Description

Electrophtography photosensor, method for making, the imaging method that uses it, device and handle box
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for a kind of Electrophtography photosensor and this photoreceptor of preparation, and formation method, imaging device and the handle box (process cartridge) that use this photoreceptor.
Background technology
Recently, Organophotoreceptor (OPCs) is because its superperformance and advantage have replaced inorganic photoreceptor to be widely used in duplicating machine, fax, laser printer and their composite set.The performance that it is good and the object lesson of advantage comprise: (1) optical property, for example the absorbing light wavelength of wide region and a large amount of absorbing light; (2) electrical property, for example high sensitivity and stable polarizability; (3) material is selected; (4) good manufacturability; (5) low cost; (6) avirulence, or the like.
On the other hand, recently along with imaging device is more and more littler, the diameter of photoreceptor is also more and more littler.In addition, because imaging device forms image and service free at a relatively high speed, thereby require photoreceptor to have high durability.In this respect, Organophotoreceptor generally has the soft top layer that is formed by low-molecular-weight charge transporting material and inactive polymkeric substance, therefore Organophotoreceptor generally has when reusing in electrophotographic processes, is easy to produce the shortcoming of abrasion with image developer and with clearer.In addition, owing to require high-quality image, the particle diameter of toner-particle is more and more littler, and thereupon, for improving cleanability, cleaning blade (cleaning blade) must have higher rubber hardness and contact pressure, and it has also accelerated the abrasion to photoreceptor.The abrasion of this photoreceptor has damaged its electrical property, for example light sensitivity and polarizability, and generation abnormal image, for example image density deterioration and background fouling.When the local abrasion of photoreceptor, because defective cleaning can produce the image with blackstreak.At present, because this abrasion and infringement need to change photoreceptor.
Therefore, the essential wear extent of Organophotoreceptor that reduces is so that obtain high durability.This is the problem that presses for solution in this field most.
The method that is used to improve the photoreceptor wearing quality comprises: (1) Japanese publication 56-48637 discloses the photoreceptor that uses the bonding agent of sclerosis on the top layer; (2) Japanese publication 64-1728 discloses the photoreceptor that uses charge transfer polymerization thing material; (3) Japanese publication 4-281461 discloses the photoreceptor that the inorganic filler of dispersion is arranged in the top layer.(1) use the photoreceptor of the bonding agent of sclerosis in, it helps to improve rest potential, and because the bad solubleness of bonding agent and charge transporting material and impurity (for example polymerization initiator and unreacted residue) has reduced image density.(2) use the photoreceptor and the top layer in (3) of charge transfer polymerization thing material to have the photoreceptor that disperses inorganic filler in, the two has wearing quality to a certain extent, but all can not be fully satisfactory.In addition, there is the photoreceptor that disperses inorganic filler on the top layer in (3), and it helps to improve rest potential, and owing to there is capture on inorganic filler surface, image density reduces.(1) any photoreceptor in (3) does not have the comprehensive durability that is entirely satisfactory, for example electric durability and mechanical robustness.
For improving the wearing quality of photoreceptor in (1), Jap.P. 3262488 discloses a kind of photoreceptor that contains the hardening polyurethane acrylate.Yet although Jap.P. 3262488 discloses the photosensitive layer that comprises the hardening polyurethane acrylate, it only discloses wherein can comprise charge transporting material, and does not have to disclose its concrete example.When only comprising the low-molecular-weight charge transporting material in the photosensitive layer, low-molecular-weight charge transporting material and hardening polyurethane acrylate are immiscible, and the low-molecular-weight charge transporting material is separated, and these can cause the physical strength deterioration of the photoreceptor that makes, for example cracking.In addition, Jap.P. 3262488 discloses to improving solubleness and comprised polycarbonate resin in photosensitive layer.Yet the reduction of hardening polyurethane acrylate content has caused the not enough of photoreceptor wearing quality.The photoreceptor that does not comprise charge transporting material in the top layer is thin for the current potential deterioration of radiation component, thereby has than short life.In addition, the charging potential of this photoreceptor has bad stability for environment.
As the wear-proof technique of the alternative a kind of photosensitive layer of above-mentioned technology, Jap.P. 3194392 discloses and has used the coating fluid that is formed by the monomer with carbon-to-carbon double bond, the charge transporting material with carbon-to-carbon double bond and adhesive resin to prepare the method for electric charge migrating layer.Adhesive resin comprises: contain carbon-to-carbon double bond, and can with the adhesive resin of charge transporting material reaction, and neither contain carbon-to-carbon double bond also not with the adhesive resin of charge transporting material reaction.This photoreceptor has good wearing quality and electrical property.Yet, when adhesive resin do not have with charge transporting material (for example, acrylic polymers, styrene polymer, acrylate styrol copolymer (acrylic styrene copolymer), vibrin, polycarbonate resin and epoxy resin) reactive the time, the bonded amount that contains the monomer of carbon-to-carbon double bond and contain between the charge transporting material of carbon-to-carbon double bond reduces, and causes the photosensitive layer cross-linking density not enough.In addition, because adhesive resin itself does not have toughness, thereby the photosensitive layer that obtains does not have gratifying wearing quality.
Japan publication 2000-66425 discloses a kind of photosensitive layer that comprises sclerosis hole (positive hole) migration compound, and this compound contains two or more chain polymerization functional group in same molecule.Yet because photosensitive layer includes the loose hole transporting material that contains two or more chain polymerization functional group, hardening compound distortion can occur and internal stress increases, thereby makes the top layer become coarse and cracking takes place, and causes the photoreceptor poor durability of gained.
Japan publication 2004-302450,2004-302451 and 2004-302452 disclose a kind of crosslinked electric charge migrating layer, the simple function radical polymerization compound sclerosis that will not have three or polyfunctional free yl polymerizating monomer of charge migration structure and have the charge migration structure in this electric charge migrating layer, this simple function radical polymerization compound with charge migration structure have improved the permanance of the machinery of electric charge migrating layer and electricity and have prevented this slabbingization.Yet, when the crosslinked top layer of preparation, in order to obtain high-wearing feature, containing the acrylic monomer sclerosis that a large amount of acrylic functional are rolled into a ball.Because the acrylic material of sclerosis has big volumetric contraction, make top layer and following photosensitive layer adhesiveness deficiency.When this type of photoreceptor is used for when it has applied very the imaging device of great machinery stress, separate with photosensitive layer on crosslinked top layer, causes keeping enough wearing qualities for a long time.
Japan publication 2001-183857 and 2001-183858 disclose the preparation method who prepares the coating fluid that is used for photoreceptor, this coating fluid comprises the structural unit with the transportable property of electric charge, can form the resin bed that combines with organopolysiloxane resins on its crosslinked top layer.The coating fluid per unit weight contains many polymer functional groups, and can form harder crosslinked top layer.Yet the volumetric contraction of this hardened material is so significantly, to such an extent as to crosslinked top layer and lower floor's adhesion are relatively poor.That is, crosslinked top layer is easy to separate with photosensitive layer, causes keeping long-term enough wearing qualities.In addition, according to electrostatic stabilization, this crosslinked top layer can not thicken, thereby causes obtaining gratifying wearing quality.
Owing to these reasons, need to obtain a kind of photoreceptor, and obtain long-term high quality graphic with excellent durability and stable electrical character.

Because prevent the separation and the wearing and tearing on top layer and the permanance of improving the top layer, it is down 1-20mPas and the radical polymerization compound that does not possess the charge migration structure at 25 ℃ that bonding coat preferably includes viscosity.
When not being formed for improving adhering mode betwixt, the top layer is shunk and is had a very big internal stress when three-dimensional network in the top layer forms.Therefore, when inner abrasion took place on the top layer, cracking took place and separates from photosensitive layer in the top layer, thereby causes the top layer rapid wearing.Bonding coat has improved the adhesiveness between top layer and photosensitive layer, because the sclerosis of the height on top layer, adhesiveness reduces.Form bonding coat by following steps: comprising that the adhesive resin that is used for above-mentioned photosensitive layer, three or the polyfunctional free yl polymerizating monomer that do not have the charge migration structure, 25 ℃ of following viscosity are that 1-20mPas and the coating fluid that do not have the radical polymerization compound of charge migration structure and randomly have a simple function radical polymerization compound of charge migration structure are coated to photosensitive layer; Apply the top layer coating fluid; With luminous energy these coating fluids that harden.

Bonding coat of the present invention is to be made by the coating fluid that comprises low viscosity and do not have a radical polymerization compound of charge migration structure.That is, having low viscous radical polymerization compound is a kind of solvent, and when adhering to CTL surperficial, radical polymerization compound moves in CTL and dissolves CTL simultaneously.Simultaneously, the top layer comprises three or multifunctional free yl polymerizating monomer with charge migration structure, to have wearing quality.Three or multifunctional free yl polymerizating monomer have high viscosity and permeate CTL deficiently.Yet, when with move to bonding coat among the CTL when crosslinked, obtained the bond effect of CTL, and thought that the top layer is firmly bonding with CTL.
When the viscosity of radical polymerization compound during less than 1mpas, can't be formed uniformly bonding coat to such an extent as to the flowability of compound is very high, thereby cause adhesiveness inconsistent under 25 ℃.When viscosity during greater than 20mPas, radical polymerization compound can't move in CTL, thereby causes bond strength not enough.
Radical polymerization compound is preferably dual functional.When compound was simple function, keyed jointing point (bonding site) was to such an extent as to be that adhesive capacity is not enough so less.When compound is three or when polyfunctional,, thereby cause adhesiveness not enough to such an extent as to too high this radical polymerization compound of viscosity can't permeate CTL fully.
