Abstract

Abstract An improved reusable multiactive electro­photographic element has a charge-transport layer comprising a triarylamine charge-transport material in a mixture of binders comprising poly[2,2-bis(4-­hydroxyphenyl)propane carbonate] and a polyester of 4,4′-(2-norbornylidene)diphenol and terephthalic and azelaic acids, with the weight ratio of the poly­carbonate to the polyester being in the range of 9:1 to 3:7.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 74 words
An electrophotographic element comprising: an electrically conductive support; a charge-generation layer comprising a photoconductive material sensitive to visible or infrared radiation; and a charge-transport layer containing a triarylamine charge-transport material, characterized in that the charge-transport layer comprises a mixture of a polycarbonate comprising poly[2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane carbonate] and a polyester formed from 4,4′-(2-nor­bornylidene)diphenol and terephthalic and azelaic acids, and the weight ratio of the polycarbonate to the polyester is in the range of 9:1 to 3:7.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 74 words
An electrophotographic element comprising: an electrically conductive support; a charge-generation layer comprising a photoconductive material sensitive to visible or infrared radiation; and a charge-transport layer containing a triarylamine charge-transport material, characterized in that the charge-transport layer comprises a mixture of a polycarbonate comprising poly[2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane carbonate] and a polyester formed from 4,4′-(2-nor­bornylidene)diphenol and terephthalic and azelaic acids, and the weight ratio of the polycarbonate to the polyester is in the range of 9:1 to 3:7.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
The electrophotographic element of claim 1, wherein the molar ratio of terephthalic acid:azelaic acid from which the polyester was formed is 40:60.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
