Disclosed are fuser members, apparatus and methods which employ
compositions that can be varied to provide a fused toner image with a
selected gloss level. In embodiments, the apparatus and methods employ a
fusing member having an outer contact surface thereon which contacts a
previously fused toner image under conditions of elevated temperature and
pressure. The contact surface has a Gardner G60 gloss of up to about 35
and is comprised of a fluorocarbon thermoplastic random copolymer
co-cured with a fluorinated resin, such as polyfluoroethylenepropylene
(FEP). In embodiments, the contact surface comprises a fluorocarbon
thermoplastic random copolymer co-cured with a fluorinated resin
including subunits of: --(CH2 CF2)x-, --(CF2CF(CF3))y-, and --(CF2
CF2)z-, wherein: x is from 1 to 50 or 60 to 80 mole percent, y is from
10 to 89 mole percent, z is from 10 to 89 mole percent, and x+y+z equals
100 mole percent.
