Electrophotographic Photoreceptor, and Process Cartridge and Image Forming Apparatus Employing the Same

An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a conductive support and provided thereon, a photosensitive layer,

• wherein an outermost layer of the electrophotographic photoreceptor comprises a fluorine resin represented by Formula (1):
• wherein each of X, Y and Z independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a halogen-substituted alkyl group or a halogen-substituted alkoxy group;
• at least one of X, Y and Z represents a fluorine atom;
• each of R4, R5, R6 and R7 independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a halogen-substituted alkyl group, provided that the halogen atom is not a fluorine atom, and repeating units represented by “—CF(X)—CY(Z)-” or “—CR4(R5)—CR6(R7)” may be identical or different;
• each of R1, R2, and R3 independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a halogen-substituted alkyl group;
• at least one of R1, R2, and R3 represents a fluorine atom;
• nil represents an integer of 1-8000;
• and n2 represents an integer of 0-4000.
