ABSTRACT:
A toner fuser belt for use with electrophotographic apparatus including a thermally conductive substrate through which heat is applied; and a toner release layer formed over the substrate; and including an aliphatic cross-linked polyurethane which is stable at fusing temperatures and wherein the aliphatic cross-linked polyurethane is selected to provide good adhesion to the substrate, inorganic material selected to increase toner fuser belt durability and being in an amount 20 to 60 percent by volume of the toner release layer, and a lubricant which reduces surface energy to thereby promote toner release of the toner release layer.
