Abstract: Disclosed are core-shell particles, whose core and shell materials are capable of forming a two-phase system, the shell material being filmable, the core being essentially form-stable under shell-filming conditions and being only very minimally swellable by the shell material, if at all, the cores having a monodisperse size distribution, and there being a difference between the refractive indices of the core material and of the shell material of at least 0.001. Also disclosed are the preparation of the core-shell particles and their use for preparing effect colorants.

Abstract: For the preparation of acrylate and/or methacrylate polymers containing carbazolyl side groups, polymers of acryloyl chloride and/or of methacryloxyl chloride are subjected to a polymer-analogous reaction in solution with alcoholates of N-(.omega.-hydroxyalkyl)-carbazoles. The poly(meth)acrylates containing carbazolyl side groups and prepared in this manner have good photoconductor properties and can advantageously be used in electrophotographic recording elements.

The photoconducting layer contains one or more binders, several charge carrier-producing compounds or sensitizers, one or more charge carrier-transporting compounds (photoconductors) and, if required, additives.
