Electrophotographic photoreceptor, process cartridge, and image forming apparatus

Abstract

An electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a conductive substrate, and a lamination type photosensitive layer disposed on the conductive substrate and including a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer, in which the charge transport layer contains a charge transport material, at least one of a polyester resin (PEz) or a polycarbonate resin (PCz) that has at least one of a structure (Z1) represented by Formula (Z1) or a structure (Z2) represented by Formula (Z2) at at least one terminal, and a resin (X) that has at least one of a unit (X1) represented by Formula (X1) or a unit (X2) represented by Formula (X2), a mass proportion of the resin (X) in a total amount of the polyester resin (PEz), the polycarbonate resin (PCz), and the resin (X) in the charge transport layer is 0.5% by mass or greater and 30% by mass or less, and the charge transport layer has an average thickness of greater than 30 μm and less than 50 μm, in Formula (Z1), Ar1 represents an aromatic ring that may have a substituent, in Formula (Z2), Ar2 represents an aromatic ring that may have a substituent, in Formula (X1), R101, R102, and R103 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms, L101 represents a single bond, an alkylene group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms, —O—, —C(═O)—, —C(═O)O—, an aromatic ring that may have a substituent, or a combination thereof, L102 represents a single bond, an alkylene group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms, —O—, —C(═O)—, —C(═O)O—, or a combination thereof, R104 and R105 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms, n represents an integer of 0 or greater and 300 or less, R106, R107, and R108 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms or —O—[Si(R109)(R110)O]m—Si(R111)(R112)(R113), R109, R110, R111, R12, and R113 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms, and m represents an integer of 0 or greater and 20 or less, in Formula (X2), R201, R202, and R203 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms, L201 represents a single bond, an alkylene group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms, —O—, —C(═O)—, —C(═O)O—, an aromatic ring that may have a substituent, or a combination thereof, L202 represents a single bond, an alkylene group having 1 or more and 5 or less carbon atoms, —O—, —C(═O)—, —C(═O)O—, or a combination thereof, and R204 is an alkyl group having 6 or more and 30 or less carbon atoms.
