 powder, 170 grams of chloroform, and 91 grams of methanol to provide a yellow polymer solution. Reillene 4200 [poly(4-vinylpyridine)] is available from the Reilly Tar and Chemical Company and has a weight average molecular weight of 200,000. To this solution at ambient temperature was added a 2 molar solution of methyl bromide (53.5 ml) in t-butyl methyl ether (Aldrich No. 33,828-1). The 15 grams of poly(4-vinylpyridine) contains 0.143 mole of 4-vinylpyridine repeat units and the 53.5 milliliters contains 0.107 mole of methyl bromide for a charged 75 mole percent quaternization level. After overnight reflux, one-half of the copolymer solution by weight was rotoevaporated (50° to 60° C. at about 50 millimeters Hg for 1 to 2 hours) to dryness and  1  H-NMR analysis (D 2  O) indicated only about 60 mole percent quaternization. To the other half of the above solution was added an additional 7.1 milliliters of the 2M methyl bromide solution and the solution was refluxed (56° C.) for an additional 71 hours after which time a mixture resulted. The solvents were rotoevaporated (50° to 60° C. at about 50 millimeters Hg for  1 to 2 hours) from the mixture and the residual solid was dried in vacuo (0.3 millimeter Hg) at 50° to 60° C. for about 4 hours to provide 13.96 grams of the copolymer product poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-4-vinyl-N-methylpyridinium bromide).  1  H-NMR analysis in D 2  O indicated about 80 mole percent of methyl bromide quaternized repeat units. 
     CHARGE ADJUVANT SYNTHESIS 3 
     Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate chloride) 
     A 500 milliliter four neck round bottom flask equipped with a thermometer, a magnetic stirring football, and an Argon inlet and outlet on top of a water condenser to a gas bubbler was charged with 20.77 grams (0.10 mole) of 2-trimethylammoniumethyl methacrylate chloride (Rohm Tech. Inc. Pleximon 735/Mhoromer BM-604-400 ppm MeHQ) in an equal weight of methanol, 13.01 grams (0.10 mole) of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (Scientific Polymer Products M-124-600 ppm MeHQ) and 190 grams of methanol. Both monomers, the 2-trimethylammoniumethyl methacrylate chloride and the 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, were passed thru a Dehibit 100 column (Polysciences, Inc.) just prior to polymerization to remove the MeHQ polymerization inhibitor. The mixture was sparged with Argon for 1 hour and then 0.10 gram of AIBN polymerization initiator was added. The solution was refluxed (64° C.) for 19 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature under a gentle Argon flow, the polymer solution was coagulated into 2.7 liters of THF and the powdery solid was filtered and dried about 17 hours in vacuo (0.3 millimeter Hg) at 55° to 60° C. to provide 21.34. grams (63 percent) of the product, poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-N,N,N-trimethylammonium-N-2-ethyl methacrylate chloride).  1  H-NMR analysis (D 2  O) indicated about a 50 to 50 mole percent-repeat unit composition. This NMR result illustrates that the NMR signals indicated that the product contained about an equal number of polymeric repeat units (mole percent repeat units) derived from each of the two monomers charged. 
     CHARGE ADJUVANT PREPARATION 4 
     Poly(N,N-dimethyl-3,5-dimethylenepiperidinium chloride) or Poly(diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride) 
     About 21 grams of the title polymer as a 20 weight percent water solution (Scientific Polymer Products #175; M w  200,000 to 300,000) was rotoevaporated (for 1 hour at 70° to 80° C. at 40 to 50 millimeters Hg) to dryness. To 4.15 grams of the above isolated polymer were added 40 to 50 grams of methanol and the somewhat hazy solution was precipitated into 1 liter of magnetically agitated THF. The precipitated colorless solid was vacuum filtered and dried for 3 hours in vacuo at 40° to 45° C. A quantitative recovery of a powdery solid poly(N,N-dimethyl-3,5-dimethylenepiperidinium chloride) was obtained and stored in a desiccator until incorporation into a toner. 
     CHARGE DIRECTOR SYNTHESIS I 
     Synthesis of Hydroxy Bis[3,5-Tertiary Butyl Salicylic]Aluminate Monohydrate at Elevated Temperature 
     To a solution of 12 grams (0.3 mole) of NaOH in 500 milliliters of water were added 50 grams (0.2 mole) of di-tert-butyl salicylic acid. The resulting mixture was heated to 60° C. to dissolve the acid. A second solution was prepared from dissolving 33.37 grams (0.05 mole) of aluminum sulfate, Al 2  (SO 4 ) 3  -18H 2  O, into 200 milliliters of water with heating to 60° C. The former solution containing the sodium salicylate salt was added rapidly and dropwise into the latter aluminum sulfate salt solution with stirring. When the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred an additional 5 to 10 minutes at 60° C. and then cooled to room temperature, about 25° C. The mixture was then filtered and the collected solid hydroxy bis[3,5-tertiary butyl salicylic]aluminate monohydrate was washed with water until the acidity of the used wash water was about 5.5. The product was dried for 16 hours in a vacuum oven at 110° C. to afford 52 grams (0.096 mole, 96 percent theory) of a white powder of the above monohydrate, melting point of &gt;300° C. When a sample, about 50 grams, of the hydroxy bis[3,5-tertiary butyl salicylic]aluminate monohydrate was analyzed for water of hydration by Karl-Fischer titration after drying for an additional 24 hours at 100° C. in a vacuum, the sample contained 2.1 weight percent of water. The theoretical value calculated for a monohydrate is 3.2 weight percent of water. 
     Infrared spectra of the above product hydroxy bis[3,5-tertiary butyl salicylic]aluminate monohydrate indicated the absence of peaks characteristic of the starting material di-tert-butyl salicylic acid and indicated the presence of a Al--OH band characteristic at 3,660 cm -1  and peaks characteristic of water of hydration. 
     NMR analysis for the hydroxy aluminate complex was obtained for carbon, hydrogen and aluminum nuclei and were all consistent with the above: prepared monohydrate.
