Flexible members for use in imaging devices comprise a polymerizable release agent.

Endless flexible members with a polymeric release agent for imaging devices

Disclosed are undercoat layers comprising a metal oxide, a polymer, and a citrate of Formula (I): wherein Ris H, alkyl, or COR'; wherein R&#x2032; is alkyl; and wherein R, R, and Rare independently alkyl. The undercoat layers are useful in imaging members because they are easily separated from the substrate. This reduces the number of steps necessary to reclaim the substrate.

Undercoat layer and imaging members comprising same

According to various embodiments, the present teachings provide an intermediate transfer member including a layer having a phosphorous containing polyamideimide having dispersed therein a conductive additive. A method of manufacturing the intermediate transfer member is provided.

Intermediate transfer member and method of manufacture

Described herein is a method of forming a seamless transfer member suitable for use with an image forming system. The method includes spray coating a UV curable polymer and conductive particles onto an inner surface of a rotating cylindrical mandrel. The UV curable polymer is cured with ultra violet energy. The cured UV polymer is removed from the cylindrical rotatable mandrel.

A photoconductor comprising a substrate, an undercoat layer, a photogenerating layer and a charge transport layer is described. The undercoat layer is disposed on the substrate and comprises a metal oxide, and a mixture of a phenolic resin and a cyclohexanecarboxylate.

Photoconductor undercoat layer

The presently disclosed embodiments relate generally to the formulation of an anticurl back coating layer that renders imaging apparatus flexible members and components their desirable flatness, for use in electrostatographic, including digital apparatuses. More particularly, the embodiments pertain to an imaging member comprising an anticurl back coating layer formulated to comprise conductive carbon nanotubes dispersion in a polymer blend comprising three film-forming thermoplastic polymers to: (a) render electrical conductivity effect for tribo-electrical charge elimination (b) impart static dissipation capability, and (c) provide surface energy lowering effect for contact friction reduction to ease imaging member belt drive as well as cutting tribo-electrical charge build-up under normal imaging member belt operational conditions in the field.

Slippery and conductivity enhanced anticurl back coating

The present embodiments are generally directed to an improved imaging member exhibiting various advantages over conventional imaging members. More specifically, the present embodiments are directed to an improved charge blocking layer formed from an aqueous-based coating solution which exhibits improved shelf life and coating properties, such as increased homogeneity and adhesion, and methods for making the same. The aqueous-based coating solution is environment-friendly and avoids the need to use more expensive organic solvents which involve higher safety risks in the manufacturing process.

Charge blocking layer and coating solution for forming the same

The disclosed embodiments are directed to a method for removing photoreceptor coatings from a rigid substrate, wherein the photoreceptor coatings disposed over a substrate of an electrophotographic photoreceptor, in order to recover it for re-use in photoreceptor manufacturing. More specifically, the invention discloses a photoreceptor substrate recovery methodology that includes the creation of an inner release layer over the substrate and followed by subjecting the rejected or used electrophotographic photoreceptor to a step of soaking in a non-toxic and environmentally-friendly stripping solution that separates the coatings from the substrate.

Gelatin release layer and methods for using the same

The disclosed embodiments are directed to processes for removing photoreceptor coatings from a substrate, wherein the photoreceptor coatings disposed over a substrate of an electrophotographic photoreceptor. More specifically, the present embodiments discloses a photoreceptor coatings removal process comprises subjecting an electrophotographic photoreceptor to a stripping solution that separates the coatings from the substrate.

Silane release layer and methods for using the same

The present embodiments are generally directed to an improved imaging member exhibiting various advantages over conventional imaging members. More specifically, the present embodiments are directed to an improved interfacial layer formed from an aqueous-based coating solution which exhibits improved formation and coating properties, such as increased homogeneity and adhesion, and methods for making the same. The aqueous-based coating solution is environment-friendly and avoids the need to use more expensive organic solvents which involve higher safety risks in the manufacturing process.

Interfacial layer and coating solution for forming the same

The presently disclosed embodiments relate generally to layers that are useful in imaging apparatus members and components, for use in electrostatographic, including digital, apparatuses. Embodiments pertain to an improved electrostatographic imaging member comprising an interfacial layer further comprising an opaque semi-crystalline polyester resin that is also a hot-melt adhesive to prevent light transmission to the substrate and thus significantly reduce 'plywood effect,' a print quality defect.
