Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080234975Methods and systems for evaluating pigment dispersions - Methods and systems for evaluating pigment dispersions with desired characteristics. More specifically, methods and systems for evaluating particle size of colorless or light color dispersions using a novel parameter described as particle size related scattering index (PSRSI).09-25-2008
20090017389Imaging member - The presently disclosed embodiments are directed to charge transport layers useful in electrostatography. More particularly, the embodiments pertain to an improved electrostatographic imaging member having a specific photoreceptor material package comprising a thick conductive undercoat layer, a charge generation layer, a long life charge transport layer, and an optional overcoat layer.01-15-2009
20110024024METHOD OF FABRICATING SUPER FINISHED ITB'S VIA INTERNAL MANDREL FLOW COATING - Provided are apparatuses and methods of making a transfer belt. The method can include providing a hollow mandrel including an interior surface and rotating about a longitudinal axis. The method can also include dispensing a coating liquid through a dispensing tip over the interior surface of the rotating mandrel and using a doctor blade to smooth the coating liquid to form a layer of coating. The method can further include curing the layer of coating to form a seamless belt over the interior surface of the mandrel and releasing the belt from the interior surface of the mandrel, wherein the belt has a thickness uniformity in the range of about 100 nm to about 1 um.02-03-2011

20090214978PHOTORECEPTOR MEMBER - An electrophotographic photoreceptor and method for forming a photoreceptor is disclosed which is provided with an anticorrosion layer on the interface between the supporting substrate surface and the undercoat layer. The photoreceptor has a high mechanical strength and minimizes defects in print for longer periods of time.08-27-2009
20100086866UNDERCOAT LAYERS COMPRISING SILICA MICROSPHERES - The presently disclosed embodiments are directed to an improved imaging member exhibiting little or no plywood print defect comprising an undercoat layer formed from an undercoat layer dispersion comprising silica microspheres, a binder resin and a solvent, and a method for making the undercoat layer.04-08-2010
20100323288PHOTORECEPTOR WITH RELEASE LAYER - The disclosed embodiments are directed to an electrophotographic photoreceptor having a release layer. More particularly, the disclosure relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor having a release layer which comprises an organosilane compound coated over the substrate surface. Other embodiments include methods for coating layer removal using a specifically configured electrophotographic photoreceptor having a release layer and methods for recovering a charge transport molecule.12-23-2010
20110104602GELATIN RELEASE LAYER AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME - The disclosed embodiments are directed to a method for removing photoreceptor coatings from a rigid substrate, wherein the photoreceptor coatings disposed over a substrate of an electrophotographic photoreceptor, in order to recover it for re-use in photoreceptor manufacturing. More specifically, the invention discloses a photoreceptor substrate recovery methodology that includes the creation of an inner release layer over the substrate and followed by subjecting the rejected or used electrophotographic photoreceptor to a step of soaking in a non-toxic and environmentally-friendly stripping solution that separates the coatings from the substrate.05-05-2011
20110104603SILANE RELEASE LAYER AND METHODS FOR USING THE SAME - The disclosed embodiments are directed to processes for removing photoreceptor coatings from a substrate, wherein the photoreceptor coatings disposed over a substrate of an electrophotographic photoreceptor. More specifically, the present embodiments discloses a photoreceptor coatings removal process comprises subjecting an electrophotographic photoreceptor to a stripping solution that separates the coatings from the substrate.05-05-2011
20110151363UNDERCOAT LAYER AND IMAGING MEMBERS COMPRISING SAME - Disclosed are undercoat layers comprising a metal oxide, a polymer, and a citrate of Formula (I):06-23-2011
