  • FUSER MANUFACTURE AND APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20120225602
    Abstract: There is described a method for producing a fuser sleeve. The method includes electrospinning polymeric fibers on a conductive surface to form a non-woven fiber layer. A mixture of a fluoropolymer and a solvent is coated on the non-woven fiber layer. The mixture is heated to remove the solvent and then heated to a temperature above a melting temperature of the fluoropolymer thereby having the fluoropolymer penetrate the non-woven fiber layer and form a fuser sleeve. The sleeve is detached from the conductive surface. There is also provided a fuser sleeve comprising a fluoropolymer dispersed in a plurality of non-woven polymer fibers.

  • Fuser member and methods of making thereof
    Patent number: 8135324
    Abstract: A fuser member includes a substrate and an outer layer including a polymeric material and an aerogel component including aerogel particles having a surface area of from about 400 to about 1200 m2/g that is at least one of dispersed in or bonded to the polymeric material. Methods of making a fuser member include applying an outer layer including a polymeric material and an aerogel component over a substrate, and curing the outer layer such that the aerogel component is at least one of dispersed in or bonded to the polymeric material.
