Abstract
A xerographic component including an intermediate transfer, fusing and/or biasing component, wherein one or more of each component may have a substrate and thereover a polymer coating with a thiophene filler dispersed or contained therein, and also an image forming apparatus for forming images on a recording medium having a charge-retentive surface to receive an electrostatic latent image thereon; a biasable component capable of receiving an electrical bias for charging one of a xerographic component or copy substrate surface; a development component to apply toner to the charge-retentive surface to develop the electrostatic latent image to form a developed image on the charge retentive surface; a transfer component to transfer the developed image from the charge retentive surface to a copy substrate; and a fuser component for fusing the developed image to a surface of the copy substrate, wherein at least one of the biasable component, transfer component and the fuser component have a) a substrate; and thereon b) a coating having a thiophene filler dispersed therein and an image forming apparatus including such xerographic component including an intermediate transfer, fusing and/or biasing component, and including a charge retentive surface, a biasable component, a development component, a transfer component, and a fuser component.
