Abstract: The present invention provided a photosensitive member for electrophotography having excellent durability and adhesion between a surface protective layer and a photosensitive layer. In the photosensitive member for electrophotography wherein at least the photosensitive layer and the surface protective layer are laminated on an electroconductive support in this order, the characteristic is that said surface protective layer comprises at least polysiloxane and silyl group-containing vinyl resin.

Abstract: The present invention provides a photosensitive member for electrophotography which has an excellent adhesion between a surface protective layer and a photosensitive layer and an excellent image quality at the time of plate wearing. In the photosensitive member for electrophotography wherein at least the photosensitive layer and the surface protective layer are laminated on an electroconductive support in this order, the characteristic is that said surface protective layer comprises at least fluorine-containing polysiloxane, ultraviolet absorber and electroconductive fine particles.

Abstract: An inventive apparatus for producing electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a guide portion permitting passage of a cylindrical coated member; a coating-solution feed portion disposed around an outer periphery of the guide portion and allowing a coating solution to flow over an upper end of the guide portion thereby applying the solution to an outer periphery of the coated member; a coating-solution feeding assembly for feeding the coating solution to the coating-solution feed portion; a coating-solution recovery portion disposed around an outer periphery of the coating-solution feed portion via a partitioning wall for recovery of the coating solution flowing from the coating-solution feed portion over the partitioning wall; and an openable communicating portion for communication between the coating-solution feed portion and the coating-solution recovery portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a photosensitive member for electrophotography which has excellent adhesion between a surface protective layer and a photosensitive layer as well as electrostatic properties, such as sensitivity and the like, and which prevents an occurrence of an image noise over a long period of time.

Abstract: An electrophotographic photosensitive member is provided which does not involve any image noise occurrence, such as black spot or white spot under any environment. The electrophotographic photosensitive member comprises a photoreceptor substrate including an anodized layer formed on the surface of an aluminum or aluminum alloy base, the anodized layer having been sealed by a low temperature sealing treatment and a high temperature sealing treatment, and at least one photosensitive layer formed on the photoreceptor substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement of a photosensitive member having a photosensitive layer which contains a specific amino compound as a charge transporting material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a photosensitive member comprising a charge generating material, a charge transporting material, a binder resin and a specified electronattracting material, preferably further specified hindered phenol compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a photosensitive member comprising a specified distyryl compound as a charge transporting material. The specified distyryl compound may be used in combination with a specified silicone oil and a specified butyrated phenol.
