Conventional technology Photoreceptors made of inorganic photoconductive materials such as selenium, selenium-tellurium, cadmium sulfide, and zinc oxide have been widely used as laminated electrophotographic photoreceptors. Although research into organic photoconductive materials with characteristics such as the ability to select compounds that exhibit photoconductivity in a wavelength range is progressing, it is difficult to form a layered electrophotographic photoreceptor using an organic photoconductive material in the photosensitive layer. It has advantages such as being easy to use, highly flexible, and has a large degree of freedom in design.It is inexpensive and non-polluting. Therefore, in order to improve these problems, a laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor was proposed in which the photosensitive layer was formed by separating the functions of a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer.This laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor was put into practical use. The charge transport agents commonly used in the industry are electron-donating substances such as pyrazoline, hydrazone, and oxazole.The charge transport layer is of the hole transport type, so if the charge transport layer is laminated on the charge generation layer, it can be used with a negative charge. These electrophotographic photoreceptors are commonly used for charging, exposure,
Strength that is repeatedly used in the processes of development, transfer, cleaning, and static elimination In this series of processes, positive charging is more stable in corona discharge than negative charging, and the amount of ozone generated is small, resulting in less ozone oxidation. Inorganic photoreceptors such as selenium and selenium-tellurium alloys that have been used in the past are used with positive charging, but organic photoreceptors that can be used with positive charging have little deterioration of characteristics (~). There is a strong demand for photoreceptors (in order to achieve positive charging with a structure in which a charge transport layer is laminated on a normal charge generation layer), an electron-accepting substance such as trinitrofluorenone may be used as a charge transport agent. (b) These electron-accepting substances are not generally available because they have a high mobility, and they are chemically unstable and have carcinogenic and other harmful effects (l Therefore, they are not commonly used). In order to enable positive charging using a donor substance, a structure in which a charge transport layer and a charge generation layer are laminated in this order on a conductive support is proposed. In this case, charge transport from the charge generation layer Charge transport layer/charge generation A proposal is made for a three-layer structure with a protective layer of a thin resin film on top of this layer, or a four-layer structure consisting of a charge transport layer, a charge generation layer, a charge injection blocking layer, and a surface protection layer.Also, a charge transport layer and a charge generation layer. In the two-layer structure, proposals have been made to increase the resin ratio in the charge generation layer to make the film thicker to about 5 μm to improve mechanical strength, and to maintain sensitivity by adding a charge transport agent to the charge generation layer.

No. 5, etc.) is proposed, but it is not sufficient in terms of durability and environmental stability, such as wear resistance, scratches due to repeated use, and image blur due to moisture absorption and permeation, especially under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Or, there may be problems with image blurring.Also, these protective layers of thin resin films do not have sufficient durability, and -X. However, there is a method of using a protective layer in which a metal oxide is dispersed in a binder resin as a protective layer (for example,
39846, Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-121044, Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-223445, etc.) have also been proposed (
The metal oxide in the binder resin is insoluble in the binder resin and solvent, and its shape is like a lump, so even if the content in the protective layer is constant, the resistance value varies depending on the state of dispersion. The problem that the invention aims to solve is that it becomes unstable, and if the blending ratio, particle size, etc. are not finely controlled, it can cause environmental or repeated fluctuations in chargeability and residual potential. There are not many products that have satisfactory characteristics in terms of sensitivity and durability, but they are stable in the usage environment such as temperature and humidity, and have high durability against scratches and abrasion.
Furthermore, although it is desired to develop a laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor that can be used with positive charging and has a longer lifespan that satisfies the characteristics required of a laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor, the present invention (in view of the above-mentioned problems) has been proposed. Sensitive to static electricity
We have created a laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor that is stable against temperature and humidity, does not cause image blurring especially under high temperature and high humidity conditions, has high hardness and film strength even with a thin protective layer, and has excellent abrasion resistance and durability. Means for Solving the Four Problems The present invention (1) A charge transport layer, a charge generation layer, and a protective layer are laminated in this order on a conductive support, and the protective layer is thermosetting. The laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention contains a silicone resin, a urethane elastomer, and further hydrophobic silica. By stacking the layers in this order, it is positively charged and has sensitivity.

The elastomer-containing material not only improves abrasion resistance but also prevents the inherent moisture permeability of silicone resin, stabilizes the resistance of the protective layer under high temperature and high humidity, and improves image fading. By containing the urethane elastomer, it is possible to prevent cracks caused by curing shrinkage of the silicone resin during film formation and to improve adhesion with the lower layer. With curable silicone resin and urethane elastomer
Furthermore, by including hydrophobic silica, the hardness of the photoconductor surface is improved and the surface friction coefficient is reduced, increasing the durability and toner filming resistance of the photoconductor, and significantly improving the actual service life. The silica contained at the same time must be hydrophobic, and hydrophobic treatment prevents the adsorption of ions such as moisture and ozone products and improves image blurring under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Examples The laminated electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention will be described in detail below. is a hydrolyzate of an alkoxysilane and has a bifunctional or trifunctional silanol group, and examples of the alkyl group include methyl and phenyl groups. !The monomer is preferably one that is soluble in alcoholic solvents, so that it can be applied without corroding the underlying layer, and after the coating is formed, it can be condensed and hardened by heat treatment, resulting in a highly hard and highly durable film. Similarly, the reason why the urethane elastomer contained in the protective layer does not corrode the lower layer is desirably one that is soluble in alcohol-based solvents. , n-hexane, ethyl acetate, etc., and then 1-propanono-L, which has a higher boiling point than these solvents.

Highly purified silica with an average particle size of 5 to 50 nm is treated with an organosilicon compound such as organosilane or silicone oil, and preferably has a water absorption rate of 1% or less at a relative humidity of at least 80%. For example, silica may be reacted with dimethyldichlorosilane to replace the silanol groups on the silica surface with dimethylsilyl groups, or trimethylsilyl groups may be used. Protective layer ζ A coating solution containing a thermosetting silicone resin and a urethane elastomer dissolved in a solvent that dissolves both and further dispersing hydrophobic silica is applied onto the photosensitive layer using a conventional coating method.
After drying and then curing and forming by heat treatment, the heat treatment temperature is 80°C to 200°C. Considering the heat resistance of the photosensitive layer, it is preferably about 80°C to 120°C.
The thickness of the protective layer is 0. Force length of 1 to 5 μm Electrophotographic properties, contact! Especially when considering wear resistance, 0. 2 to 2 μm is preferable. Also, the ratio method of thermosetting silicone resin and urethane elastomer in the protective layer is 2:8 in terms of solid content weight ratio after drying.
~8:2 is preferable; if the ratio of silicone resin is small, the surface hardness will be poor, and if the ratio of silicone resin is too high, environmental stability will deteriorate, and image blurring may occur at high temperature and high humidity.
