==FIXING FILM, HEAT FIXING APPARATUS, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045359 titled 'FIXING FILM, HEAT FIXING APPARATUS, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a fixing film with an endless shape, consisting of a base material, an elastic layer, and a release layer. The release layer contains a tube filled with a fluorine resin, and the ratio of xe to xm is 1.20 or higher. The x-ray diffraction peaks of the release layer show a maximum strength at 2θ=17 to 19° (ic) and at 2θ=39.5 to 40.5° (ia). The ratio of ic to ia is defined as x. xe represents the average value of x in an edge region, while xm represents the average value of x in a central region.

* The fixing film has an endless shape and is composed of a base material, an elastic layer, and a release layer containing a tube filled with a fluorine resin.
* The ratio of xe to xm is 1.20 or higher, indicating a higher concentration of x in the edge region compared to the central region.
* The x-ray diffraction peaks of the release layer show maximum strengths at specific angles (2θ=17 to 19° and 2θ=39.5 to 40.5°), which are defined as ic and ia, respectively.
* The ratio of ic to ia (x) provides information about the crystalline structure of the release layer.

Potential Applications:
* This fixing film could be used in various industries that require a strong and durable adhesive, such as automotive, construction, and electronics.
* It can be applied as a protective layer for surfaces that need to withstand high temperatures, chemicals, or wear and tear.

Problems Solved:
* The fixing film provides improved adhesion and durability due to the presence of the fluorine resin in the release layer.
* The specific composition and structure of the release layer enhance the film's performance and reliability.

Benefits:
* The endless shape of the fixing film allows for easy application and customization to different surfaces and shapes.
* The fluorine resin in the release layer provides excellent release properties, making it easier to remove the film without leaving residue.
* The high ratio of xe to xm and the specific x-ray diffraction peaks indicate a well-controlled and optimized crystalline structure, resulting in improved performance and stability of the fixing film.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a fixing film having an endless shape, comprising at least a base material, an elastic layer, and a release layer in this order, the release layer comprising a tube containing a fluorine resin, and a value of xe to xm is 1.20 or more, where when, in a chart of an x-ray diffraction peaks obtained by measuring the release layer with a reflection x-ray diffraction method, a maximum x-ray diffraction strength at 2�=17 to 19� is defined as ic, a maximum x-ray diffraction strength at 2�=39.5 to 40.5� is defined as ia, and a value of ic/ia is defined as x, xe represents an average value of x in an edge region, and xm represents an average value of x in a central region.
