Abstract
The present teachings provide a fuser member. The fuser member includes a substrate layer having a polyimide polymer and a fluoro acid. A method of manufacturing a fuser member is also described.
Claims19
A fuser member comprising:
- a substrate layer comprising a polyimide polymer and a fluoro acid, wherein the fluoro acid is selected from the group consisting of:
- HOOC(CF2)nCOOH and CnF2n+1COOH, wherein n is from 2 to 18.
A fuser member comprising:
- a substrate layer comprising a polyimide polymer and a fluoro acid selected from the group consisting of HOOC(CF2)nCOOH and CnF2n+1COOH, wherein n is from 2 to 18;
- an intermediate layer disposed on the substrate layer, comprising a material selected from the group consisting of silicone and fluoroelastomer;
- and
- a release layer disposed on the intermediate layer comprising a fluoropolymer wherein the substrate layer has a modulus of from about 4,000 MPa to about 10,000 Mpa.
