The method of claim 2 , wherein the liquid composition comprises a ratio of latex/wax/water for about 9/1/1. This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/777,550 filed May 11, 2010, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.The present teachings relate generally to erasable media and, more particularly, to non-sticky erasable media having an overcoat.Conventional reusable or erasable media include a polymeric material that may be imaged using radiation energy. The formed images may be erased by application of heat. Conventional methods for applying heat to erase the images from the conventional erasable media include the use of a heated fuser.In a conventional process, when an imaged erasable paper is fed into a heated fuser assembly for erasing, the paper sheet often adheres to the surface of the fuser roll. This is because the required heating temperature for erasure is significantly higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymeric material forming the reusable media. As a result, the heat used for erasing softens the polymeric material, causing the erasable paper to become sticky and adhere to the fuser roll.The adhering problem may also occur when the erasable media ...

An atmospheric, Laser-based Chemical Vapor Deposition (LCVD) technique provides highly localized deposition of material to mitigate damage sites on an optical component. The same laser beam can be used to deposit material as well as for in-situ annealing of the deposited material. The net result of the LCVD process is in-filling and planarization of a treated site, which produces optically more damage resistant surfaces. Several deposition and annealing steps can be interleaved during a single cycle for more precise control on amount of deposited material as well as for increasing the damage threshold for the deposited material.
