    摘要: Illustrated herein is a process for producing a stress relief electrostatographic imaging member web stock comprising: providing a multilayered imaging member web stock including at least one layer to be treated, the at least one layer to be treated having a coefficient of thermal expansion significantly differing from a coefficient of thermal expansion of another layer; passing the multilayered web stock over and making contact with a circular treatment tube having an outer concave arcuate circumferential surface that spontaneously creates a transverse web stock stretching force to offset the ripple causing transversal compression force in the at least one layer to be treated; heating at least one layer to be treated above the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the at least one layer to be treated to thereby create a heated portion of the at least one layer to be treated, a portion of the web stock in proximity to the heated portion of the at least one layer to be treated thereby becoming a heated portion of the web stock; inducing curvature conformance in the heated portion of the web stock; and, cooling the heated portion of the web stock at said curvature to a temperature below the Tg of the layer. Also included is the stress relieved imaging member web stock produced by this process.
