Fusing members having copper oxide-filled, addition-cured siloxane layers

A fuser member comprising a core and a layer overlying said core, said layer comprising:

• an addition crosslinked polyorganosiloxane elastomer, said elastomer being the addition product of:
• (A) vinyl substituted multifunctional siloxane polymer having the general structure:
• wherein
• R is alkyl having from 1 to 8 carbons, or aryl having a solitary ring of from 6 to 14 carbons including carbons of any ring substituents, with the proviso that about 25 percent or less of said R groups are aryl;
• Z is an olefinic group having from 2 to 8 carbons and a terminal vinyl moiety;
• Zr is alkyl having from 1 to 8 carbons, olefin having from 2 to 8 carbons and a terminal vinyl moiety, or aryl having a solitary ring of from 6 to 14 carbons including carbons of any ring substituents;
• n and m are integers such that the weight average molecular weight of said siloxane polymer between vinyl groups is from 7,000 to 100,000, with the proviso that if m is 0 or 1, at least two of the Z and Zr groups are olefinic groups having from 2 to 8 carbons and a terminal vinyl moiety;
• and
• (B) multifunctional organo-hydrosiloxane having the general structure:
• wherein
• Each T represents:
• or both T's together represent atoms completing an organo-hydrosiloxane ring;
• Rb is H or Ra;
• and
• Ra is alkyl having from 1 to 8 carbons, or aryl having a solitary ring of from 6 to 14 carbons including carbons of any ring substituents;
• with the proviso that at least two Rb moieties are H;
• said layer further comprising copper oxide particles dispersed therein in a concentration of from 5 to 40 volume percent of the total volume of said layer.
