ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, METHOD OF PRODUCING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, AND APPARATUS OF FORMING ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE
Provided is an electrophotographic photoreceptor including a conductive support, a photosensitive layer, and a surface protective layer disposed in sequence. The surface protective layer includes a cured product of a composition containing a polymerizable compound, a charge transporting material, and at least two polymerization initiators. The polymerization initiators include an acyl phosphine oxide and an O-acyl oxime.
METHOD TO MAKE A PHOTOCONDUCTOR HAVING AN OVERCOAT WITH TETRAFUNCTIONAL RADICAL POLYMERIZABLE CHARGE TRANSPORT MOLECULE
A method to make an improved organic photoconductor drum of an electrophotographic image forming device is provided. The improved organic photoconductor drum is prepared using a curable composition including a charge transport molecule containing four radical polymerizable functional groups of the general structure exemplified below:
##STR00001##
where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 contain a spacer group and a radical polymerizable functional group, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are selected from the group consisting of a radical polymerizable functional group, a non-radical polymerizable functional group, and one each of a radical polymerizable functional group and a non-radial polymerizable functional group, and R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 contain a spacer group and a radical polymerizable functional group.
INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER MEMBER AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Provided is an electrographic photoconductor resistant to surface discharge and having good wear resistance. The electrographic photoconductor has a conductive support and a photosensitive layer disposed on the conductive support, the photosensitive layer containing a charge generation material and a charge transport material. A layer forming the surface of the electrographic photoconductor contains a resin binder forming the layer and a layered carbide dispersed in the resin binder. The layer forming the surface has a light transmittance in the range of 20 to 98% at a wavelength of 350 to 800 nm.
