Abstract: There is provided a carrier, for an electrcostatographic developer, comprising particles of a hard magnetic ferrite material as the core, the core having a coating of a polymer resin, said resin in turn having a coating of an organic conductive material. The organic conductive material can be a charge control agent and can be present in very small amounts. The developer compositions have no need for preconditioning since they have stable charging characteristics. Further, they exhibit low levels of “dusting”.

Abstract: Disclosed is an externally heated, external heater member for transferring heat to a fusing member used to heat fix a toner image to a substrate, such as a fuser employed in an electrophotographic process. The heater member includes: a core; a conformable base cushion layer overlying the core; and an outer layer overlying the base cushion layer, the outer layer comprising a cured fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer. In embodiments, the copolymer has subunits of: —(CH2CF2)x—, —(CF2CF(CF3))y—, and —(CF2CF2)z—, wherein x is from 1 to 50 or 60 to 80 mole percent, y is from 10 to 90 mole percent, z is from 10 to 90 mole percent, x+y+z equals 100 mole percent.
