  • Publication number: 20190322114
    Abstract: The present teachings include a transfer member, a multilayer imaging blanket and a variable data lithography system. The transfer member includes a fluorosilicone surface layer. The surface layer includes mixing a first part and a second part. The first part includes a vinyl terminated trifluoropropyl methylsiloxane, an IR absorbing filler, silica and a first solvent. The second part includes an organo platinum complex having vinyl groups, a methyl hydrosiloxanetrifluoropropyl methyl siloxane having hydrosilane groups an inhibitor and a second solvent. The molar ratio of vinyl groups to hydrosilane groups is 0.7:1.0 to about 1.3:1.0 in the mixture. The mixture of the first part and second is coated on a substrate to form the fluorosilicone surface layer.

  • Patent number: 9268266
    Abstract: Described is a transfer assist blade for an electrostatographic machine. The electrostatographic machine includes a charging station for charging a copy sheet to attract a developed image from an image bearing surface to a copy sheet wherein said charging station includes a corona generating device. The transfer assist blade includes a wear layer having a surface resistance of greater than about 1010 ohms. The transfer assist blade includes an interior layer having a thickness of from about 150 microns to about 500 microns. The transfer assist blade includes a back layer including a polyethylene terephthalate film having an outer layer including cross-linked aziridine/carboxylated polyester at a weight ratio of from about 0.5/99.5 to about 40/60 and a conductive component, wherein an outer surface of the back layer has a surface resistance of from about 1×108 ohms to about 9.99×108 ohms.
