Abstract:
1. A method for preparing a coating for a fuser member, comprising: admixing a plurality of fluoropolymer chains, a plurality of basic metal oxide particles, and a plurality of organic grafts in a solvent to make an admixture, wherein each of the plurality of organic grafts comprises a phenol end group, a linking group, and at least one silane end group; reacting the phenol end groups of the organic grafts with the plurality of fluoropolymer chains to form a silane functionalized fluoropolymer in the admixture; filtering the admixture of the silane functionalized fluoropolymer with solvent and basic metal oxides to remove the plurality of basic metal oxide particles and make a filtered polymer composition; coating the filtered polymer composition onto a fuser member; and heating the filtered polymer composition to form a siloxane crosslinked fluoroelastomer.
