Abstract: A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic substrate and a magnetic layer and a protective layer which are formed on the non-magnetic substrate in that order, wherein a substance(s) as a single component or a plurality of components, which constitute a liquid continuously supplied to the surface of said protective layer, are adsorbed on or react with the surface of said protective layer to form a lubricating film having low frictional properties and low wearing-out properties. The present invention can realize negligible friction and wear resistance even in severe sliding at a very slightly kept-off or completely contacted state by continuous supply of a liquid lubricant prepared by adding a fluoro compound and an extreme pressure agent or an oiliness agent to a solvent to the surface of a disc, and can provide a magnetic recording reproducer having excellent sliding-resistant characteristics.

Abstract: Object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus in which water, oil or grease are maintained on an ordinary using surface in a stable condition by preventing the water, the oil or the grease from moving to other surface than the ordinary using surface.The present invention relates to an apparatus using water, oil, or grease, especially, the apparatus in which surroundings of the surface maintaining the water, the oil, or the grease are reformed by fluorinated compound. In accordance with the present invention, seeping out of the water, the oil, or the grease are prevented, the water, the oil, or the grease are certainly held at the using surface, and stable performance is maintained for a long time.

Abstract: An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a photoconductive layer comprising a photoconductor, a support for the photoconductive layer and a surface layer formed on the photoconductive layer and comprising a curable resin film and an inorganic insulator pieces having a size larger than the film thickness of the curable resin film. In order to prevent the image blurring of an a-Si:H photoreceptor, on the outermost surface of the photoreceptor was formed a surface layer having a structure in which inorganic insulator pieces have protruded from the curable resin film. Since the curable resin is of high resistance and shows no quality change by corona irradiation, and besides the protruding inorganic insulator pieces prevent the abrasion of the resin, the surface layer having a long life and excellent humidity resistance, durability for corona irradiation and abrasion resistance can be realized.

Abstract: An electrophotographic photosensitive element, e.g. for a photocopier or laser printer, comprises a substrate and a plurality of layers on the substrate including a photoconductive layer of a-Si:H and a protective and lubricating layer which is outermost from said substrate. To provide wear resistance and long life-time of the protective and lubricating layer, this layer comprises a microporous solid material having a pore structure which extends substantially over the whole thickness of the material and a hydrophobic lubricant carried by said solid material. The lubricant includes a liquid film and often times a non-particulate solid film, and provides at least part of the outer surface of the element and is present also in the pores of said microporous solid material.
