Abstract: A chamfering apparatus for chamfering an outer periphery of a disk-shaped substrate includes a grinding member having a circular hole inside thereof, wherein the hole has a diameter larger than an outer diameter of the substrate. An inner periphery of the grinding member forming the hole is a grinding surface and grinds the outer periphery of the substrate.

Abstract: An electrophotographic positively charged toner and method for its manufacture. The toner includes a core toner that has a binder resin, a wax, a colorant and a charge control agent as its principal component materials. The core toner is spherified through heat treatment. The toner also includes at least fine silica particles as an external additive. The charge control agent contains a resin having a quaternary ammonium salt group as a functional group and a nigrosine dye. Even if after kneading, pulverization and classification, the toner is made spherical by melting the surfaces of the particles in a hot air current, the charge control agent is not coated and hence the charging ability thereof is not reduced.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotography photosensitive body substrate, photosensitive body, and electrophotography device used in a contact charging process that can prevent the occurrence of minor insulation damage of around diameter 0.1-0.5 mm. In an electrophotography photosensitive body substrate having a sealed aluminum anodic oxidation film on its surface, the anodic oxidation film is sealed by a sealing agent in which an anion surface active agent is beneficially added.

Abstract: A photoconductor for electrophotography includes a conductive substrate and an organic film comprised of one or more layers which contain one or more organic compounds. The water content of the organic film is regulated to be within 0.02 to 5.0 weight percent with respect to the total weight of the organic film by exposing the photoconductor to an atmosphere of controlled temperature and humidity during fabrication of the photoconductor. By exposing the photoconductor to the controlled atmosphere, consistency in photoconductive properties is realized from one photoconductor to another.
