Abstract:
1. A method for forming an intermediate transfer belt, comprising: forming a liquid coating solution using a method comprising combining a polyamide-imide component comprising a first mixture of about 25 wt % polyamide-imide and about 75 wt % of a first solvent with a carbon nanotube component comprising a second mixture of about 1 wt % carbon nanotubes and about 99 wt % of a second solvent, wherein the polyamide-imide component within the liquid coating solution comprises between about 60 wt % and about 80 wt % of the liquid coating solution and the carbon nanotube component within the liquid coating solution comprises between about 6.0 wt % and about 12.0 wt % of the liquid coating solution; applying the liquid coating solution to a solid substrate; curing the liquid coating solution; and removing the cured liquid coating solution from the solid substrate.
