Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provide coating compositions having pseudo-fluorine surface and methods for processing and using the coating compositions. The coating composition can include, for example, a plurality of fluorine-containing resin fillers and a plurality of nanotubes (e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) dispersed in a polymer matrix that contains, e.g., one or more cross-linked polymers. The fluorine-containing resin fillers can provide a pseudo-fluorine surface for a low surface energy of the coating composition. The nanotubes can be dispersed in the polymer matrix to provide an improved mechanical robustness of the coating composition. The coating composition can be coated on a member surface, wherein the coated member can be, for example, a fuser member, a fixing member, a pressure roller, or a release agent donor member, used in an electrostatographic printing device or process.
