Compositions include polymer filaments compatible with fused filament fabrication, comprising: a thermoplastic polymer; and a bio-based additive admixed with the thermoplastic polymer in an effective amount to decrease total volatile organic compound (TVOC) emissions under additive manufacturing conditions, as determined by gas chromatography and measured relative to the thermoplastic polymer alone, by at least about 10% on a weight basis. Methods for forming a polymer filament compatible with fused filament fabrication may comprise: forming a melt blend comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a bio-based additive; and extruding the melt blend and cooling to form a polymer filament comprising the bio-based additive admixed with the thermoplastic polymer. The bio-based additive is present in an effective amount to decrease total volatile organic compound (TVOC) emissions under additive manufacturing conditions, as determined by gas chromatography and measured relative to the thermoplastic polymer alone, by at least about 10% on a weight basis.

Polymer filaments for additive manufacturing having reduced emissions

Provided herein is a topcoat composition comprising at least one fluorosilicone, a hydride-functional crosslinking agent, an infrared-absorbing filler, and at least one dispersant that is non-reactive with the hydride-functional crosslinking agent, by weight based on a total weight of the topcoat composition, wherein the topcoat composition has a degree of crosslinking between about 10 micrograms/hour/milligrams to about 20 micrograms/hour/milligrams. Further provided herein are methods of making the topcoat composition, as well as an imaging blanket and methods of reducing coating defects on a media coated using the imaging member.

Topcoat composition of imaging blanket with improved properties

Coated carrier particles are provided for use in developer compositions for electrophotographic imaging. The coated carrier particles include a carrier core and a resin coating that includes first and second polymer components. The coated carrier particles exhibit stable triboelectric charging during aging, decreased coating hardness, higher coating coverage, and an improved resilience to toner impaction.
