Abstract

A process for producing a fuser member coating including a) adding and reacting a fluoroelastomer, a crosslinking agent, a polar solvent, a fluorine-containing additive, and a deflocculant to form a coating solution, and b) providing the coating solution on the fuser member to form a fuser member coating, wherein the fluorine-containing additive includes pendant fluorinated groups.
