  • POLYESTER-BASED PHOTORECEPTOR OVERCOAT LAYER
    Publication number: 20110076604
    Abstract: The presently disclosed embodiments are directed generally to an improved electrostatographic imaging member in which the overcoat layer comprises cross-linkable polyester resins. The overcoat layer not only provides wear resistance, but it also provides higher charge transport efficiency and therefore better photoelectrical properties. In addition, the polyesters can cross-link with a variety of resins and thus provide good adhesion as well.

  • TREATMENT OF CARBON BLACK WITH A FLUOROSILANE
    Publication number: 20110045305
    Abstract: Provided are coating composites for imaging members, imaging members, and apparatuses for forming an image. In accordance with various embodiments, there is a coating composite for imaging components. The coating composite can include a film forming resin and a plurality of surface treated carbon black particles substantially uniformly dispersed in the film forming resin, wherein each of the plurality of surface treated carbon black particles includes one or more fluorosilanes bonded to a surface of the carbon black particle.

  • OVERCOAT LAYER COMPRISING METAL OXIDES
    Publication number: 20100239967
    Abstract: The presently disclosed embodiments are directed generally to an improved electrostatographic imaging member in which the overcoat layer is inorganic and based on the incorporation of metal oxides, such as aluminum oxide, in specific amounts. The imaging members having such an overcoat layer exhibit improved wear resistance and life extension without any adverse impacts on performance.
