Abstract
A fixing member has a releasing layer that includes a releasing layer material. A method of manufacturing the fixing member having the releasing layer includes the releasing layer material. The releasing layer includes a monomolecular layer of organic silane-based compounds.
Claims15
A fixing member, comprising:
- a fixing member body having a surface;
- and
- a releasing layer fixed on the surface, wherein the releasing layer comprises a monomolecular layer derived from an organic silane-based compound having a lipophilic organic group at one end and a hydrolysis-polymerizable functional group at another end, and the monomolecular layer is covalently bonded to the surface by the hydrolysis-polymerizable functional group.
A fixing device comprising:
- a fixing roller or a fixing belt;
- and
- a pressure roller or a pressure belt arranged to rotate through engagement with the fixing roller or the fixing belt,
- wherein at least one of the fixing roller, the fixing belt, the pressure roller, and the pressure belt comprises a fixing member, wherein the fixing member comprises:
- a fixing member body having a surface;
- and
- a releasing layer fixed on the surface,
- wherein the releasing layer comprises a monomolecular layer derived from an organic silane-based compound having a lipophilic organic group at one end and a hydrolysis-polymerizable functional group at another end, and the monomolecular layer is covalently bonded to the surface by the hydrolysis-polymerizable functional group.
