ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC MEMBER, ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE RESIN COMPOSITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485843 titled 'ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC MEMBER, ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE RESIN COMPOSITION
The abstract describes an electrophotographic member with a resin layer that is electrically conductive. The resin layer includes a thermoplastic polyester, a cation, an anion without a fluorine atom, and particles containing a metal oxide with a hydrophilization rate of 0.50 or more.
- The electrophotographic member has a resin layer that is electrically conductive.
- The resin layer consists of a thermoplastic polyester, a cation, and an anion without a fluorine atom.
- Particles in the resin layer contain a metal oxide and have a hydrophilization rate of 0.50 or more.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in electrophotographic printing processes. - It may find applications in photocopiers, laser printers, and digital presses.
Problems Solved: - Provides improved electrical conductivity in electrophotographic members. - Enhances the performance and durability of electrophotographic equipment.
Benefits: - Increased efficiency and reliability in electrophotographic processes. - Extended lifespan of electrophotographic equipment.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Electrophotographic Members for Printing Industry This technology can be utilized in the manufacturing of electrophotographic drums, belts, and other components for the printing industry. It can improve the quality and longevity of printing equipment, leading to cost savings for businesses.
Questions about Electrophotographic Members: 1. How does the presence of a metal oxide in the resin layer impact the performance of the electrophotographic member? 2. What are the specific advantages of using a thermoplastic polyester in the resin layer of the electrophotographic member?
Original Abstract Submitted
An electrophotographic member, comprising a resin layer, the resin layer being electrically conductive, and the resin layer comprising: a thermoplastic polyester; a cation; an anion that does not contain a fluorine atom in a molecule of the anion; and a particle containing a metal oxide and having hydrophilization rate of 0.50 or more.
