Abstract
A compliant roller for use in a xerographic fusing apparatus is made by placing a rigid gudgeoned roller core in a mold assembly with a preshrunk outer sleeve positioned about the interior surface of the mold and by forcing an elastomeric siloxane, e.g., silicone rubber, between the core and the sleeve. The sleeve is comprised of a material which contains tetrafluoroethylene and/or hexafluoropropylene copolymers. The ends of the roller are sealed with an epoxy resin and a forming fixture to form an oil tight and airtight seal.
