Summary:This invention relates to fuser members useful for heat-fixing a heat-softenable toner material to a substrate. More particularly, the invention relates to materials usable as a toner release layer in a fuser member. A fuser member comprising a core and a layer overlying the core, the layer including a cured fluorocarbon random copolymer having subunits of:wherein x is from 30 to 90 mole percent,y is from 10 to 70 mole percent,z is from 0 to 34 mole percent; andx+y+z equals 100 mole percent;the layer further including particulate filler having zinc oxide and yellow iron oxide.
