A belt having a substrate with a first binder and a lignin sulfonic acid doped polyaniline dispersion, along with an image forming apparatus for forming images on a recording medium and having a charge-retentive surface to receive an electrostatic latent image thereon, a development component to apply toner to the charge-retentive surface to develop the electrostatic latent image to form a developed toner image on the charge retentive surface, a transfer member to transfer the developed image from the charge retentive surface to a copy substrate, and the transfer member has a substrate with a binder and a dispersion of lignin sulfonic acid doped polyaniline, and further, a fixing component to fuse the developed image to the copy substrate.
