Abstract:
An inkjet printhead includes a front face having a polymer coating, the polymer coating including an oleophobic grafted polymer having a crosslinked fluoroelastomer and a perfluorinated polyether grafted to the crosslinked fluoroelastomer.
Abstract:
Described herein is a method of manufacturing a fuser member. The method includes mixing a high load fluoropolymer/carbon nanotube composition in a high shear mixer. The method includes mixing the high load fluoropolymer/carbon nanotube composition in the high shear mixer for 3 or more times. A fluoropolymer is added to the high load fluoropolymer/carbon nanotube composition to form a low load fluoropolymer/carbon nanotube composition. The low load fluoropolymer/carbon nanotube composition is mixed in a rubber compounding mixer for 3 or more times. The low load fluoropolymer/carbon nanotube composition is coated on a fuser substrate, cured and polished.

Abstract:
An oleophobic grafted polymer includes a crosslinked fluoroelastomer and a perfluorinated polyether grafted to the crosslinked fluoroelastomer. A process for making an oleophobic grafted polymer includes crosslinking a fluoroelastomer with an aminofunctionalized silane and grafting an alkoxysilane-terminated perfluorinated polyether to the crosslinked fluoroelastomer.
