Organophotoreceptor with charge transport material having an amino-substituted hydrazone group and an epoxy group

摘要

The present invention provides an organophotoreceptor comprising an electrically conductive substrate and a photoconductive element on the electrically conductive substrate, the photoconductive element comprising: (a) a charge transport material having the formula <CHEM> where R1, R2, R3, and R4 are, independently, an alkyl group, an alkaryl group, an aryl group, or a part of a cyclic group; R5 is hydrogen, an alkyl group, an alkaryl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group; X comprises an aromatic group, such as an aryl group or an aromatic heterocyclic group; Y is a linking group having the formula -(CH2)m-, branched or linear, where m is an integer between 1 and 20, inclusive, and one or more of the methylene groups is optionally replaced Z comprises an epoxy group; and (b) a charge generating compound. <??>Corresponding electrophotographic apparatuses and imaging methods are described.
