The pultruded member (18) includes a plurality of continuous electroconductive strands (10) embedded in a resin material (12). At least one end of the pultruded member (18) has laser fibrillated strands that are intended to contact a photoreceptive belt (42;Fig. 4).

Abstract: An electrical brush-type surface contact (10) for use in contacting a moving electrically charged surface (16), is formed from a structure (preferably a pultrusion) including a plurality of continuous strand fibers (11) of high electrical resistance, and a thermally stable insulating component (13) between the resistive fibers. The resistive fibers are configured to form a brush extending from the insulating component for contact with the photoreceptor surface. The resistance of the fibers is sufficiently high to reduce leakage of surface charges away from the photoreceptor and to provide a high resistance between adjacent fibers. The insulating component (13), which serves to interface the carbon filaments (11) from each other and from a host polymer (12) may comprise an organic compound, such as a polyimide composition, or may comprise an inorganic compound such as Al₂O₃ or water glass, and is thermally stable below about 1000°C. The host polymer, on the other hand volatilizes rapidly and cleanly upon direct exposure to laser energy.

Abstract: An electrical component is made from an electrically insulating polymer matrix (27) filled with electrically insulating fibrous filler (34) which is capable of heat conversion to electrically conducting fibrous filler (32) and has at least one continuous electrically-conductive path formed in the matrix by the in situ heat conversion of the electrically insulating fibrous filler. In a preferred embodiment, the fibrous filler is thermally stabilized polyacrylonitrile fibers, and the conductive path is formed by in situ heat-converted thermally-stabilized polyacrylonitrile fibers which have been converted by directing a laser beam through a mask having a predetermined pattern to melt the polymer and to convert the thermally-stabilized polyacrylonitrile fibers into their conductive form.
