| 20080274420 | ADHESION PROMOTER - An adhesion promoter for a hot melt adhesive or a pressure sensitive adhesive prepared by admixing a silane composition with an aqueous buffer solution, where the silane composition includes at least two silane compounds. The adhesive is able to bind at very low surface free energy substrates, such as Xerographic prints contaminated by silicone fuser oil. The hot melt adhesive maintains a substantially stable viscosity at temperature ranging from about | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090062464 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR PREPARING ADHESIVE-PROMOTER-TREATED HOT MELT ADHESIVES IN CONTINUOUS MODE - Methods, apparatuses, and systems for manufacturing a hot melt adhesive containing an adhesion promoter in a continuous mode include supplying a melted, hot melt adhesive to a mixing device at a first predetermined rate while simultaneously supplying an adhesion promoter to the same mixing device at a second predetermined rate to form a homogeneous admixture containing the hot melt adhesive and adhesion promoter. The hot melt adhesive/adhesion promoter mixture is subsequently reacted in at least one tubular reactor at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined residence time to allow the adhesion promoter to chemically bond with the hot melt adhesive and form an adhesive-promoter-treated hot melt adhesive. The adhesion-promoter-treated hot melt adhesive is collected in a product receiver and may be further processed. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090117340 | Substrate, system and method for magnetic ink character recognition encoding - A document comprising a substrate with a surface having cellulose hydroxy groups, an adhesion promoter present on at least a first portion of the substrate surface, and a magnetic ink image formed over the first portion of the substrate surface. The adhesion promoter comprises a silane component including at least one amino functional group and at least one of a second type of functional group that is configured to bond with cellulose hydroxyl groups in the substrate. The magnetic ink image has a magnetic signal strength of at least 80%. A corresponding printing system and a method of printing also are disclosed. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090184157 | USE OF SILANE PROMOTER TO MODIFY PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE FOR USE IN PRESSURE SEAL MAILERS PRINTED ON IGEN3 - Exemplary embodiments provide a pressure-seal cohesive and method for making and using the pressure-seal cohesive to form mailer type business forms. The disclosed pressure-seal cohesive can provide an improved cohesive sealing of the mailer forms. In particular, the pressure-seal cohesive can include at least one silane promoter admixed with at least one aqueous pressure sensitive compound formulation that contains pressure sensitive cohesive and/or adhesive compounds. The admixed silane promoter can have a concentration ranging from about 0.5% to about 2.5% weight percent of the pressure-seal cohesive to improve the compatibility of the pressure sensitive compounds, even if they are contaminated by the fuser oils (e.g., functionalized PDMS oil) during digital printing processes (e.g., on Xerox iGen3). | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100112315 | LAMINATING FILM AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - A laminating film and methods of use with xerographic prints. The laminating film comprises an adhesion promoter comprising a hydrolytic silane compound that imparts improved adhesion and which can be used in laminating applications conducted at high and as well as low temperature ranges. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100196682 | METHOD FOR PAPER TREATMENT - A surface treatment method of oil contaminated xerographic prints which increases the surface energy of the print to levels close to the values corresponding to the original uncontaminated paper. Subjecting the contaminated surface to both ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone can change the chemical structure of the surface of the paper in such a way that a highly polar surface is created as a consequence of this treatment, leading to enhanced adhesion properties of the xerographic print. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100196819 | METHOD FOR PAPER TREATMENT - Provided herein is a surface treatment method of oil contaminated xerographic prints which increases the adhesion of the print to levels close to the values corresponding to the original uncontaminated paper. Subjecting the contaminated surface to corona treatment alone and in combination with ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone can change the chemical structure of the surface of the paper in such a way that a highly polar surface is created as a consequence of this treatment, leading to enhanced adhesion properties of the xerographic print. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100233494 | SELF-RELEASING NANOPARTICLE FILLERS IN FUSING MEMBERS - In accordance with the invention, there are fuser subsystems including a fuser member and methods of making a member of the fuser subsystems. The fuser member can include a substrate and a top-coat layer disposed over the substrate, the top-coat layer including a plurality of fluorinated nanoparticles substantially uniformly dispersed throughout a bulk of a fluoropolymer to provide a continual self-releasing surface to the top-coat layer. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100286327 | FUSER MEMBER HAVING COMPOSITE OUTER LAYER - Exemplary embodiments provide composite materials used for fixing members that can include silsesquioxane-based particles and/or carbon nanotubes dispersed in a polymer matrix. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110070414 | BONDED ARTICLE WITH NANOSCOPIC DENDRIMERS AND METHOD OF PREPARING SAME - Exemplary embodiments provide materials and methods for bonded articles using dendrimers for facilitating adhesion between an adhesive and a substrate with low surface free energy. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110142508 | FUSER MEMBER - The present teachings provide a fuser member, including a substrate and a release layer disposed on the substrate. The release layer includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes surrounded by a fluoroelastomeric shell layer and dispersed in a fluoroplastic. | 06-16-2011 |
