Patent ID: 8426026

Claim:
An intermediate transfer member comprising: a substrate; and an outermost layer disposed over the substrate and an adhesive layer between the substrate and the outermost layer, wherein the outermost layer comprises a fluoroplastic matrix and a plurality of fluoroelastomer-coated carbon nanotubes dispersed in the fluoroplastic matrix, wherein each of the plurality of fluoroelastomer-coated carbon nanotubes comprises a carbon nanotube surrounded by a fluoroelastomer shell, each of the plurality of fluoroelastomer-coated carbon nanotubes comprising a fluoroelastomer present in an amount ranging from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of the total fluoroplastic matrix, wherein the outermost layer has a surface resistivity ranging from about 10 9 ohms/sq to about 10 13 ohms/sq, and wherein the Young's modulus of the outermost layer is adjusted to be at least about 2000 MPa.
