ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC BELT AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055705 titled 'ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC BELT AND ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electrophotographic belt that includes a base layer with a binder resin and carbon black. The binder resin is made of either PEEK or PPS. The water content of the belt is determined to be 0.6% using a specific testing method.
- The electrophotographic belt has a base layer with a binder resin and carbon black.
- The binder resin is made of either PEEK or PPS.
- The water content of the belt is 0.6%.
- The water content is determined using a specific testing method involving temperature changes and humidity exposure.
Potential Applications:
- This electrophotographic belt can be used in various electrophotographic devices such as printers, copiers, and fax machines.
Problems Solved:
- The use of PEEK or PPS as binder resins helps improve the performance and durability of the electrophotographic belt.
- The specific testing method allows for accurate determination of water content, which is important for the quality and reliability of the belt.
Benefits:
- The use of PEEK or PPS as binder resins enhances the overall performance and longevity of the electrophotographic belt.
- Accurate measurement of water content ensures the belt's quality and reliability.
- This technology can lead to improved printing and copying results in electrophotographic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electrophotographic belt includes a base layer containing a binder resin and carbon black in the binder resin. The binder resin contains at least one resin selected from the group consisting of PEEK and PPS. A water content calculated by ((X2−X1)/X2)×100 is 0.6% where X1 is a mass of a specimen cut out of the base layer when in a nitrogen atmosphere a temperature of the specimen is increased from 30° C. to 100° C. at a rate of 20° C./min. and maintained at 100° C. for 30 min, and X2 is a mass of the specimen when in a nitrogen atmosphere the specimen is thereafter cooled from 100° C. to 30° C. at a rate of 20° C./min. and the specimen is left to stand in the air under an environment of a temperature of 23° C. and a relative humidity of 50% for 48 hours.
