摘要:
Disclosed is a migration imaging member which comprises (a) a substrate, (b) a conductive layer comprising indium tin oxide dispersed in a polymeric binder, (c) a siloxane film charge blocking layer comprising a hydrolysis reaction product of a silane of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an alkylidene group, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each, independent of the other, a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a phenyl group, or a poly(ethyleneamino) group, and R.sub.4, R.sub.5, and R.sub.6 are each, independent of the others, alkyl groups, said siloxane having reactive hydroxyl and ammonium groups attached to silicon atoms, and (d) a softenable layer comprising a softenable material and a photosensitive migration marking material. Optionally an antistatic layer comprising indium tin oxide dispersed in a polymeric binder is situated on the surface of the substrate spaced from the softenable layer.

Disclosed is a migration imaging member comprising a substrate, a first softenable layer comprising a first softenable material and a first migration marking material contained at or near the surface of the first softenable layer spaced from the substrate, and a second softenable layer comprising a second softenable material and a second migration marking material. Also disclosed is a migration imaging process employing the aforesaid imaging member.
摘要:
Methods and techniques of electrically biasing and providing a ground for migration imaging members are disclosed. An electrically conductive contact is fixed to the migration imaging member, the electrically conductive contact connecting at least an electrically conductive layer of the migration imaging member to a ground to insure proper imaging. The contacts are fixed to the migration imaging member without having to remove a portion of the softenable layer along its edge to expose the electrically conductive layer of the migration imaging member as is the current practice.

Disclosed is a process which comprises (a) providing a migration imaging member comprising (1) a substrate, (2) an infrared or red light radiation sensitive layer comprising a pigment predominantly sensitive to infrared or red light radiation, and (3) a softenable layer comprising a softenable material, a charge transport material, and a photosensitive migration marking material predominantly sensitive to radiation at a wavelength other than that to which the infrared or red light sensitive pigment is predominantly sensitive; (b) uniformly charging the imaging member; (c) subsequent to step (b), uniformly exposing the charged imaging member to a source of activating radiation with a wavelength to which the migration marking material is sensitive, wherein a filter comprising the infrared or red light radiation sensitive pigment is situated between the radiation source and the imaging member; (d) subsequent to step (b), exposing the imaging member to infrared or red light radiation at a wavelength to which the infrared or red light radiation sensitive pigment is sensitive in an imagewise pattern, thereby forming an electrostatic latent image on the imaging member; and (e) subsequent to steps (c) and (d), causing the softenable material to soften, thereby enabling the migration marking material to migrate through the softenable material toward the substrate in an imagewise pattern.

Methods for powder coating that include applying a powder coating composition to a substrate via an electrostatic gun. The powder coating composition includes a mixture of two or more materials having different densities, such as a mixture of aerogel particles and fluoropolymer-containing particles. The electrostatic gun can have a high-voltage generator that generates a negative polarity voltage between about 0 KV and about 100 KV during application of the powder coating composition, and the electrostatic gun can have a round spray nozzle. Methods of making fuser members using such powder coating methods, fuser members prepared by such methods, and methods of preparing low gloss images using such fuser members.
摘要:
A system for heated gas fusing of toner on non-porous substrates is provided. The system uses (1) an extended fusing zone held at lower temperatures than needed for a roll nip or radiant fuser, and (2) a very low melt toner which can be fused at greatly reduced temperatures compared to conventional toners. In one form, the system is realized through (a) the use of heated gas as the low temperature extended zone fusing technology, and (b) the use of ultra-low melt (ULM) toner—which requires significantly reduced temperature compared to conventional toner. On non-porous packaging substrates the use of heated gas can limit the substrate temperature to 100° C.
摘要:
A process for preparing a toner includes forming an emulsion with a buffer solution and an amorphous biodegradable polyester resin represented by Formula (1): wherein each n independently represents an integer of 1 to about 20 and x and y represent respective ratios of respective monomeric units and x ranges from about 0 to about 1000 and y ranges from about 0 to about 300; adding a colorant, a coagulant, and optionally a wax to the emulsion to form a mixture; heating the mixture, permitting aggregation and coalescence of the mixture to form toner particles; and recovering the toner particles.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides toners and processes for preparing toner particles possessing excellent charging characteristics. The process includes forming a dispersion including at least one organic and/or organometallic charge control agent, and then combining that dispersion with an emulsion suitable for use in forming toner particles.
