Abstract
A fuser member suited to use in a fusing apparatus of an electrostatographic image rendering device includes a substrate and an outer layer over the substrate. The outer layer includes a matrix material and filler particles dispersed in the matrix material. At least some of the filler particles are formed from diamond, which may provide improved wear of the fuser member and may also provide the layer with improved thermal conductivity.
