Abstract
A photoconductor that includes a first layer, a supporting substrate thereover, a photogenerating layer, and at least one charge transport layer of at least one charge transport component, and wherein the first layer is in contact with the supporting substrate on the reverse side thereof, and which first layer is comprised of a nano diamond component.
Claims27
A photoconductor consisting essentially of a first anticurl layer, a supporting substrate thereover, a photogenerating layer, and at least one charge transport layer comprised of at least one charge transport component, and wherein said first anticurl layer is in contact with said supporting substrate on the reverse side thereof, and which first anticurl layer consists essentially of a nano diamond component dispersed in a polymer wherein said nano diamond component has a diameter of from about 30 to about 100 nanometers, said nano diamond component is comprised of a diamond core and a graphite shell thereover.
A photoconductor consisting essentially of and in sequence of a supporting substrate, a photogenerating layer thereover, and a charge transport layer, and wherein said substrate includes on the reverse side thereof an anticurl layer consisting of a nano diamond with a diameter of from about 30 to about 100 nanometers, and which nano diamond is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 15 weight percent, wherein said nano diamond consists essentially of a diamond core and a graphite shell;
- and wherein said nano diamond is dispersed in at least one of a polyarylate, an acrylic, a vinyl polymer, a cellulose polymer, a polyester, a polyamide, a polyurethane,a poly(cycloolefin), a polycarbonate, and an epoxy.
A photoconductor consisting of and in sequence, a nano diamond anticurl backside coating, which nano diamond is comprised of a diamond core and a graphite shell, a supporting substrate, a photogenerating layer thereover, and a hole transport layer, wherein said nano diamond is dispersed in a polymer and said nano diamond has a diameter of from about 30 to about 100 nanometers and wherein said hole transport layer is comprised of a top hole transport layer and a bottom hole transport layer, and wherein said top hole transport is in contact with said bottom hole transport layer, and said bottom hole transport layer is in contact with said photogenerating layer.
