Method for producing core-shell structured resin microparticles and core-shell structured toner containing core-shell structured resin microparticles

摘要

Provided is a method for producing core-shell structured resin particles, comprising the steps of: providing a dispersion liquid of hydrophobic resin particles in which the hydrophobic resin particles are dispersed into an aqueous medium containing an anionic surfactant A and an anionic surfactant B; providing a dispersion liquid of resin microparticles in which resin microparticles are dispersed into an aqueous medium; mixing the dispersion liquid of hydrophobic resin particles and the dispersion liquid of resin microparticles; adhering the resin microparticles to surfaces of the hydrophobic resin particles by adding a water soluble metal salt to a mixture resulting from above step, wherein the surfactant A and the surfactant B satisfy the specific conditions.
