Claims13
A fuser member comprising:
- a substrate layer comprising a polyimide polymer and polyethylene glycol ester, wherein the substrate layer has an onset decomposition temperature of from about 400° C. to about 600° C. and wherein the polyethylene glycol ester is selected from the group consisting of:
- polyethylene glycol dilaurate, polyethylene glycol di(2-ethlyhexoate), polyethylene glycol N-succinimidyl propionate, polyethylene glycol nonylphenyl ether acetate, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether succinate, polyethylene glycol dioleate, polyethylene glycol monolaurate, polyethylene glycol sorbitan monolaurate, polyethylene glycol sorbitan monooleate, polyethylene glycol sorbitan monostearate, polyethylene glycol sorbitan tristearate, mono-methyl polyethylene glycol succinate and N-succinimidyl ester;
- an intermediate layer directly disposed on the substrate layer;
- and
- a release layer disposed on the intermediate layer.
