The precise deposition of polymeric toner powder by laser printing is reliant on having powder
particles with appropriate flow and uniform charge properties. Nanometer sized particles known
as flow control agents (FCA) and charge control agents (CCA) are used to modify powder
behaviour to provide the appropriate characteristic for printing. This paper shows how varying
the quantity of FCA applied to the surface of Somos201 particles can affect the elongation to
failure and ultimate tensile strength of laser printed tensile test specimens.Mechanical Engineerin
