Abstract: Chemically prepared toner is manufactured by aggregation in which the binder resin is a latex copolymer having a methacrylic acid ester of long chain, saturated alkyl, which may be lauryl methacrylate. This binder resin has a small amount by weight of acrylic acid component and has other nonionic components, which may be styrene and butyl acrylate moieties. Aggregation is carried out in an aqueous medium, which may have organic solvent components.

Abstract: Plasticizers in a charge transfer layer to reduce surface cracking and crazing having a hydrocarbon chain, attached to a hindered phenol containing triazole or triazine moiety. Plasticizers found useful for this application can be used in a concentration (by weight of the charge transfer layer) in the order of magnitude of 10% to about 25%. The plasticizer additive may also be used in combination with other known plasticizers such as those containing a 2-ethylhexyl group.

Abstract: A charge transfer layer system that encapsulates or surrounds high viscosity silicone oils (polysiloxanes) using silicone microspheres, fluoropolymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene or inorganic particles such as silica, or metal soaps (zinc stearate). The encapsulation of the silicone oil results in aggregation or agglomeration of the silicone microspheres, fluoropolymers, or inorganic particles. The silicone oils have viscosity greater than 10,000 centistokes (cs) and the particles are about 6 ?m or less.

Abstract: A photoconductor having a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer, the charge transport layer having hydrazone or aryl amine charge transport molecules and also having as room light protective additives acetosol yellow 5GLS and tetraphenylcyclopentadienone or 9-fluorenone. Preferably the amount of the acetosol yellow is 2 to 4 percent by weight of the weight of the charge transfer layer and the ratio of weight between the acetosol yellow and the dienone or fluorenone is in the range of 1:1 to 1:3.
