Organophotoreceptor with a charge transport compound having an epoxy group

摘要

This invention relates to a novel organophotoreceptor that comprises an electrically conductive substrate and photoconductive element on the electrically conductive substrate, the photoconductive element having a) a charge transport compound having the formula R₁ is an aromatic group, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, or a heterocyclic group; R₂ comprises an (N,N-disubstituted)arylamine group; R₃ comprises an epoxy group; R₄ is H, an aromatic group, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, or a heterocyclic group; and X is a first linking group; and (b) a charge generating compound. The epoxy group can be reacted with a functional group within the polymer to form a polymeric charge transport compound either directly or through a crosslinking agent. Corresponding electrophotographic apparatuses and imaging methods are also described.
