<p>A fusing assembly for use in an electrostatographic imaging apparatus includes a release agent donor member having a conformable donor surface comprising the crosslinked product of at least one addition curable vinyl terminated or vinyl pendant polyorganosiloxane having the formula: <IMAGE> where A,B and R are methyl or vinyl provided the vinyl functionality is at least 2, 0<s/r</=1,350<r+2<2700, a polyfunctional silicone hydride crosslinking agent, a crosslinking catalyst and finely divided filler. In a preferred embodiment the conformable donor surface comprises a rotatable cylindrical roll with a high coefficient of friction which is rotatably driven by frictional contact with a positively driven fuser roll. The release agent may be supplied from a sump by a release agent metering roll.</p> |
