Abstract: An ionographic imaging member containing a conductive layer and a uniform and continuous dielectric imaging layer free of voids, the imaging layer having a dielectric constant of from about 1.5 to about 40 and a thickness of at least about 45 micrometers, the thickness divided by the dielectric constant having a value of from about 30 to about 60 micrometers. This member may be used in an ionographic imaging process.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for forming at least one thin substantially uniform fluid coating comprising polymeric film forming material on a cylindrical mandrel, solidifying the fluid coating to form a uniform solid coating and separating the uniform solid coating from the mandrel. The process may comprise forming at least one thin substantially uniform fluid coating comprising polymeric film forming material around a cylindrical mandrel, the mandrel having a larger mass or lower thermal conductivity than the polymeric film forming material and a critical surface tension greater than the surface tension of the fluid coating, solidifying the fluid coating to form at least one thin substantially uniform solid coating comprising the polymeric film forming material around the cylindrical mandrel, heating both the uniform solid coating and the mandrel to a temperature at least above the apparent T.sub.

Abstract: A process for the fabrication of seamless substrates which comprises (1) providing a substrate with a release coating composition thereover; (2) depositing thereon by electrostatic powder spraying a polymer; (3) melting the polymer blend; and (4) subsequently permitting the melted blend to cool. Thereafter, layered photoconductive imaging members can be prepared by the application, for example, of a ground plane, a photogenerating layer, and a charge transport layer.

Abstract: A process for forming an overcoated electrophotographic imaging member comprising applying on an electrophotographic imaging member a coating in liquid form comprising a cross-linkable siloxanol-colloidal silica hybrid material having at least one silicon bonded hydroxyl group per every three --SiO-- units and a catalyst for the cross-linkable siloxanol-colloidal silica hybrid material, the coating in liquid form having an acid number less than about 1 and curing the cross-linkable siloxanol-colloidal silica hybrid material until the siloxanol-colloidal silica hybrid material forms a hard cross-linked solid organosiloxane-silica hybrid polymer layer.
