Method and system for magnetically-actuated mixing that uses magnetic particles and a magnetic field to allow the mixture to produce a latex emulsion. In some embodiments, a suitable process involves dissolving a resin in an organic solvent, optionally adding a surfactant, adding a neutralizing agent and water, adding magnetic particles, and exposing the mixture to magnetically-actuated mixing to form a latex emulsion. In some embodiments, the thus-produced latex emulsion may be used to form a toner. |
