Fuser members with an outermost layer of a fluorinated diamond like carbon

摘要

The present invention provides a fuser member having a substrate and an outermost layer of a fluorinated diamond like carbon wherein the fluorine content of the surface of said layer is between about 20 and 65 atomic percent based on the total amount of fluorine, carbon and oxygen in said surface. The fuser member is characterized in that the outermost layer provides for excellent release of the toner.
