Claim Text:
1. An intermediate transfer member comprising: a static dissipative polymeric substrate, a cured static dissipative silicone compliant layer, and an outermost surface ceramer layer formed over the cured static dissipative silicone compliant layer, (1) wherein the cured static dissipative silicone compliant layer comprises a crosslinked silicone polymer formed from a UV light curable siloxane comprising ether forming epoxy functionalized polycyclohexane crosslinked silicone and (p-isopropylphenyl)(p-methylphenyl)iodonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate UV photoacid catalyst, (2) wherein the cured static dissipative silicone compliant layer includes inorganic particles of acicular electroconductive oxides present in an amount of at least 15 weight % to 30 weight % of the crosslinked silicone polymer, which electroconductive oxides consist of: the weight ratio of the acicular titanium dioxide particles coated with tin oxide doped with antimony to the acicular electroconductive tin oxide particles doped with antimony is 2.2, and (3) wherein the cured static dissipative silicone compliant layer has a DC volume resistivity in the range of 10 A) epoxycyclohexylethylmethylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymer with 3 to 4 mole % of epoxycyclohexylethylmethylsiloxane, a viscosity of 650 centipoise to 850 centipoise, and a molecular weight of 18,000 to 20,000, and B) epoxycyclohexylethylmethylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymer having 8 to 12 mole % of epoxycyclohexylethylmethylsiloxane, a viscosity of 300 centipoise to 450 centipoise, and a molecular weight of from 10,000 to 12,000, in a weight ratio of 0.36.
