摘要:
A silicone overcoat (SOC) layer having a crosslinked polysiloxane composition comprising a perfluoropolyether segment are disclosed. The polysiloxane composition is the product of the hydrolysis and condensation of a SOC formulation comprising a perfluoropolyether compound, an aromatic silicon-containing compound, and a silicon-containing hole transport compound. An electrophotographic imaging member having such a SOC layer has improved properties.
摘要:
A process of treating metal oxide nanoparticles that includes mixing metal oxide nanoparticles, a solvent, and a surface treatment agent that is preferably a silane or siloxane is described. The treated metal oxide nanoparticles are rendered hydrophobic by the surface treatment agent being surface attached thereto, and are preferably dispersed in a hydrophobic aromatic polymer binder of a charge transport layer of a photoreceptor, whereby π—π interactions can be formed between the organic moieties on the surface of the nanoparticles and the aromatic components of the binder polymer to achieve a stable dispersion of the nanoparticles in the polymer that is substantially free of large sized agglomerations.

A crosslinked siloxane composite overcoat for electrophotographic photoreceptors, containing at least one siloxane-containing compound, a resin and metal oxide particles; photoreceptors containing the crosslinked siloxane composite overcoat; and image process cartridge and image forming apparatuses containing photoreceptors containing the crosslinked siloxane composite overcoat.
摘要:
An aromatic silicon-containing compound has the formula: Ar—[X-L-SiRn(OR′)3-n]m where Ar represents an aromatic group, X represents a divalent or trivalent group; L represents a divalent linking group; R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group; R′ represents an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; n is an integer of from 0 to 2; and m is an integer of from 1 to 5. The aromatic silicon-containing compound can be used in electrophotographic photoreceptors, particularly in outmost protective layers of such electrophotographic photoreceptors.

The presently disclosed embodiments are directed to charge transport layers useful in electrostatography. More particularly, the embodiments pertain to an improved imaging member having a charge transport layer comprising a top layer and a bottom layer, wherein the layers have varying concentrations of high quality N,N,N′N′-tetra(4-methylphenyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine to provide tunable discharge rate.
摘要:
The presently disclosed embodiments are directed to an imaging member having an outermost layer formulation that includes wax particles which creates a rough surface morphology for the layer and imparts increased scratch resistance, reduced torque, and improved cleaning performance to the layer. In embodiments, the outermost layer is an overcoat layer used for an improved imaging member having a substrate, a charge transport layer, and an overcoat positioned on the charge transport layer.

A photoreceptor with a substrate, a charge generating layer, a charge transport layer including N,N,N′N′-tetra(4-methylphenyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine, having a purity of from about 95 percent to about 100 percent, and a protective overcoating layer, optionally including a hole transport material other than N,N,N′N′-tetra(4-methylphenyl)-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine, that will discharge from about 85% to about 100% of its surface potential in from 0 to about 40 milliseconds upon being subjected to xerographic charging and exposure to radiant energy of from about 1 erg/cm2 to about 5 ergs/cm2.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus comprising an electrophotographic photoreceptor, a charging unit, an exposure unit, a development unit, and a transfer unit, wherein the image forming apparatus conducts charging, exposure, development, and transfer while moving a circumferential surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor in a predetermined direction, the image forming apparatus further comprises a controlling unit which controls a moving velocity of the circumferential surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor so that a time required for processes from charging to development is changeable, the electrophotographic photoreceptor includes an undercoat layer and a photosensitive layer, and the undercoat layer includes a metal oxide particle and an acceptor compound having a group capable of reacting with the metal oxide particle.
摘要:
Provided are a silane-phenol compound, a crosslinked siloxane-phenolic protective overcoat layer thereof, and an electrophotographic imaging member such as photoreceptor. The silane-phenol compound comprises (i) a phenol group and (ii) a silane group selected from the group consisting of alkoxysilyl, arylalkoxysilyl, aryloxysilyl, alkylaryloxysilyl, and combination thereof. The silicone overcoat is made from a formulation comprising the silane-phenol compound and a hydroxymethylated hole transport compound. The crosslinked siloxane-phenolic overcoat may be used to manufacture an electrophotographic imaging member such as photoreceptor with improved properties such as abrasive resistance, good image quality and cleanability, etc.
