Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the reduction of electrification property and to improve durability by using an inorganic pigment and a binding resin in an intermediate layer in specific ratios and maintaining the film thickness within a specific range. CONSTITUTION:In this electrophotographic sensitive body formed an intermediate layer and a photoconductive layer in order on an electroconductive supporting body, the intermediate layer consists of the inorganic pigment P and the binding resin R in ratios of 1/1-3/1 by vol. ratio and the film thickness is from 0.3 to 6mum. If the thickness of the intermediate film is <=0.3mum, it generates pinholes and white patterns on the image since the function does not work well and if >=6.0mum, the flatness of the coated film surface is lost. By this method, the superior electrographic photosensitive body provided with excellent electrifica tion, less dependency to environments and superior durability is obtained.

Any suitable binder resin (R) can be used for the intermediate layer, but considering that a photosensitive layer is coated on top of it with a solvent, it is recommended that the binder resin (R) has high solvent resistance to general organic solvents. Resin is preferred. Examples of such resins include water-soluble resins such as polyvinyl alcohol, casein, and sodium polyacrylate; alcohol-soluble resins such as copolymerized nylon and methoxymethylated nylon; polyurethane,
Examples include curable resins that form a three-dimensional network structure, such as melamine resin and epoxy resin.

Further, as the inorganic pigment (P), it is desirable to use a white color having almost no absorption in visible light and near-infrared light, or something close to this, in view of increasing the sensitivity of the photoreceptor.

Examples of such inorganic pigments include white pigments such as titanium oxide, zinc white, zinc sulfide, white lead, and lithopone, and extender pigments such as alumina, calcium carbonate, and barium sulfate. Particularly in the case of photoreceptors used in laser printers and the like that write images using coherent light such as laser light, it is better to use a white pigment with a high refractive index in order to prevent the occurrence of moiré.

中間層に用いる無機顔料(P)と結着樹脂(R)の比率
P/Rは体積比で171〜3/1の範囲である。
The ratio P/R of the inorganic pigment (P) and the binder resin (R) used in the intermediate layer is in the range of 171 to 3/1 in terms of volume ratio.

When the P/R ratio of the intermediate layer is less than 1, the intermediate layer is influenced by the properties of the binder resin, and in particular, the characteristics of the photoreceptor change with changes in temperature and humidity. Further, when the P/R ratio exceeds 3, the intermediate layer has many voids and air accumulates therein. This becomes bubbles when the light guiding @ layer is applied and dried, causing coating film defects.

1〜6.0pmの範囲に設定することが必要である。
In addition, in the present invention, the thickness of the intermediate layer is 0.3 μff.
It is necessary to set it within the range of 1 to 6.0 pm.

If the thickness of the intermediate layer is less than 0.3 mm, the function of the intermediate layer will not be fully expressed, resulting in pinholes and self-patterning on the image. Also, the thickness of the intermediate layer is 6.0. If it exceeds um, the smoothness of the coated film surface will be lost, the sensitivity of the photoreceptor will be reduced, and the charging property during repeated use will be reduced, which is undesirable. Furthermore, when considering adhesiveness with the photoconductive layer, the film thickness is preferably 5 μm or less.
