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. The photosensitive member for electrophotography which comprises: (i) an electroconductive support, (ii) an organic photosensitive layer which comprises a charge generating material, a charge transporting material, and a binder resin, and (iii) a surface protective layer which comprises a thermosetting silicone resin, said surface protective layer being prepared by applying a coating solution comprising the thermosetting silicone resin and a solvent, which can dissolve the binder resin and has a boiling point of 60-130° C. and a solubility parameter of 8-11, onto the organic photosensitive layer and then curing the applied coating solution.

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.
