Definitions
- the invention relates to electrophotographic recording material comprising an electrically conductive layer support, optionally an insulating intermediate layer and a photoconductive layer comprising at least one charge carrier-producing and charge-transporting layer, binder and conventional additive-containing layer.
- it relates to a recording material with a charge generation layer and charge transport layer.
- Photoconductive layers are e.g. known from German Offenlegungsschriften 21 08 935, 21 08 938, 21 08 944, 21 08 958, 21 08 968, 21 08 984 and 21 08 992.
- the mechanical properties are disadvantageous in that the polyvinylcarbazole used and mainly described in the form of a charge transport layer is not very flexible and, because of its large molecular weight and its chemical nature, is only slightly compatible or miscible with binders and resins.
- the adhesion of such layer systems to the electrically conductive substrate is insufficient for practical purposes. The use of these materials is therefore limited to photoconductive arrangements that are not mechanically resilient.
- an electrophotographic recording material comprising an electrically conductive layer support, optionally an insulating intermediate layer and a photoconductive layer with a charge-generating compound and charge-transporting compound, binder and conventional additives or a photoconductive layer consisting of a layer optionally containing a binder with charge carrier Compound and a layer with charge-transporting compound, binder and conventional additives and is characterized in that the recording material is worked with a 75 to 250, thick layer support as a photoconductor tape, and that it contains a cellulose nitrate as a binder, which has a viscosity of 400 ⁇ 25 cPoises at concentrations between 4 and 12 percent in 5% aqueous acetone according to DIN 53 179 (standard type 4-12), preferably between 4 and 9 percent (standard type 4-9).
- electrophotographic recording material can be made available which, compared to materials with the previously known and customary binders and with great flexibility, has significantly improved photosensitivity and an extraordinarily low residual charge, both with continuous exposure and particularly with flash exposure.
- the materials according to the invention allow the materials according to the invention to be used for mechanically strong photoconductor tapes which run in a relatively fast cyclic copying process, especially under flash exposure.
- the recording material is repeatedly passed over rollers and tested in a bending stress test, usually 5000 times.
- the photoconductive layer of the recording material according to the invention can be present in a single layer or as a photoconductive system in a multilayer.
- the arrangement of the photoconductive layer in a simple layer has the advantage of a simpler method of manufacture in itself (FIG. 1).
- the arrangement in separate charge carrier generating layer and charge transport layer has the advantage of the compact arrangement of the particles and the optimal charge carrier generation rate (FIGS. 2-4).
- cellulose nitrates are often mentioned with the list of further cellulose esters and ethers (cf. US Pat. No. 3,152,895, column 2, lines 46 to 48; US Pat. No. 3 652 268, column 4, line 34; GB - A - 944 941, page 2, lines 104/105; CH - A - 564 797, column 2, lines 26 to 28).
- the exceptional special position of cellulose nitrates in terms of flexibility and photo sensitivity properties is completely surprising.
- Number 1 indicates the electrically conductive layer support
- number 2 shows the charge generation layer
- number 3 indicates the charge transport layer
- number 4 indicates the adhesion-improving intermediate layer.
- Section 5 shows layers which represent a charge generation layer in dispersion.
- Numeral 6 shows a photoconductive layer consisting of charge-transporting compound, charge carrier-producing compound and binder, etc.
- Aluminum foil preferably also transparent, aluminum-vapor-coated polyester foil or aluminum-clad polyester foil with a thickness of up to 300 ⁇ m, is preferably used as the electrically conductive layer carrier, but any other sufficiently conductive carrier material can also be used.
- the layer support is a flexible endless belt and can also consist of nickel or steel etc. According to the invention, a layer support is used which is largely rigid transversely to the direction of travel and is flexible and dimensionally stable along the direction of travel. In addition to a band made of metal, which already fulfills these conditions very well at thicknesses of 100-200 ⁇ m, aluminum-vapor-coated polyester films of sufficient thickness are used, mainly in the range of 75-250 ⁇ m.
- straps can be formed with layers as a layer carrier, which are necessary for use in high-speed copying machines.
- the insulating intermediate layer 4 can consist of organic material or optionally also a thermally, anodically or chemically produced aluminum oxide intermediate layer, and in addition to promoting adhesion, it has the aim, for example, of reducing the charge carrier injection from the layer carrier into the photoconductive layer in the dark by its arrangement. On the other hand, it does not hinder the flow of charge during the exposure process.
- Natural or synthetic resin binders can be used for the intermediate layer, such as, for example, polyamide resins, polyvinylphosphonic acid, polyurethanes or polyester resins. Its thickness can be up to 5 ⁇ m, while thicknesses of aluminum oxide layers mostly range from 0.01-1 ⁇ m.
- Such inorganic or organic substances are used as charge-generating compounds, as have been known for this purpose up to now.
- This subheading includes dyes or amorphous selenium e.g. in the form of vapor deposition layers.
- the dyes used or inorganic substances to be mixed, e.g. Tellurium particularly determine the spectral sensitivity of the photoconductive layer.
- the application of a homogeneous, densely packed dye layer as a charge carrier generating layer is known and is obtained by evaporating the dye onto the carrier in vacuo.
- the dyes can be vaporized without decomposition under relatively favorable conditions (10- 3- 10- 5 Torr, 250-400 ° C heating temperature).
- the temperature of the carrier is below 50 ° C.
- An advantageous layer thickness range of the evaporated dye is between 0.005 and 2 ⁇ m, but is particularly preferred between 0.005 and 1 ⁇ m, since the adhesive strength and homogeneity of the evaporated dye are particularly favorable here.
- the production of the charge carrier-producing layer with a uniform thickness can also be achieved by other coating techniques, for example by mechanically rubbing the finely powdered material into the electrically conductive layer carrier, by chemical deposition of a leuco base to be oxidized, by electrolytic or electrochemical processes or also by gun spray technique or by applying from a solution and drying the same.
- homogeneous, well covering dye layers with thicknesses of the order of 0.1-3 ⁇ m by thickness are also possible by dispersing the dyes in a binder according to the invention and by coating the electrically conductive substrate (Layer 5 in Fig. 4).
- the use of highly viscous cellulose nitrates is particularly advantageous, because during grinding a very good distribution of the pigments (small grain size) is achieved during the coating.
- the ratio of charge generating substance to binder can vary within wide limits. Pre-coatings with a dye content of over 50% and a correspondingly high optical density are preferred. This achieves the use of dyes which are less thermally stable, such as azo or bisazo dyes, and which at the same time have an adhesion-promoting effect.
- charge-transporting compounds are used as the photoconductor. These are primarily organic compounds that have an extensive n-electron system. These include both monomeric and polymeric aromatic or heterocyclic compounds.
- the monomers used are in particular those which have at least one dialkylamino group or two alkoxy groups.
- Heterocyclic compounds such as oxdiazole derivatives according to DE - B - 10 58 836, such as 2,5-bis (4'-diethylaminophenyl) oxdiazole-1,3,4, have proven particularly useful.
- Suitable monomers are, for example, triphenylamine derivatives, more highly condensed aromatic compounds such as pyrene, benzo-fused heterocycles, and also pyrazoline or imidazole derivatives according to DE-C-10 60 714 and DE-C-11 06 599; this subheading also includes triazole, thiadiazole and oxazole derivatives, as are known from German patents 1060260, 12 99 296, 11 20 875.
- Formaldehyde condensation products with various aromatics such as, for example, condensates of formaldehyde and 3-bromopyrene in accordance with DE-A-21 37 288 have proven themselves as polymers.
- the charge transport layer has practically no photosensitivity in the visible range of approximately 420-750 nm. It preferably consists of a mixture of an electron donor compound as a charge-transporting compound in a mixture with a resin binder if the recording material is to be negatively charged. It is preferably transparent, but this is not necessarily the case if the electrically conductive substrate is transparent.
- the charge transport layer has a high electrical resistance and prevents the discharge of electrostatic charge in the dark. When exposed, it transports the generated charges, whereby it is assumed that the polar (charged) excited state of the donor molecule is reduced and / or non-polar ground state is increased due to the increased polarity of the binder (electron-attracting nitro groups in the cellulose nitrate).
- the added binder influences both the mechanical behavior, such as abrasion, flexibility, film formation, etc., and the electrophotographic properties, such as photosensitivity, residual charge, etc.
- film-forming compounds such as polyester resins, polyvinyl chloride / polyvinyl acetate, have been used as binders.
- Copolymers, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, silicone resins, reactive resins, DD lacquers, polycarbonates and acrylates or methacrylates etc. are used.
- the viscosity is determined in Ubbelohde viscometers with different capillaries 1-111 at 25 ° C and a solids concentration of 10% (DIN 51 562). Then the viscosity of the binder batches in tetrahydrofuran is well above 50 cSt.
- the mixing ratio of the charge transporting compound to the binder can vary.
- Films with a high proportion of cellulose nitrates can also only be charged to a low degree on a conductive support; by adding charge-transporting compounds, however, charging can be done Gradually improve and stabilize with increasing content, ie dark discharge is reduced.
- the preferred content of cellulose nitrate to charge transporting compound ranges from 20 to 60 parts by weight to 40 to 80 parts by weight. Too large a proportion of monomers adversely affects flexibility, so that in particularly preferred, flexible embodiments the ratio of cellulose nitrate to charge-transporting compound is between 30 to 50 parts by weight to 50 to 70 parts by weight.
- the cellulose nitrate content lies in the lower range indicated.
- the transport layers with monomers from charge-transporting compounds are amorphous according to X-ray goniometer measurements.
- the respective requirements of the recording material according to the invention for use in a copying machine can be met within a wide range by different adjustment of the photoconductive layer with regard to the viscosity of the cellulose nitrate and with regard to the proportion of the charge-transporting compound.
- the layer thickness of the photoconductive layer is in a range which corresponds to a layer weight of approximately 5 to 50 g / m 2 .
- layer thicknesses in the range from 0.005 to 2 ⁇ m, preferably 0.005 to 1 ⁇ m or in the range from 2 to 20 ⁇ m, preferably 3 to 10 ⁇ m are suitable.
- layer thicknesses in the range from 0.01 to 3 ⁇ m, preferably 0.1 to 1 ⁇ m, are suitable.
- the specified limits can be extended upwards or downwards on a case-by-case basis.
- Leveling agents such as silicone oils, wetting agents, in particular nonionic substances, plasticizers of different compositions, such as, for example, based on chlorinated hydrocarbons or based on phthalic acid esters are added to the photoconductive layer as customary additives. If necessary, sensitizers and / or acceptors can also be added to the charge transport layer, but only to the extent that the optical transparency of the charge transport layer is not significantly impaired.
- the pigment dye N, N'-dimethyl-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide is placed on an aluminum-vapor-coated polyester film of 75 .mu.m thick in a vacuum evaporation system at 10- 4- 10- 5 Torr within 2 minutes at approx . Evaporated at 280 ° C.
- the distance between the evaporator source and the substrate is about 20 cm.
- the homogeneously evaporated dye layer has a layer weight in the range of 100-200 mg / m 2 , the carrier being completely covered.

- a rubber drive roller of approx. 80 mm 0
- a replaceable steel roller with a diameter of 12, 18 or 25 mm as standard.
- the photoconductor layer is exposed to an increased bending stress, so that hairline cracks can occur on the surface under this stress. This formation of hairline cracks is advantageously observed in the dark under oblique angles.
- a charge transport layer composition comprising 50 parts by weight of TO, 25 parts by weight of polyester resin and 25 parts by weight of vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymer is applied in a layer thickness of 9-10 g / m 2 to a dye layer according to Example 1 and subjected to the bending stress test. Thereafter, at 25 mm roller diameter and 5000 revolutions, none at all in the photoconductive layer on polyester film 75 ⁇ m thick, short hairline cracks with 125 ⁇ m thick and very strong and long hairline cracks on the 190 ⁇ m thick polyester film. In addition, with a roller diameter of 18 mm and a carrier thickness of 75, hairline cracks already occur.
