Abstract

Molecularly doped polymers are widely used in copiers and printers. During the imaging process, toner particles and the cleaning blade wear the photoconductor drum as it rotates. This paper quantizes the abrasive wear of molecularly doped polycarbonate coatings. No clear correlation is found between the wear rate and measured mechanical properties. The surface topography is dominated by a series of parallel grooves with a spacing of approximately 0.1 pm.
