Abstract: A photoreceptor for electrophotography which comprises a conductive substrate and a photoconductive layer on the conductive substrate, a polycarbonate resin containing free chlorine of 2 ppm or below being contained in the photoconductive layer. No minute black spots generate and an excellent quality of picture is provided.

Abstract: A polycarbonate derived from a novel dihydroxy compound having a triphenylamine structure, and a process for producing the polycarbonate are disclosed. The polycarbonate is obtained by reacting a dihydroxy compound having a triphenylamine structure described hereinbefore and a carbonate precursor, or by reacting the dihydroxy compound, a dihydric phenol compound and the carbonate precursor. The polycarbonate is useful as a plastic molding material or as a material for forming a polymer alloy with other resin.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electrophotographic photosensitive member comprising a conductive support and a photosensitive layer provided thereon, wherein the photosensitive layer contains a random copolymer having a structural unit represented by the following Formula (I): ##STR1## and a structural unit represented by the following Formula (II): ##STR2##

Abstract: In a polycarbonate resin/silicone rubber integrally molded article, a polycarbonate resin having an aliphatic unsaturated group, typically an isopropenyl group is integrally joined to an addition type silicone rubber containing a tackifier component at high bond strength. It is prepared by injection molding a modified polycarbonate resin into a preform, injection molding a silicone rubber composition over the preform, and curing the composition at a temperature below the softening point of the polycarbonate resin.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image-holding member which comprises an electroconductive support and a resin layer formed on the support, wherein the surface layer of the image-holding member contains a copolymer having the structure units represented by the formulas [I] and [II]: ##STR1## where A is a linear, branched or cyclic alkylidene group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl-substituted alkylidene group, arylene-dialkylidene group, --O--, --S--, --CO--, --SO--, or --SO.sub.2 --; and R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are respectively hydrogen, halogen, or an alkyl or alkenyl group of 1 to 4 carbons; ##STR2## where R.sub.5 is an alkylene or alkylidene group of 2 to 6 carbons; R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are respectively an alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbons, a phenyl or substituted phenyl group; and n is an integer of from 1 to 200, and the copolymer containing the structure unit of the formula [II] in an amount of from 0.1 to 50% by weight Of the total weight of the copolymer.
