Abstract:
1. An intermediate transfer member consisting of a supporting substrate, a polymer layer consisting of a polyimide polysiloxane that possesses a weight average molecular weight of from about 20,000 to about 300,000, a conductive component of a polyaniline present in an amount of from about 1 to about 40 percent by weight based on the weight of total solids, a polymer selected from the group consisting of a polycarbonate, a polyamidimide, a polyphenylene sulfide, a polyamide, a polysulfone, a polyester, a polyvinylidene fluoride, a polyethylene-co-polytetrafluoroethylene, and mixtures thereof present in an amount of from about 70 to about 90 weight percent based on the weight of total solids and an outer release layer positioned on said polymer layer, wherein said release layer is selected from the group consisting of a poly(vinyl chloride), a fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer, a polytetrafluoroethylene, a polyfluoroalkoxy polytetrafluoroethylene, a fluorosilicone, a copolymer or terpolymer of vinylidenefluoride, hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene, and mixtures thereof and an optional adhesive layer situated between the substrate and the outer release layer.
