Abstract
A member has a compliancy which changes at elevated temperatures. The member is useful as a fuser member such as a fuser roller for applying heat and pressure to a toner image carried by a receiver to fuse the image without introducing fuser-related image defects. The fuser member includes an elastomeric material incorporating particles of a material which is solid at ambient temperatures but which becomes fluid at fusing temperatures, thus making the elastomeric material more compliant.
