                                                    The Claimed Subject Matter                                                           

                        The claims on appeal are directed to a toner composition, a developer composition containing the                 

                toner composition, and a method of imaging using the toner composition.  The following claims are                        

                illustrative of the claimed subject matter:                                                                              

                                1.    A toner composition consisting of polyoxazolines resin particles, pigment                          
                        particles, and optional charge enhancing additives.                                                              

                                3.    A toner composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the resin particles                         
                        represented by said polyoxazolines are of the formula [-CH -CH -N(R)-]  wherein R is                             
                                                                                    2     2       n                                      
                        trifluoroacetyl, trifluoropropenyl, trifluoroacetyl/acetyl, stearoyl, trialkylsilyl, fluorinated                 
                        alkyl, or fluorinated alkyl substituents, and n is between 15 and 100.                                           

                                15. A developer composition comprised of the toner composition of claim 1 and                            
                        carrier particles.                                                                                               

                                20. A method of imaging which comprises formulating an electrostatic latent                              
                        image on a photoconductive imaging member, affecting development thereof with the toner                          
                        composition of claim 1, and thereafter transferring the developed image to a suitable                            
                        substrate.
