Liquid toner including amphipathic copolymeric binder having crystalline component

Liquid electrographic toners are derived from organosols incorporating amphipathic copolymeric binder particles that include polymerizable, crystallizable compounds chemically incorporated into the dispersed portion of the copolymer. The invention further provides organosols that include amphipathic copolymeric binder particles that include a dispersed (D) portion and a solvated (S) portion, wherein the D portion has a high glass transition temperature, and at least one polymerizable, crystallizable compound is chemically incorporated into the D portion, the S portion, or both the D and S portion of the copolymer. Methods of making and electrographically printing liquid toners derived from these organosols are also described. The invention is particularly suited for preparing liquid toners for electrophotographic printing. Specifically, the invention provides a liquid electrophotographic toner composition comprising: g) a liquid carrier having a Kauri-Butanol number less than 30; and h) a plurality of toner particles dispersed in the liquid carrier, wherein the toner particles comprise at least one amphipathic copolymer comprising one or more S material portions and one or more D material portions, and wherein one or more of the D material portions comprises one or more polymerizable, crystallizable compounds, a method of making a liquid electrographic toner composition comprising steps of: a) providing an organosol comprising a plurality of toner particles dispersed in a liquid carrier, wherein the toner particles comprise at least one amphipathic copolymer, wherein the amphipathic copolymer comprises one or more S material portions and one or more D material portions, and wherein one or more of the D material portions comprises one or more crystallizable, polymerizable compounds; and b) mixing the organosol with one or more additives under conditions effective to form a dispersion, and a method of electrographically forming an image on a substrate surface comprising steps of: a) providing a liquid toner composition, the liquid toner composition comprising an organosol, wherein the organosol comprises a plurality of toner particles dispersed in a liquid carrier, wherein the toner particles comprise at least one amphipathic copolymer comprising one or more S material portions and one or more D material portions, wherein one or more of the D material portions comprises one or more polymerizable, crystallizable compounds; and b) causing an image comprising t
