Abstract
Abstract Photoconductive coating compositions for application to solid substrates which are to be utilized in electrophotographic operations are described; the resultant photoconductive coatings comprise a layer of photoconductive pigment particles bonded to themselves and to the solid substrate with a binder comprising a novel interpolymer, at least one of whose constituent monomers contains bromine. Novel bromine-containing monomers are also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A photoconductive composition comprising a finely divided photoconductive pigment selected from at least one member of the group consisting of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, selenium oxide and zinc sulfide dispersed in a bromine-containing interpolymer consisting essentially of repeating units derived from at least one bromine-containing monomer corresponding to the general formulas: ##EQU5## wherein: R.sub.1 = H, or -CH.sub.3, R.sub.2 = alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.3 = H, CH.sub.3, or --CH.sub.2 Br, ##EQU6## R.sub.6 = H or Br and at least one monomer which does not contain bromine selected from the group consisting of compounds corresponding to the general formulas ##EQU7## wherein: R 1 = H or --CH 3 , R 4 = h, cl, or t-butyl, R 5 = an alkyl radical of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl radical of 3 to 8 carbon atoms, and Z = h or -- COO -- R 5 wherein the interpolymer contains from 0.01 to 0.35 mole of bromine-containing monomer per mole of total monomers and wherein the ratio of pigment to interpolymer is in the range of from about 2:1 to 12:1 by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
189 words
A photoconductive composition comprising a finely divided photoconductive pigment selected from at least one member of the group consisting of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, selenium oxide and zinc sulfide dispersed in a bromine-containing interpolymer consisting essentially of repeating units derived from at least one bromine-containing monomer corresponding to the general formulas: ##EQU5## wherein: R.sub.1 = H, or -CH.sub.3, R.sub.2 = alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.3 = H, CH.sub.3, or --CH.sub.2 Br, ##EQU6## R.sub.6 = H or Br and at least one monomer which does not contain bromine selected from the group consisting of compounds corresponding to the general formulas ##EQU7## wherein: R 1 = H or --CH 3 , R 4 = h, cl, or t-butyl, R 5 = an alkyl radical of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl radical of 3 to 8 carbon atoms, and Z = h or -- COO -- R 5 wherein the interpolymer contains from 0.01 to 0.35 mole of bromine-containing monomer per mole of total monomers and wherein the ratio of pigment to interpolymer is in the range of from about 2:1 to 12:1 by weight.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein there is also present from about 0.02% to about 0.5% of at least one sensitizer dye based on the weight of the photosensitive pigment therein.
