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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18334465 titled 'FIXING FILM, HEAT FIXING APPARATUS, AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a fixing film with an endless shape that consists of a base material, an elastic layer, and a release layer. The release layer contains a tube filled with a fluorine resin, and the value of Xe to Xm is 1.20 or higher. 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 is composed of a base material, an elastic layer, and a release layer containing a tube with a fluorine resin.
  • The X-ray diffraction peaks of the release layer are measured using a reflection X-ray diffraction method.
  • The maximum X-ray diffraction strength at 2θ=17 to 19° is defined as Ic, and the maximum X-ray diffraction strength at 2θ=39.5 to 40.5° is defined as Ia.
  • The value of Ic/Ia is defined as X, and Xe represents the average value of X in an edge region, while Xm represents the average value of X in a central region.

Potential Applications:

  • This fixing film can be used in various industries where adhesion and release properties are required, such as packaging, printing, and manufacturing.
  • It can be applied as a protective layer for electronic devices, preventing scratches and enhancing durability.

Problems Solved:

  • The fixing film provides excellent adhesion and release properties due to the presence of the fluorine resin in the release layer.
  • The X-ray diffraction measurements allow for precise characterization of the film's structure and properties.

Benefits:

  • The film's endless shape allows for easy application and customization to different sizes and shapes.
  • The fluorine resin in the release layer provides superior release properties, reducing the risk of damage or residue when removing the film.
  • The X-ray diffraction method enables accurate measurement and control of the film's structure, ensuring consistent performance.


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 2θ=17 to 19° is defined as Ic, a maximum X-ray diffraction strength at 2θ=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.
