Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein is a method of forming a seamless transfer member suitable for use with an image forming system. The method includes spray coating a UV curable polymer and conductive particles onto an inner surface of a rotating cylindrical mandrel. The UV curable polymer is cured with ultra violet energy. The cured UV polymer is removed from the cylindrical rotatable mandrel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a seamless transfer member suitable for use with an image forming system, comprising: spray coating a mixture consisting of: a liquid ultra violet (UV) curable polymer; and carbon nanotubes in a dispersant, onto an inner surface of a rotating cylindrical mandrel, wherein the inner surface of the mandrel has a R a roughness of from about 0.01 microns to about 1.0 microns, wherein the liquid UV curable polymer is selected from the group co…
