Abstract
An intermediate transfer media that includes a single layer of a polyhedral silsesquioxane polyimide, and where the silsesquioxane is attached to the polyimide or a multi layer transfer media that includes a supporting substrate, such as a polyimide, and thereover a polyhedral silsesquioxane modified polyimide, and where the silsesquioxane is attached to the polyimide.
Claims33
An intermediate transfer member comprised of a polyhedral silsesquioxane polyimide, wherein said silsesquioxane is attached to said polyimide, and wherein said polyhedral silsesquioxane polyimide is formed by reacting a POSS component selected from the group consisting of a POSS amine, a POSS alcohol, a POSS carboxylic acid, and a POSS epoxide with a polyamic acid, and wherein POSS is a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, wherein said POSS alcohol is represented by at least one of
- where each R substituent is alkyl with from about 1 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl with from about 6 to about 24 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof;
- wherein said POSS epoxide is represented by at least one of
- where each R substituent is alkyl with from about 1 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl with from about 6 to about 24 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof;
- wherein said POSS carboxylic is represented by at least one of
- where each R substituent is alkyl with from about 1 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl with from about 6 to about 24 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof;
- and wherein said POSS amine is represented by at least one of
- where each R substituent is alkyl with from about 1 to 12 carbon atoms, aryl with from about 6 to about 24 carbon atoms, or mixtures thereof.
A transfer media comprised of a polyhedral silsesquioxane polyimide, wherein said silsesquioxane is chemically bonded to said polyimide, generated by the reaction of said polyhedral silsesquioxane and a component as represented by
- wherein each R is alkyl, aryl, or mixtures thereof.
An intermediate transfer media comprised of a supporting substrate, and thereover a polyhedral silsesquioxane polyimide, wherein said silsesquioxane is chemically bonded to said polyimide, generated by the reaction of said polyhedral silsesquioxane and a component represented by
- wherein each R is alkyl, aryl, or mixtures thereof.
