SILICON-CONTAINING LAYERS FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTORS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Silicon-containing layers for electrophotographic photoreceptors which ha ve high mechanical strength, improved electrophotographic characteristics and improved image deletion characteristics even under conditions of high temperature and high humidity are provided. Such silicon-containing layers include silicon- containing compounds, which may be crosslinked, and siloxane-containing antioxidants th at can be selected from hindered phenol antioxidants, hindered amine antioxidants, thioether antioxidants and phosphite antioxidants. Electrophotographic photoreceptors and electrophotographic imaging apparatuses containing such silicon-containing layers are also provided.
