[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a damp-resistant electrophotographic photoreceptor having a surface layer made of a polymer having a fluorine-containing aliphatic ring structure. [Prior Art] Inorganic materials have been used as electrophotographic photoconductors for many years, but in recent years OPC (organic photoconductors) have come into use due to their low cost and low running costs for photoconductors. . However, since OPC is an organic material, its durability has been problematic. Durability required for photoreceptors in the electrophotographic process includes resistance to deterioration due to ozone generated during corona charging, and durability during toner development and transfer processes.

[Durability against wear and scratches on the exposed surface, moisture resistance, etc. Various methods have been proposed to solve these durability problems. For example, a photoreceptor using a polyarylate resin as a binder in the surface layer has improved durability against external mechanical forces such as abrasion and scratches, but is not sufficient in terms of moisture resistance. On the other hand, there is a method of using fluorine-based surfactants to improve moisture resistance, but there is a problem with the sustainability of the effect, and methods of dispersing Teflon powder etc. do not disperse uniformly and reduce transparency. There were problems such as. [Lesson 1 that the invention attempts to solve! FI1 An object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks observed in electrophotographic photoreceptors made of conventional materials as described above, and to provide a new electrophotographic photoreceptor with excellent durability. [Means for Solving the Problems] Based on the recognition of the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies and found that a polymer having a fluorine-containing aliphatic ring structure has high transparency and low water absorption. The present inventors have newly discovered that the present invention is extremely advantageous as a material for providing an electrophotographic photoreceptor with sufficient strength despite poor moldability. The present invention has thus been completed based on the above findings, and provides an electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a conductive substrate and a photoconductive layer, the surface layer of which is made of a polymer having a fluorine-containing aliphatic ring structure. The present invention provides a novel electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising: The photoconductive layer used in the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention may be a single piece or a laminated type consisting of a charge transport layer and a charge generation layer. The surface layer made of the polymer having a fluorine-containing aliphatic ring structure of the $ invention may be these photoconductive layers, or may be a protective layer that is removed from the photoconductive layer. In the present invention, a wide range of examples of polymers having a C2 fluorine-containing biliary ring structure can be used, including those that are conventionally known or well-known. Therefore, in the present invention, a fluorine-containing polymer having a ring structure as defined in 1) above in the main chain is preferably employed. For example, polymers having a ring structure as shown in the formula (1) and (4) are typical, including polymers having a ring structure as shown in the formula (1) and (4). However, the content of the present invention is not limited to these only. (USP, 1/1183L1.GB ff110B

-CF2-CCCF2↓ Radical polymerization (LISP 3202643 etc.) (3) CF2-CF-0-CF2-CF=CF2↓
Radical Polymerization There are two methods for producing these polymers as follows. However, it is not limited to these manufacturing methods. 1. By cyclization polymerization (1) CF2; CF-0-CFpCF2-0-CCC
F2↓ Radical polymerization 2, cyclic polymerization using UF'3CF'3 Uto'3 ShilI3 (USP 3978030) In the above, 1, a polymer having a perfluoroaliphatic ring structure was exemplified, but the present invention In this case, some of the above-mentioned fluorine atoms are replaced with other hydrogen atoms or organic groups,
Alternatively, those having a ring structure such as t) obtained by metathesis polymerization may also be mentioned. Ru. Surface 1. The polymer having the specific ring structure in c', present invention i: can be obtained more smoothly and advantageously by the above-mentioned cyclization polymerization, but in particular, the polymer having two polymerizable groups with different polymerizability in the molecule. In addition, by using 1,000 polymers in which the linear part of the connecting chain connecting these two polymerizable groups has an original r-number of 2 to 7, it is not necessary to adopt liQ high pressure conditions or large dilution conditions. Also 1. There are 20 types of polymers that suppress gelation by-products and allow cyclization polymerization to proceed smoothly and advantageously. ), which is suitable for cyclization polymerization as described above, it is desirable to first create two carbon-carbon multiple bonds with different first t and τ1 polymerizability. Usually carbon-carbon double bonds are expressed as Hayashi JII. For example, a bilaterally symmetrical structure “r>
There are no two multiple connections that are included in the vehicle group, Bi, -
Examples include a ru group and an allyl group, a vinyl ether group and a vinyl 7,i group, a fluorine-containing multi-handed bond and a hydrocarbon multiple bond, and a -fluoro multiple bond and a partially fluorinated multiple bond. Second, it is desirable that the number of atoms in the straight portion of the linking chain connecting these two carbon-carbon multiple bonds is 2 to -7. When the number of atoms in the linear portion of the connecting chain is 0...1, cyclization polymerization occurs, and the same is true when the number of atoms in the linear portion of the connected chain is 8 or more. Generally preferred is a case where the number of atoms is 2 to 5. Furthermore, the connecting chain is not limited to a straight line, and may have a side chain structure or a ring structure, and the constituent atoms are not limited to carbon atoms, but may include heteroatoms such as O, S, and N. . Thirdly, it is desirable that the fluorine content be 10% or more. If the fluorine content is too low,
The iridescent specificity of fluorine atoms is demonstrated, creating a rainbow. Naturally, the Vernooro monolithic body is preferably employed. In the specific example of the above-mentioned specific fluorine-containing monomer and 17, 1,

2 etc. may be exemplified. In the present invention, those having one vinyl ether group such as CF2''CFO- are preferably employed in terms of polymerization reactivity, cyclization polymerization, gelation suppression, etc. In particular, perfluoroallyl vinyl ether (CFP''CFOCF2CF
=CF2) and barfluorobutenylvinylny, ・
Chill (CF22CFOCF2 CF20F=CF2) is mentioned as a suitable example. The above-mentioned monomer components can be used alone or in combination of two or more, and even if they are copolymerized in combination with other copolymer components to the extent that the essence of these components is not impaired, there is no problem. There is no problem, and if necessary, the polymer may be crosslinked in some way. Other monomers to be copolymerized are not particularly limited as long as they exhibit radical polymerizability, and include a wide range of fluorine-containing monomers, hydrocarbon monomers, and others. Of course, these other monomers may be used alone in radical copolymerization with the monomer capable of introducing the specific ring structure, or two or more of these other monomers may be used in combination to form the above copolymer. A reaction may be performed. In the present invention, it is usually desirable to select fluorine-containing monomers such as fluoro-1/fin, fluorovinyl ether, etc. as other monomers. For example, putrafluoroethylene, perfluoromethyl vinyl, 1-thyl, perfluoropropyl vinyl ether, or perfluorovinyl ether containing a functional group such as a carboxylic acid group or a sulfonic acid group are preferred examples, and vinylidene fluoride , vinyl fluoride, chlorotrifluoroethylene and the like. As for the copolymer composition, in order to take advantage of the characteristics of the specific fluorine-containing aliphatic ring structure aimed at in the present invention, the composition of the cyclic structure is preferably 20% or more, and more preferably 4% or more.
It is desirable that it is 0% or more. In the present invention, as a method for crosslinking the fluoropolymer, commonly used methods can be appropriately used. For example, crosslinking can be achieved by copolymerizing a monomer having a crosslinking site, by adding a crosslinking agent, or by using radiation or the like. 3. Various additives such as antioxidants and ultraviolet stabilizers may be added to the fluoropolymer of the present invention in order to improve its practicality. Since the polymer having a specific ring structure in the present invention is soluble in fluorine-based solvents, it is also possible to create a thin protective film by casting from a solution. In addition, as a thermoplastic resin, it has a low melting temperature and a relatively low melt viscosity, so it is easily melted by heat. The solvent used is not limited as long as it dissolves the above polymer, but examples include perfluorobenzene, "6Afluid" (trade name: fluorine-based solvent manufactured by Asahi Glass Co., Ltd.),
“Florinate” (Product name: Liquid containing perfluoro(2-butyltetrahydrofuran) manufactured by 3M)
, trichlorotrifluoroethane and the like are preferred. Naturally, two or more appropriate types can be used in combination as a solvent. Particularly in the case of mixed solvents, hydrocarbons, alcohols, and other organic solvents can also be used in combination. The solution concentration is 0.OtwtX ~50wt1, preferably 0. tw
tX ~ 20wtX. [Function] In the present invention, the polymer having a fluorine-containing aliphatic ring structure has low crystallinity or almost no crystallinity, so it exhibits high transparency and high light transmittance despite being a fluororesin. Moreover, since it is a fluorine-containing polymer, it is considered to have better moisture resistance, weather resistance, and chemical resistance than ordinary hydrocarbon resins. However, it goes without saying that such explanations are provided to assist in understanding the present invention and do not limit the present invention. [Examples] Next, Examples of the present invention will be described in more detail, but it goes without saying that this description does not limit the present invention.
