Abstract
An electrostatographic imaging member and an electrophotographic imaging process for using the imaging member are disclosed in which the imaging member comprises a substrate and an electrophotoconductive layer, the imaging member comprising a polymeric arylamine compound represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein: n is between about 5 and about 5,000, Z is selected from certain specified aromatic and fused ring groups, m is 0 or 1, Ar is selected from certain specified aromatic groups, and Ar' is selected from certain specified aromatic groups. The imaging member may comprise a substrate, charge generation layer and a charge transport layer.
Claims12
An electrostatographic imaging member comprising a support layer and at least one electrophotoconductive layer, said imaging member comprising an arylamine compound represented by the formula:
- ##STR12## wherein:
- n is between 5 and about 5,000,
- Z is selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR13## and --Ar--(X).sub.s --Ar-- m is 0 or 1,
- s is 0, 1, 2 or 3
- Ar is selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR14## R is selected from the group consisting of --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --C.sub.3 H.sub.7, and --C.sub.4 H.sub.9,
- Ar' is selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR15## X is selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR16## s' is 0, 1 or 2.
An electrophotographic imaging process comprising forming an electrostatic latent image on the imaging surface of an electrostatographic imaging member comprising a support layer and at least one electrophotoconductive layer, said imaging member comprising an arylamine compound represented by the formula:
- ##STR17## wherein:
- n is between about 5 and about 5,000,
- Z is selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR18## and --Ar--(X).sub.s --Ar-- m is 0 or 1,
- s is 0, 1, 2 or 3
- Ar is selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR19## R is selected from the group consisting of --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --C.sub.3 H.sub.7, and --C.sub.4 H.sub.9,
- Ar' is selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR20## X is selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR21## s' is 0, 1 or 2, and contacting said imaging surface with a developer comprising electrostatically attractable marking particles whereby said electrostatically attractable marking particles deposit on said imaging surface in conformance with said electrostatic latent image to form a marking particle image.
