Method for manufacturing fluorinated strucutured organic photoreceptor layers

A method of manufacturing a fluorinated structured organic film (FSOF) composition comprising:

• combining a fluorinated molecular building block, a hole transport building block and a solvent to form a composition;
• adding the composition to a round bottom reactor;
• heating, without mixing, the round bottom reactor to a temperature of between 72° C. and 85° C. for a period of time to dissolve the fluorinated molecular building block;
• mixing the heated mixture at a first speed and then increasing the mixing to a second speed for the period of time sufficient to dissolve the hole transport building block at a temperature of between 72° C. and 85° C.;
• adding a catalyst and leveling agent to the mixed heated mixture to initiate a pre-cure reaction and allowing the pre-cure reaction to proceed for at least 2 hours at a temperature of between 72° C. and 85° C. to form a pre-cure composition;
• cooling the pre-cure composition to room temperature;
• and
• filtering the pre-cure composition through a filter.

A method of manufacturing a fluorinated structured organic film (FSOF) composition comprising:

• combining 1,1,8,8-dodecafluoro-1,8-octanediol, N4,N4,N4′,N4′-tetrakis(4-(methoxymethyl)phenyl)biphenyl-4,4′-diamine and dipropylene glycol methyl ether to form a composition;
• adding the composition to a round bottom non-reactive reactor;
• heating, without mixing, the round bottom non-reactive reactor to a temperature of between 80 and 85° C. for a period of time to dissolve the 1,1,8,8-dodecafluoro-1,8-octanediol in the dipropylene glycol methyl ether;
• mixing the heated mixture for the period of time sufficient to dissolve the N4,N4,N4′,N4′-tetrakis(4-(methoxymethyl)phenyl)biphenyl-4,4′-diamine in the dipropylene glycol methyl ether at a temperature of between 80 and 85° C.;
• adding an acid catalyst and leveling agent to the mixed heated mixture to initiate a pre-cure reaction and allowing the pre-cure reaction to proceed for at least 2 hours at a temperature of between 80 and 85° C. to form a pre-cure composition;
• cooling the pre-cure composition to room temperature;
• and
• filtering the pre-cure composition through a filter.
