  • Publication number: 20090053636
    Abstract: The presently disclosed embodiments are directed to charge transport layers useful in electrostatography. More particularly, the embodiments pertain to an improved electrostatographic imaging member having a charge transport layer that is partially crosslinked, wherein the crosslinking is achieved by incorporating a small amount of compatible thermalsetting resins into the layer. Incorporation of these resins, using a fast curing system, have been shown to increase charge transport life while providing improved manufacture of a photoreceptor in which curing is faster and possible at a lower temperature.
