  • Release fluid compositions
    Patent number: 7494756
    Abstract: Use of release fluids or agents constituting hyperbranched polymers. The three-dimensional structure imparts characteristics that make the hyperbranched polymers useful in xerographic processes. The hyperbranched polymer release fluids or agents may be used with a fuser member having a substrate, an outer layer covering the substrate, and a release coating on the outer layer, wherein the release coating includes a hyperbranched polymer.
