Control of crazing, cracking or crystallization of a charge transport layer in a photoconductor

Abstract

Embodiments of a photoconductor for use in a printer or printer cartridge comprise an electrically conductive substrate, a charge generation layer disposed over the electrically conductive substrate, and a charge transport layer disposed over the charge generation layer, wherein the charge transport layer comprises charge transport molecules with octyl/decyl glycidyl ether (OGE) or dodecyl/tetradecyl glycidyl ether (DGE), or combinations thereof, added to improve resistance to crazing, cracking and crystallization in the change transport layer.
