A process for fabricating a substrate includes the steps of (a) immersing a molding article having an electrically conductive molding surface in an electrodeposition liquid comprising polymer particles and a nucleating material; (b) electrodepositing a coating on the molding article; and (c) coalescing the coating to form a substrate containing the nucleating material. The process may further include exposing the substrate to an electroless metal plating bath to form a metal layer on the substrate. A process for fabricating an electrostatographic imaging member includes electrolessly depositing metal on a substrate. A process for fabricating a belt comprises electrolessly depositing metal on an endless substrate. An electrostatographic imaging member comprises a substrate including polymer and nucleating material and a metal layer. An endless belt includes polymer and nucleating material.

Substrates, belts and electrostatographic imaging members, and methods

Solvent-developed negative charge-sensitized migration images exhibit visibly-reduced background when the developing solvent contains an effective amount of certain surface active agents.

Migration imaging with surfactant-modified solvent development

A system which transforms a liquid crystal composition having a mixture of cholesteric liquid crystal or other optically active materials and nematic liquid crystal materials from an electrically induced dynamic scattering state into an aligned nematic state by changing variables of an applied electrical field, and an imaging system wherein such a liquid crystal member is imaged in a desired image configuration by such an electrical field-induced transition system. Such systems exhibit high optical contrast and may be viewed without the aid of light polarizing devices.
