The process for synthesizing the unsymmetrical squaraine composition comprises forming a mixture comprising squaric acid, a long chain primary alcohol, a first tertiary amine, and a second tertiary aromatic amine different from the first tertiary aromatic amine, and heating the mixture in vacuo below the boiling points of the primary alcohol, the first tertiary amine and the second tertiary aromatic amine to form an unsymmetrical squaraine composition. The novel unsymmetrical squaraine composition synthesized by this process may be used in electrostatographic imaging members comprising a supporting substrate and a photoconductive layer comprising the novel unsymmetrical squaraine composition. These electrostatographic imaging members may be utilized in an electrostatographic imaging processes.

摘要:
Disclosed is an imaging method based upon the selective exposure of a select pair of photoactive materials to actinic radiation. According to this method, charge exchange between materials of a photosensitive mixture results in the selective decomposition of one of the components of said mixture. In the event that the above materials are dispersed within a polymeric film, the selective decomposition of one of these dispersed components will be manifest by changes induced in the polymeric film. Such changes in the characteristic properties of the film will, of course, vary depending upon the content of the dispersed photosensitive components in the film and the extent of decomposition of one of said materials.

An imaging method utilizing an imaging member containing a supporting substrate, a layer of a charge carrier injecting surface, a hole blocking layer, an optional adhesive layer, a layer of a charge carrier transport material, a layer of an charge carrier generating material, an optional charge trapping layer, a crossed linked silicone rubber, and an electrically insulating overcoating layer. The member is first charged with electrostatic charges of a first polarity, charged a second time with electrostatic charges of a polarity opposite to said first polarity in order to substantially neutralize the charges residing on the electrically insulating surface of the member and exposed to an imagewise pattern of activating electromagnetic radiation whereby an electrostatic latent image is formed. The electrostatic latent image may be developed to form a visible image which may be transferred to a receiver member. The imaging member may be reused after erasure and cleaning.
