Method of coating fuser member with thermoplastic containing zinc oxide and aminosiloxane
A method of making a fuser member having a support comprising the steps of:a) providing a support;b) coating from an organic solvent onto said support a coating composition comprising a fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer, a curing agent having a bisphenol residue, a particulate filler containing zinc oxide, and an aminosiloxane, the fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer having subunits of:&#8212;(CH2CF2)x&#8212;, &#8212;(CF2CF(CF3)y&#8212;, and &#8212;(CF2CF2)z&#8212;,wherein&#8195;x is from 1 to 50 or 60 to 80 mole percent,&#8195;y is from 10 to 90 mole percent,&#8195;z is from 10 to 90 mole percent,&#8195;x+y+z equals 100 mole percent; and(c) curing the coating composition for 3 to 10 hours at a temperature in the range of 220&deg; C. to 280&deg; C. and for an additional 2 to 10 hours at a temperature in the range of 250&deg; C. to 270&deg; C.
