PCT No. PCT/AU93/00051 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 15, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 15, 1994 PCT Filed Feb. 10, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/16415 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 19, 1993A method of production of microparticles of a thermoplastic polymer suitable as a toner for electrostatographic processes comprising the steps of melting the material in a continuous non-solvent phase having a boiling point higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic polymer, mixing the thermoplastic polymer in the continuous phase to produce an emulsion, and cooling the emulsion to produce a dispersion of solid microparticles of the thermoplastic polymer in the continuous phase. The thermoplastic polymer may include pigments or dyes to provide colored toner particles. A surface active agent may be used to control particle size.
