An intermediate medium for transferring a toner image from an imaging medium to a final receiving material

摘要

An intermediate medium for use as a temporary image supporting in an imaging device, comprising a support provided with a rubber top layer which contains a rubber and conductive material and is formed by polymerisation of a rubber oil in the presence of the conductive material. As conductive material, the top layer contains an intrinsically conductive polymer so modified that it can be combined with the rubber oil used as the starting material. This results in high miscibility of the polymer in the rubber oil so that the conductivity of the rubber is high. The conductivity of the top layer can thus be adjusted to the correct level while curing of the rubber oil with UV radiation is still possible. The invention also relates to an imaging device provided with an intermediate medium of this kind, and also a compound for forming the rubber top layer. <IMAGE>
