Abstract: An electrophotographic photosensitive material having an electrophotosensitive layer comprising a finely divided inorganic photoconductive material, a sensitizing dye for the photoconductive material and a resinous binder on a support and to be subjected to bleaching treatment after the formation of a visible image to remove the coloration with the sensitizing dye from the electrophotosensitive layer with a solution containing an organic acid or an alkali metal hydroxide, which comprises the resinous binder being crosslinked with polyisocyanate to be rendered insoluble in an organic solvent.

Abstract: Electrophotographic sheet material comprising a dye-sensitized photoconductive layer is made resistant to fading of its light-sensitivity by incorporating in the photoconductive layer a nitro-substituted xanthene dye, e.g. safrosin.

Abstract: A recording material is described, which comprises a support of paper or of synthetic polymer and an electroconductive layer on at least one side of the support. The surface resistance of this electroconductive layer is not more than 10.sup.11 ohms per sq. at a relative humidity of 15%. The layer consists or includes a major proportion of a water-soluble polymer resulting from the amino alkylation of polyethyleneimine with an epoxy compound bearing a quaternary ammonium end group.The electroconductive layers may be used as antistatic layers in a photographic silver halide recording material. When covered with a photoconductive coating the electroconductive layer may be used in electrophotographic recording materials. When an insulating layer is applied on the electroconductive layer an electrographic recording material is formed.

Abstract: Print contrast in zinc oxide-coated electrostatic copy paper is improved by the incorporation of small quantities of manganous chloride or manganous bromide.
