The invention is directed to self-regenerative, polymeric coatings and methods of using the coatings in xerography to increase the life and effectiveness of catalytic surfaces, such as, for example, charging device surfaces, by neutralizing ozone and nitrogen oxide species.

Self-regenerative xerographic coatings

A wear resistant composite member such as a fuser roll or a pressure roll and a fuser system using the same. The fuser roll and/or the pressure roll comprises a core, a first layer, an optional second layer, and a surface layer wherein at least the first layer or optional second layer comprises a fluorocarbon polymer having ceramic-based particles substantially homogeneously distributed throughout the polymer and protruding from the surface of the polymer layer.

Composite member

An external heat member having a) a heat source, b) a substrate; and thereover c) an outer fluoropolymer layer with a fluoropolymer and a conductive filler, and in a preferred embodiment, the conductive filler is a relatively small particle size silicon carbide.
