Abstract

A contact brush charging device together with a method for charging an insulating layer are provided wherein the charging brush comprises a plurality of resiliently, flexible thin fibers having an electrical resistivity of from about 102 ohms-cm to about 106 ohms-cm and being substantially resistivity stable to changes in relative humidity and temperature. In a preferred embodiment the plurality of fibers are arranged in a uniform distribution of fibers along the length of the brush and comprise partially carbonized polyacrylonitrile fibers having an electrical resistivity from about 103 ohms-cm to about 105 ohms-cm and being substantially homogeneous in composition.
