繰り返し使用される電子写真用感光体における中間層の
改良に関する。Detailed Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor, and more particularly, to improvement of an intermediate layer in an electrophotographic photoreceptor repeatedly used in PPC copiers, laser beam printers, digital copiers, etc. .
[従来技術]
一般に、電子写真感光体であって繰り返し使用されるも

。[Prior Art] In general, electrophotographic photoreceptors that are used repeatedly (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "photoreceptors") must have good charging properties (by preventing unnecessary charge injection and An intermediate layer made of a resin with relatively low resistance is provided between the substrate and the photosensitive layer in order to maintain charge acceptance) and to ensure good adhesion of the photosensitive layer to the substrate. .

重合ナイロンなどのポリアミド樹脂。Conventional intermediate layer resins include (a) water-soluble v! such as casein and polyvinyl alcohol; ! (b) Polyamide resins such as nylon and copolymerized nylon.

感度が低下するといった傾向がみられる。(c) Photoreceptors or thermosetting resins have been used, but photoreceptors with intermediate layers formed with these resins have high resistance at low humidity, resulting in increased residual charge and sensitivity. There is a tendency for this to decline.
こうした不都合を解消する手段として、中1m層に酸化

導電性ポリマーを添加すること(特開昭58−9574

ればならず、後者にあっては帯電性は悪くならないが感
度低下等が認められ実用上問題がある。As a means of resolving these inconveniences, it is possible to add conductive pigments such as indium oxide, tin oxide, and carbon to the middle 1m layer (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-93063), or to add a conductive polymer (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-93063). 58-9574
Publication No. 4) have been proposed. However, in the former case, the charging property decreases, so a second intermediate layer consisting only of resin must be formed between the conductive pigment-containing intermediate layer and the photosensitive layer, and in the latter case, the charging property decreases. Although the performance does not deteriorate, a decrease in sensitivity is observed, which poses a practical problem.
更に、感光層が電荷発生層と電荷輸送層との積層構成で

ことも提案されている。しかし、この感光体においても
繰り返し使用で帯電性の低下及び残留電位の上昇が認め
られ、前記感光体と同様改良することが求められている
。Furthermore, in so-called laminated photoreceptors in which the photosensitive layer has a laminated structure of a charge generation layer and a charge transport layer, moiré tends to occur due to multiple reflections between the substrate and the surface of the charge transport layer. It has also been proposed that the layer contain substances that scatter light. However, even in this photoreceptor, a decrease in chargeability and an increase in residual potential have been observed with repeated use, and similar to the photoreceptor described above, improvements are required.
[目 的コ

光体を提供するものである。[Purpose] An object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor that eliminates humidity dependence (residual potential increase at low humidity) without affecting the photoreceptor characteristics, and further improves deterioration of characteristics during repeated use. It is something to do.
[構 成]
本発明は導電性基体と感光層との間に中間層を有してな

間層がメタロセンを含有していることを特徴とする。[Structure] The present invention is an electrophotographic photoreceptor that has an intermediate layer between a conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer and is used repeatedly, characterized in that the intermediate layer contains a metallocene.
ちなみに、本発明者は中間層にメタロセンを添加させれ

。本発明はかかる知見に基づいて完成されたものである
。Incidentally, the present inventor has confirmed that the increase in residual potential in a low humidity environment can be suppressed by adding metallocene to the intermediate layer. The present invention was completed based on this knowledge.
以下に本発明をさらに詳細に説明すると、既述のように

As mentioned above, the photoreceptor of the present invention has a structure in which an intermediate layer and a photosensitive layer are sequentially laminated on a conductive substrate. Conductive substrates include aluminum, nickel, stainless steel, etc.; plastics with conductive pigments such as carbon dispersed; metals deposited on insulating supports (such as plastics or plastic films) or conductive paints. An example is a coated one.
中間層に含有される「メタロセン」は、シクロペンタジ
ェン環2個と各種遷移金属とで構成されるものである。The "metallocene" contained in the intermediate layer is composed of two cyclopentadiene rings and various transition metals.
メタロセンは遷移金属MがFe、Ti、V、Cr。In the metallocene, the transition metal M is Fe, Ti, V, or Cr.
