摘要:
An electrophotographic photoconductor including: a conductive substrate; and at least a photoconductive layer on the conductive substrate, wherein an uppermost surface layer of the photoconductive layer includes a three-dimensionally crosslinked film formed through polymerization among compounds each containing a charge transporting compound and three or more [(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy]methyl groups where the charge transporting compound has one or more aromatic rings and the [(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy]methyl groups are bound to the aromatic rings of the charge transporting compound, wherein the polymerization starts after some of the [(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy]methyl groups have been partially cleaved and eliminated, and wherein the three-dimensionally crosslinked film has an ionization potential of 5.4 or higher.

An electrophotographic photosensitive member improved in cleaning performance and having a good image reproducibility, even in its long-term service, and a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus which have the electrophotographic photosensitive member are provided. The electrophotographic photosensitive member has, on the surface of its photosensitive layer, has a plurality of depressed portions which are independent from one another, and, where the major-axis diameter of each depressed portion is represented by Rpc and the depth that shows the distance between the deepest part of each depressed portion and the opening thereof is represented by Rdv, the depressed portions each have a ratio of depth to major-axis diameter, Rdv/Rpc, of from more than 1.0 to 7.0 or less.
