Photoconductive imaging members with polyurethane hole transporting layers

Abstract

A layered photoresponsive imaging member comprised of a photogenerating layer, and in contact therewith a hole transporting layer comprised of charge transport polyurethanes of the following formula, optionally doped with a charge transport compound, or optionally dispersed in an inert resinous binder: ##STR1## wherein A, B and Z are independently selected from the group of bifunctional linkages; R is an alkyl or aryl group; Ar is an aryl or substituted aryl group; x and y represent the mole fractional numbers of the polyurethane structural composition units, subject to the provision that x is greater than 0 and that the sum of x and y is equal to 1.0; and n represents the number of repeating segments.
