A fuser member, for fixing a developed image, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a heat induction layer disposed on the substrate, the heat induction layer comprising carbon nanotubes coated with a layer of metal dispersed in a polymer matrix;
- and
- an outer layer comprising a hydrophobic polymer with a surface free energy below 22 mN/m.
1 more element
An image rendering device comprising:
- an image applying component for applying an image to a copy substrate;
- and a fusing apparatus which receives the copy substrate with the applied image from the image applying component and fixes the applied image more permanently to the copy substrate, the fusing apparatus comprising a fusing member and a pressure member which define a nip therebetween for receiving the copy substrate therethrough, the fuser member comprising;
- a substrate;
- a heat induction layer disposed on the substrate, the heat induction layer comprising carbon nanotubes coated with a layer of metal dispersed in a polymer matrix;
- and an outer layer comprising a fluoropolymer disposed on the heating layer.
