A polyarylate resin includes at least one type of repeating unit represented by a general formula (1), at least one type of repeating unit represented by a general formula (2), and a terminal group represented by a general formula (3). R1, R2, R3, and R4 each represent, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. R5 and R6 each represent, independently of each other, a hydrogen atom or a C1-4 alkyl group. R5 and R6 may bond together to represent a C5-7 cycloalkylidene group. X1 represents a divalent group represented by a chemical formula (2A), (2B), (2C), or (2D) with the proviso that when only one type of repeating unit represented by the general formula (2) is included, X1 does not represent a divalent group represented by the chemical formula (2D). Rf represents a chain aliphatic group having at least one fluoro group.

The photoconductor includes a conductive support, a photosensitive layer, and a protective layer. The protective layer is a polymer of a radical-polymerizable composition containing a perfluoropolyether compound including a radical-polymerizable functional group, a radical-polymerizable monomer including a radical-polymerizable functional group, and an inorganic fine particle including a radical-polymerizable functional group. The radical-polymerizable functional group of the perfluoropolyether compound is different from the radical-polymerizable functional group of the radical-polymerizable monomer and identical to the radical-polymerizable functional group of the inorganic fine particle.

An electrophotographic photosensitive member includes a conductive base and a single-layer-type photosensitive layer on the conductive base. The photosensitive layer contains a binder resin, a charge generation material, a hole transport material, a fluorine-atom-containing electron transport material, and fluorine-atom-containing resin particles.

摘要:
The present teachings describe a process of forming a charge transport layer (CTL) coating dispersion. The process includes mixing a surfactant and a first organic solvent until the surfactant is completely solubilized. Fluoroplastic particles are added to the solubilized surfactant and first organic solvent while mixing to form a slurry. The slurry includes a particulate solid content of from about 5 weight percent to about 60 weight percent. The process includes mixing a base solution that includes a charge transport material, a binder, an antioxidant and a second organic solvent. The base solution is added to the slurry while mixing to form a CTL pre-mix dispersion.

The present invention provides a method of producing an electrophotographic photosensitive member using a dispersion solution that shows high liquid stability in long-period storage and hardly causes aggregation of charge-transporting pigment particles during drying a coating. The method of producing an electrophotographic photosensitive member having a charge-transporting layer comprises a step of forming a coating film by applying a dispersion solution comprising polyolefin polymer particles and charge-transporting pigment particles as dispersoids and comprising a dispersion medium, and then forming the charge-transporting layer by heating the coating film and melting the polyolefin polymer particles, wherein the particles consisting of the polyolefin polymer particles and the charge-transporting pigment particles in the dispersion solution have a number average particle diameter of 50 nm or more and 300 nm or less and a degree of dispersion (standard deviation/number average particle diameter) of 1.0 or less.
