Xerox process

PAH chemistry is of practical as well as theoretical interest. PAHs can be regarded as well defined subunits of graphite, an important industrial material, which is so far not totally understood at the macroscopic level. In this context, it is our aim to delineate the molecular size at which the electronic properties of PAHs converge to those of graphite. Furthermore, alkyl substituted derivatives of hexabenzocoronene (HBC) form discotic mesophases and, therefore, provide opportunities for materials which allow one-dimensional transport processes along their columnar axis [83,84]. Their application for photovoltaics and Xerox processes is also of current interest. 

Alex Rosenberg Why isn t there a transfer of material in photocopying If we think about the process of photocopying, it doesn t look as though the, say, semi-conservative character of DNA copying, is a physically different process in kind for the electrostatic planting involved in say, Xerox machines. 

Electrophotography is the correct technical name for the non-impact electrostatic printing processes, which include photocopying, also commonly called xerography because of the company that developed the original systems (Xerox), and laser printing. ... 

Xerox first introduced benchmarking in 1979. Initially, it was used to compare the unit manufacturing costs and the features available in their copying machines with those from competitor companies. The process was expanded into a philosophy for ongoing improvement...

In early copiers, deposition of the toner particles onto the photoreceptor surface was accomplished simply bv cascading the particles over the photoreceptor surface. Cascade development was first described by Walkup (1952) and used in all earl) Xerox copiers. Figure 15 shows a cascade development process. Carriers for cascade development were usually glass or metal beads with diameters of several hundred pm. The limitations of cascade development... 

Greek for dry (xeros) and writing (graphos). The process was invented in 1938 and patented in 1940 by Chester F. Carlson and involves several different physical phenomena. At the time the invention was first made these processes were poorly understood and the first demonstration copies were not of the quality we are used to today. Carlson demonstrated his invention to twenty American companies and generated an enthusiastic lack of interest . Nevertheless, development was undertaken initially by the Battelle Memorial Institute and subsequently by the Haloid Company, now known as the Xerox Corporation. The first commercial xerographic copier appeared on the market in 1959 and is today a worldwide multi-billion pound industry.

Kodak Corporation was offered and turned down both the xerographic process and the instant camera. Consequently, Kodak lost their copy market to the newly formed Xerox Corporation. They gained a formidable competitor in the photographic business from the newly formed Polaroid Corporation. Now both of these corporations. Xerox and Polaroid, are them selves having problems because they did not keep up with the changing times in their respective industries.
