Title:
POLYMER FOAM MANUFACTURING METHOD, MEMBER FOR IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/051967
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a polymer foam preferably used as any kind of members for image forming devices such as a coping machine, facsimile machine, and printer. A gas the solubility of which lowers with temperature is dissolved in a polymer raw material, the polymer raw material is heated, foamed, and cured to produce a polymer foam having a small cell structure on its surface. A member for an image forming device using a poly foam produced by the method and having an excellent surface performance and an image forming device comprising the member are also disclosed.
