  • Publication number: 20120077000
    Abstract: A process of producing an image including transferring porous polymeric marking particles to a receiver, and fixing the marking particles to the receiver by applying heat and pressure by contacting the marking particles with a heated fuser member including a topcoat layer having a storage modulus of at least 10 MPa at 175° C. In particular embodiments, the invention is specifically directed towards fusing porous toner materials, and enables reducing the image relief, toner spread, and differential gloss of resulting fused toner images. Higher gloss and reduced differential gloss is obtained at similar or reduced toner spread, measured by toner particle area gain, allowing the use of reduced fusing conditions compared to solid toners.

  • Publication number: 20110159176
    Abstract: A method of making a fuser member having an annealed outer surface comprising: providing an outer layer comprising compatible first and second fluorothermoplastics over an outer substrate surface, wherein the first fluorothermoplastic is a crosslinkable polymer and the second fluorothermoplastic is a linear polymer; curing the outer layer to crosslink the first fluorothermoplastic whereby the resulting crosslinked first fluorothermoplastic and the linear polymer second fluorothermoplastic form a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (SIPN); and annealing an outer surface of the outer layer by contacting the fuser member with applied pressure against a heated surface, without first sintering the second fluorothermoplastic linear polymer through application of heat alone.

  • Publication number: 20110159276
    Abstract: A fuser member comprising: a substrate comprising an outer substrate surface; and an outer layer comprising compatible first and second fluorothermoplastics disposed over the outer substrate surface, wherein the first fluorothermoplastic is a crosslinked polymer and the second fluorothermoplastic is a linear polymer and wherein the compatible first and second fluorothermoplastics form a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (SIPN). The SIPN provides a relatively compliant layer in comparison to use of the crosslinked polymer alone, and avoids the need for sintering of a layer formed from the linear polymer alone. The SIPN may be formed from an aqueous coated composition of polyperfluoroalkoxy-tetrafluoroethylene (PFA) and THV Fluoroplastics (FLC) polymers along with a soluble organic primary amine for crosslinking the THV Fluoroplastics (FLC).
