Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrophotographic recording material composed of an electrically conductive layer support, optionally an adhesion-promoting insulating intermediate layer and at least one binder-containing photoconductive layer which contains a charge-generating compound and a pyrazoline derivative as charge-transporting compound.
- the invention particularly relates to a recording material in which the photoconductive layer consists of a charge generation and charge transport layer.
- the recording material according to the invention is also suitable for a lithographic printing form or printed circuit which can be produced by electrophotographic means if it consists of a correspondingly suitable electrically conductive layer support and a photoconductive layer with binders which can be stripped of alkali.
- DE-PS 32 46 036 corresponding to US-PS 4,567,125 1,5-diphenyl-3 p-methoxyphenyl pyrazoline and 1-phenyl-3 p-methylstyryl-5-p-tolylpyrazoline are also described in charge transport layers; the latter compound already tends to crystallize out after film formation, moreover its adhesion and its photosensitivity are still unsatisfactory.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to create a highly light-sensitive, electrophotographic recording material from preparatively very easily accessible photoconductor compounds of the pyrazolines, which adheres very well with high flexibility and has a very low sensitivity to pre-exposure.
- R1 and R 2.3 are hydrogen and R4, respectively.
- R5 Are halogen, chlorine and bromine being preferred, such as 1,3-diphenyl-5- (2-chlorophenyl) pyrazoline or 1,3-diphenyl-5- (2,4-dichlorophenyl) pyrazoline.
- the charge-transporting compounds of the general formula I can furthermore be halogen-substituted in the phenyl substituent in the 1-position.
- the pyrazoline derivatives according to the invention are exceptionally strongly fluorescent ( ⁇ FL ⁇ 500 nm), they can therefore also be used as fluorescent dyes, "laser dyes” and as optical brighteners, e.g. of PVC plastics.
- the charge transport compounds according to the invention have very good film formation with various binders and an extraordinarily low tendency to crystallize, even at a relatively high concentration.
- the films remain flexible and adhere very well, even in a double-layer arrangement.
- a number of pigments can be used as charge generation layers, in particular condensation products of perylene-3.4.9.10.-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride with alkylamines, arylamines, aralkylamines and o-aryldiamines, as indicated in the attached formula table II, are particularly advantageous for this purpose.
- the residual discharge level By adding certain electron acceptor compounds such as 9-bromanthracene, the residual discharge level and Improve consistency even more, especially in cyclical behavior.
- the ability to activate the charge-transporting compounds with halogenated anthracene or acridine derivatives in the 9 or 10 position is particularly advantageous.
- Position 1 indicates the electrically conductive layer support
- position 2 indicates the layer generating the charge carrier
- position 3 indicates the layer carrying the charges
- Position 4 represents an adhesion-promoting, insulating intermediate layer
- position 5 shows layers which indicate a charge-generating layer as a pigment layer in dispersion, for example with a binder
- Position 6 shows a photoconductive monolayer of dispersed pigment, photoconductor and binder.
- Aluminum foil optionally transparent, aluminum-coated, sputtered or aluminum-clad polyester foil, is preferably used as the electrically conductive layer support, but any other sufficiently conductive support material can also be used.
- the arrangement of the photoconductive system can also be on a drum, on flexible endless belts, for example made of nickel or steel etc., or on plates (for example made of aluminum).
- All materials known for this purpose such as aluminum, zinc, magnesium, copper plates or multi-metal plates, can be used as layer supports for the electrophotographic production of printing forms or printed circuits.
- Surface-coated aluminum foils have proven particularly useful.
- the surface finish consists of a mechanical or electrochemical roughening and, if necessary, a subsequent anodization and treatment with polyvinylphosphonic acid.
- an adhesion-promoting insulating intermediate layer optionally also a thermally, anodically or chemically produced aluminum oxide intermediate layer (FIG. 3, position 4), has the aim of reducing the charge carrier injection from the metal into the photoconductor layer in the dark. On the other hand, it should not hinder the flow of charge during the exposure process.
- the intermediate layer acts as a barrier layer, it also serves to improve the adhesion between the layer support surface and the pigment layer and the photoconductor layer and should be able to be stripped off water or alcohol-alkaline for the production of printing forms.
- Different natural or synthetic resin binders can be used for the intermediate layer, but preference is given to using materials which are good on egg ner metal, especially aluminum surface, adhere and little dissolve when applying further layers.
- These include polyamide resins, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl phosphonic acid, polyurethanes, polyester resins, furthermore polycarbonates, phenoxy resins, cellulose nitrates, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, furthermore copolymers of styrene and butadiene, (meth) acrylic acid esters and maleic anhydride.
- Binders such as polycarbonates, polyester resins and especially vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, which are also present in the charge transport layer, have proven particularly useful.
- the thickness of organic intermediate layers can be up to 5 ⁇ m, that of an aluminum oxide intermediate layer is generally in the range from 0.01 to 1 ⁇ m. Organic intermediate layers in this thickness range are also preferably applied.
- Layer 2 or 5 (FIGS. 2 to 4) has the function of a layer generating charge carriers; the pigment used determines the spectral photosensitivity of the photoconductive system through its absorption behavior.
- the following pigments can advantageously be used: Perylene-3.4.9.10.-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride and ⁇ diimide derivatives (for example Formula Table II, AC), bis- benzimidazole pigments such as cis- and trans-perinones (for example formulas E, F), also perylene-3.4.9.10.-tetracarboxylic acid benzimidazole derivatives (for example formula D), quinacridone and dioxazine derivatives, polynuclear quinones, for example 4.10 -Dibromanthanthrone (formula G, CI 59.300), flavanthrone etc., indigo and thioindigo pigments, benzothioxanthene derivatives according to DE-OS 23 28 727 (for example formula H), phthalocyanines (metal-containing CI 74.160 and metal-free CI 74.250) , for example ⁇ -Cu phthalocyanine etc., mono-, bis
- the application of a homogeneous, densely packed pigment layer is preferably obtained by evaporating the pigment onto the support in vacuo.
- the dye can be evaporated without decomposition under conditions of 1.33 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 to 10 ⁇ 8 bar and 240 to 290 ° C heating temperature.
- the temperature of the substrate is below 50 ° C. This gives layers with tightly packed dye molecules. This is advantageous over all other possibilities of producing very thin, homogeneous layers in that an optimal charge generation rate can be obtained in the pigment layer.
- the extremely finely dispersed distribution of the pigment enables a large concentration of excited dye molecules that inject charges into the transport layer.
- the charge transport through the pigment layer is not or only slightly hampered by binders.
- An advantageous layer thickness range of the vapor-deposited pigment is between 0.005 and 3 ⁇ m. A thickness range between 0.05 and 1.5 ⁇ m is particularly preferred since the adhesive strength and homogeneity of the vapor-deposited pigment are particularly favorable here.
- a uniform pigment layer thickness can also be achieved by other coating techniques. This subheading includes mechanical rubbing of the finely powdered material into the electrically conductive substrate, electrolytic or electrochemical processes or electrostatic spray technology.
- Well covering pigment layers with thicknesses of the order of 0.05 to 3 ⁇ m can also be obtained by grinding the pigment with binders, in particular with cellulose nitrates, epoxy resins, PVC / PVAC copolymers, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, polymethacrylates, polyvinyl acetates, polyurethanes, polyvinyl butyrals, polyvinyl carbonates Polyesters etc. as well as their mixtures and subsequent coating of these dispersions according to position 5 in FIG. 4 are produced.
- Thermal post-crosslinking binder systems such as reactive resins (DD lacquers) can also be used.
- the pigment / binder ratio can vary within wide limits, but preference is given to pigment primers with a pigment content of over 50% and a correspondingly high optical density.
- the charge-transporting layer 3 with the charge transport compounds according to the invention is preferably transparent and, without the pigment layer, has practically no photosensitivity in the visible range (450 to 750 nm). It consists of a mixture of an electron donor compound (organic photoconductor) with a binder. Layer 3 has a high electrical resistance of greater than 10 12 ⁇ . It prevents the flow of the preferably negative electrostatic charge in the dark; when exposed, it transports the charges generated in the pigment layer.
- the mixing ratio of the charge transporting compound to the binder can vary. However, the requirement for maximum photosensitivity, that is to say the largest possible proportion of charge-transporting compound, and to avoid crystallization to be avoided and increase in flexibility, that is to say the largest possible proportion of binders, set relatively certain limits.
- a mixing ratio of about 1: 1 parts by weight has generally proven to be preferred, but ratios between 4: 1 and 1: 4 are also suitable.
- the surprisingly low tendency towards crystallization of a number of the charge transport compounds according to the invention also permits organic photoconductor / binder ratios of 4: 1, in particular with polycarbonate, without crystallization taking place and the film-forming properties deteriorating.
- acceptors bring about a reduction in the residual discharge in the photoconductive system and also an improved constancy of the cyclic parameters, without the other good electrophotographic properties such as photosensitivity, charge acceptance, dark decay, pre-exposure sensitivity etc. being impaired. They are preferably contained in the charge transport layer in an amount of up to 10 percent by weight, based on the total coating.
- the photoconductive system preferably has, as electron acceptor compound, an anthracene or acridine which is substituted in the 9- and / or 10-position and has the following structure: in the X - hydrogen, halogen such as chlorine, bromine, iodine, the cyano group and Y - nitrogen or the grouping With Z - halogen, such as chlorine or bromine, or the cyano group mean.
- halogen such as chlorine, bromine, iodine
- Z - halogen such as chlorine or bromine, or the cyano group mean.
- Compounds which can be used with preference are 9,10-dibromoanthracene, 9,10-dichloroanthracene, 9-chloroanthracene, 9-bromoanthracene or 9-chloroacridine.
- Advantageous charge transport layers are composed of approximately 50-70 percent by weight charge transport compound, 20-40 percent by weight polycarbonate, approximately 10 percent by weight vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer and up to 6 percent by weight electron acceptor compound. With these settings, optimal copy quality is achieved even at higher temperatures and humidity. In addition, the pre-exposure sensitivity is surprisingly low.
- the added binder influences both the mechanical behavior, such as abrasion, flexibility, film formation, adhesion, etc., and to a certain extent the electrophotographic behavior, such as photosensitivity, residual charge and cyclical behavior under normal conditions, as well as under higher conditions Temperature (20 to 50 ° C) and humidity (greater than 80% relative humidity).
- Polyester resins polyvinyl acetates, polycarbonates, silicone resins, polyurethanes, epoxy resins, phenoxy resins, poly (meth) acrylates and copolymers (for Example with styrene), polystyrenes and styrene copolymers (for example with butadiene), cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose acetobutyrates etc., are used.
- the photoconductive layer preferably contains polyester resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, polycarbonates or mixtures thereof as binders.
- the photoconductive layer contains an alkali-strippable binder.
- Styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers sulfonyl urethanes, phenolic resins or copolymers of vinyl acetate with an unsaturated carboxylic acid are preferably used as alkali-releasable resins.
- thermally post-crosslinking binder systems such as reactive resins, which are composed of an equivalent mixture of hydroxyl-containing polyesters or polyethers and polyfunctional isocyanates, polyisocyanate-crosslinkable acrylate resins, melamine resins, unsaturated polyester resins, etc., have been used successfully.
- polyvinyl chloride copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, polyvinylidene chlorides, polyacrylonitriles and cellulose nitrates can be used, in particular also blended with the above binders; a proportion of up to about 10 percent by weight, based on the solids content of the charge transport layer, has proven to be advantageous.
- the layer thickness is also important for the optimal photosensitivity of the charge transport layer: layer thicknesses between approximately 2 and 25 ⁇ m are generally used. A thickness range of 5 to 18 ⁇ m has proven to be advantageous. However, if the mechanical requirements and the electrophotographic parameters allow for charging, exposure and development processes, 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, those based on chlorinated hydrocarbons or those based on phthalic acid esters are considered to be customary additives.
- photosensitivity of these photoconductor double layers is measured as follows (halogen UV lamp, exposure intensity approx. 3.5 ⁇ W / cm2):
