Claim:
A fuser member comprising a substrate, an outer layer comprising a fluoropolymer, and a release agent material coating on the outer layer, wherein the release agent material coating comprises (a) a blend comprising a mercapto functional release agent having the following formula II: wherein A represents —R 4 —X, wherein R 4 represents an alkyl group having from about 1 to about 10 carbons, X represents —SH; R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and each is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl having from about 1 to about 25 carbons, an aryl having from about 4 to about 10 carbons, and an arylalkyl; R 3 is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl having from about 1 to about 25 carbons, an aryl having from about 4 to about 10 carbons, an arylalkyl, and a substituted diorganosiloxane chain having from about 1 to about 500 siloxane units; b and c are numbers and are the same or different and each satisfy the conditions of 1≦b≦10 and 10≦c≦1,000; d and d′ are numbers and are the same or different and are 2 or 3, and e and e′ are numbers and are the same or different and are 0 or 1 and satisfy the conditions that d+e=3 and d′+e′=3 and (b) a fluorinated silicone release agent having the following Formula I: wherein m is a number of from about 0 to about 25 and n is a number of from about 1 to about 25; x/(x+y) is from about 1 percent to about 100 percent; R 1 and R 2 are selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, and alkylamino groups; and R 3 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, alkylamino, a polyorganosiloxane, and a fluoro-chain of the formula —(CH 2 ) o —(CF 2 ) p —CF 3 wherein o is a number of from about 0 to about 25 and p is a number of from about 1 to about 25.
