The present disclosure is related to coated photoconductors. In an example, a coated photoconductor can comprise a photoconductor including a substrate having a charge generation layer and charge transport layer adhered thereto and a top coating adhered to the photoconductor.
Claims17
A coated photoconductor, comprising:
- a photoconductor including a substrate having a charge generation layer and charge transport layer adhered thereto;
- and
- a top coating adhered to the photoconductor and comprising a cross-linkable polymer, a cross-linker, and a polymeric dopant having charge transport properties, wherein the polymeric dopant is selected from the group of polyfluorenes;
- polyanilines;
- polythiophenes;
- polycarbozoles;
- and mixtures thereof.
A process of manufacturing a photoconductor, comprising applying a top coating to the photoconductor, the photoconductor including a substrate having a charge generation layer and charge transport layer adhered thereto, wherein the top coating comprises a cross-linkable polymer, a cross-linker, and a polymeric dopant having charge transport properties, and wherein the polymeric dopant is dispersed throughout the top coating, and wherein the polymeric dopant is selected from the group of polyfluorenes, polyanilines, polythiophenes, polycarbozoles, and mixtures thereof.
