Abstract

Fluoroelastomer surfaces for fuser members and a method for fusing thermoplastic resin toner images to a substrate using fuser surfaces, including a method for forming these surfaces which includes dissolving a fluoroelastomer; adding an amino silane to form a resulting homogeneous fluoroelastomer solution; and subsequently providing a layer of the homogeneous fluoroelastomer solution to the supporting substrate.
