A fuser member having a substrate, an outer layer with a fluoropolymer, and a release agent material coating on the outer layer, wherein the release agent material coating contains (a) a blend with a mercapto functional release agent having the following formula II: wherein A represents &#x2014;R&#x2014;X, wherein Rrepresents an alkyl group having from about 1 to about 10 carbons, X represents &#x2014;SH; Rand Rare the same or different and each is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl having from about 1 to about 25 carbons, an aryl having from about 4 to about 10 carbons, and an arylalkyl; Ris selected from the group consisting of an alkyl having from about 1 to about 25 carbons, an aryl having from about 4 to about 10 carbons, an arylalkyl, and a substituted diorganosiloxane chain having from about 1 to about 500 siloxane units; b and c are numbers and are the same or different and each satisfy the conditions of 1&#x2266;b&#x2266;10 and 10&#x2266;c&#x2266;1,000 d and d' are numbers and are the same or different and are 2 or 3, and e and e&#x2032; are numbers and are the same or different and are 0 or 1 and satisfy the conditions that d+e=3 and d&#x2032;+e&#x2032;=3 and (b) a fluorinated silicone release agent having the following Formula I: wherein m is a number of from about 0 to about 25 and n is a number of from about 1 to about 25; x/(x+y) is from about 1 percent to about 100 percent; Rand Rare selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, and alkylamino groups; and Ris selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, alkylamino, a polyorganosiloxane, and a fluoro-chain of the formula &#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;(CF)&#x2014;CFwherein o is a number of from about 0 to about 25 and p is a number of from about 1 to about 25.

Stabilization of fluorinated silicone fuser release agents using mercapto functional silicones

An electrical component including a plurality of electrically conductive fibers in a matrix, wherein the matrix is prepared from a composition including a methyl methacrylate monomer and a modified bisphenol monomer, wherein the electrical component has a region at least substantially free of the matrix to provide a plurality of electrical contact points.

Electrical component

A process for fusing toner images to a substrate comprising: providing a fusing member having a fusing surface; heating said fuser member to an elevated temperature to fuse toner to said substrate; applying directly to said fusing surface a fuser release agent oil blend composition wherein volatile emissions arising from the fuser release agent oil blend are minimized or eliminated.

Fuser oil compositions and processes thereof

A method for printing or copying text and/or graphics on support medium in a removable manner to facilitate alterations comprising: creating a toned image, corresponding to the text and/or graphics on a support medium, wherein the image receiving side of the support medium prior to receiving the toned image is blank or contains extraneous markings; and fixing the toned image to the support medium by setting a fusing condition efficacious to removably fix the toned image, thereby rendering the first toned image removably fixed on the support medium.
