Abstract
A fusing member suitable for use as a fuser roller in an electrostatographic fusing apparatus, is made entirely of elastomeric materials and has a smooth surface that can be heated. Such a fuser roller is particularly inexpensive to manufacture, not susceptible to delamination failure, and particularly suitable for use in a fusing apparatus as an externally heated and axially unsupported roller.
