Assignee:
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG - Heidelberg
International Classification:
G03G 510
US Classification:
430 64, 430 96
Abstract:
Disclosed are photoconductive elements including a conductive support, e. g. , an electrically conductive film, drum, or belt, on which a negatively chargeable photoconductive layer is disposed. An electrical barrier layer is disposed between the conductive support and the photoconductive layer. The barrier layer provides a high energy barrier to the injection of positive charges, but transports electrons under an applied electric field. In embodiments, the barrier layer can transport charge by electronic, or both electronic and ionic mechanisms, and, is not substantially affected by humidity changes. The barrier layer includes a polyester-co-imides, polyesterionomer-co-imides, or polyamide-co-imides having covalently bonded as repeat units in the polymer chain, aromatic tetracarbonylbisimide groups of the formula: wherein Ar and Ar respectively represent tetravalent or trivalent aromatic groups of 6 to about 20 carbon atoms, and X is O, C(CF ) , S O or SO.

The amount of aromatic tetracarbonylbisimide content in the polymer is selected such that the barrier layer can be coated onto the support as a relatively thick layer, which provides for enhanced performance as a photoconductor when used in an electrophotographic process.

G03G 15/20
G03G 15/00
US Classification:
399322, 399326, 399327, 399401
Abstract:
An electrostatographic reproduction apparatus includes: a primary imaging member for producing an electrostatic latent image on a receiver, a development station for applying toner particles to the latent image to form a developed toner image on the receiver, a fuser assembly for fixing the developed toner image to form a fused toner image on the receiver, and a transport member for transporting the receiver to or from the fuser assembly.
