ABSTRACT:
A method of making a fuser member having a support comprising the steps of:A) providing a support;B) coating from an organic solvent onto the support a coating composition comprising a fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer, a curing agent having a bisphenol residue, a particulate filler containing zinc oxide, an aminosiloxane, and antimony-doped tin oxide particles, the fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer having subunits of:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?—(CH2CF2)x—, —(CF2CF(CF3)y—, and —(CF2CF2)z—,in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?whereinx is from 1 to 50 or 60 to 80 mole percent,y is from 10 to 90 mole percent,z is from 10 to 90 mole percent,x+y+z equals 100 mole percent; andC) curing the coating composition for 5 to 10 hours at a temperature in the range of 25° C. to 275° C.
