Abstract
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.
