Abstract

A bias transfer member including a peripheral surface having low surface energy is disclosed. The low surface energy provides improved cleanability for enhancing the electrostatographic process and increasing the life of the bias transfer member. A low surface energy layer is provided by plasma fluorination to chemically modify the makeup of the surface material or by coating to form a low surface energy layer on the bias transfer member.
