Patent number: 8366970Abstract: A method for treating a carbon allotrope including providing a carbon allotrope selected from the group consisting of carbon black, amorphous carbon, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, fullerenes, or a mixture thereof; surface treating the carbon allotrope by coupling the carbon allotrope with a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane. Also described is a surface treated carbon allotrope having a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane coupled to the surface of the carbon allotrope. Also described is a coating composite for imaging components including a film forming resin; and a plurality of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane surface treated carbon allotrope particles substantially uniformly dispersed in the film forming resin, and imaging components including the coating composite.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Brian Gilmartin, Jin Wu, Liang-Bih Lin

Patent number: 8354474Abstract: The presently disclosed embodiments are directed generally to a composition that forms a cross-linked protective outer coating or layer able to withstand high temperatures and which maintains integrity in such conditions. The protective coating may be used in imaging apparatus members and components, for use in electrostatographic, including digital, apparatuses. Particular embodiments pertain to a fuser component having an outer coating comprised of a cross-linking composition that improves resistance to thermal degradation and extends the service life of the fuser component.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2009Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Brian Gilmartin, Liang-Bih Lin

Patent number: 8129081Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide charge generating layers and electrographic imaging members containing the charge generating layers. In various embodiments, an imaging member can be a multilayered photoconductive imaging member with a charge generating layer including, for example, a photogenerating pigment, such as a metal phthalocyanine; a dopant material, such as a multiple halide compound dopant and/or an ether dopant; and a binder or polymer. The imaging members can exhibit high photosensitivity, low residual potential (Verase), and excellent cyclic/environmental stability and can be used as photoreceptors, photosensitive members, and the like, in a machine of copy, printer, fax, scan, multifunction machines, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2008Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Brian Gilmartin, Liang-Bih Lin
