Electrostatographic apparatus having transport member with high friction layer

In an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus including a primary imaging member for producing an electrostatic latent image;

• a development station for applying toner particles to said latent image;
• a transfer member for transferring a developed toner image to a receiver member;
• a fuser assembly, with a fusing member to which a release oil is applied, for fixing said developed toner image, thereby forming a fused toner image on a receiver member;
• and a transport member for transporting receiver members with respect to said fuser assembly and frictional coupled to said transfer member for driving said transfer member, a method for forming said transport member comprising the steps of:
• providing a substrate bearing a high friction layer that includes inorganic particles, with a compound of pseudo-boebmite, dispersed in an organic binder of poly(vinyl alcohol, in a weight ratio of about 3:1 to about 20:1, so that said high friction layer is capable of preventing a loss of frictional coupling due to release oil applied to a receiver member bearing a fused toner image.
