Abstract
A mechanical damage resistant member, e.g. a leading edge sheath for a propeller blade, comprises a substrate made of electrically conductive rubber or rubber-like material which has had an electrically conductive material layer, e.g. a layer of metal powder, pressed into its surface while the rubber is cured, the substrate then being electro-plated over the conductive layer. This method of electro-plating rubber and rubber-like material has general application, i.e. not just in relation to the described damage resistant member.
