Abstract: Coated carrier particles are provided for use in developer compositions for electrophotographic imaging. The coated carrier particles include a carrier core and a resin coating that includes first and second polymer components. The coated carrier particles exhibit stable triboelectric charging during aging, decreased coating hardness, higher coating coverage, and an improved resilience to toner impaction.

Abstract: Fluoroelastomer surfaces and a method for providing a fluoroelastomer surface on a supporting substrate which includes dissolving a fluoroelastomer; adding a dehydrofluorinating agent; adding an amino silane to form a resulting homogeneous fluoroelastomer solution; and subsequently providing at least one layer of the homogeneous fluoroelastomer solution to the supporting substrate.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing the edge raggedness and background toner level of, for example, tri-level images by reestablishing the images and cleaning fields of the first developed image with a closely spaced electrode. The toner is redistributed by electrical and/or mechanical forces which leads to the removal of edge raggedness and background toner before transfer of the tri-level images to a copy sheet.

Abstract: A fuser member comprised of a supporting substrate comprising an outer layer of a volume grafted elastomer, which is a substantially uniform integral interpenetrating network of a hybrid composition of a fluoroelastomer and a polyorganosiloxane, said volume graft having been formed by dehydrofluorination of said fluoroelastomer by a nucleophilic dehydrofluorinating agent, followed by addition polymerization by the addition of an alkene or alkyne functionally terminated polyorganosiloxane and a polymerization initiator; and wherein said outer layer contains a reactive metal oxide in an amount of from about 2 to about 7 weight percent.

Abstract: A toner cartridge for use with a copier having a toner hopper with a first interlocking seal including a second interlocking seal being specially adapted to mate with the first interlocking seal of the toner hopper, a hinged movable panel being disposed at the bottom portion of the toner cartridge, a movable panel, seal and a filament for manipulating the movable panel.
