Abstract
There is disclosed a coating method for a substrate having an end region comprising: (a) rubbing a nonwetting material across the end region to adhere the nonwetting material to the end region; and (b) contacting a portion of the substrate including the end region with a coating composition, whereby the coating composition adheres to the substrate surface free of the nonwetting material and the nonwetting material minimizes adherence of the coating composition to the end region.
Claims9
A coating method for fabricating a photosensitive member including a hollow cylindrically-shaped substrate defining a center region between a first end region and a second end region comprising:
- (a) adhering a nonwetting material to the first end region;
- and
- (b) sequentially dip coating the center region and the first end region in at least two coating compositions comprising materials for different layers of the photosensitive member wherein the nonwetting material fails to dissolve in each of the at least two coating compositions, wherein each of the at least two coating compositions adheres to the center region which is free of the nonwetting material and the nonwetting material minimizes adherence of each of the at least two coating compositions to the first end region, wherein there is absent a step subsequent to (b) of removing the nonwetting material from the first end region.
