6 Claims. (CI. 96-15) When used, the photoconductive insulating layer is first electrically charged as with a corona discharge so that the coating has a uniform positive or negative charge on its The plate is then exposed to a light image which activates the photoconductive compound. The charge density remaining at any point on the photoconductive insulating layer is inverse y proportional to the intensity of illumination at that point during the exposure. The non-visible charge pattern or image is thereafter developed with an electrostatically attracta'ble toner in a known manner. The developed image, composed of colored pigment, together with a thermoplastic resin, is subsequently fixed by heating, or in the case of liquid toners by the air oxidation of the drying oils.
In recent years, many investigations have been made with respect to the nature of suitable photoconductive materials. Most notable among the photoconductive substances hitherto used in electrophotographic process have been inorganic materials such as zinc oxide and selenium.
The present invention is based on the finding that the TSPD compounds are excellent photoconductive materials for use in the preparation of electrophotographic plates. These compounds have good photoconductivity and are particularly suitable for the preparation of lithographic plates as well as reproduction papers for use in desk type oilice copying devices or in electrophotographic printing. The compounds of this class are, in general, easily prepared, stable compounds with a long shelf life and are soluble in most common resin binder-solvent systems so that they can be readily applied to a supporting substrate.
The nature of this invention will become clear from the following description and examples, made with refereuce to the drawings attached to and forming a part of this specification.
In the drawings:
'FIG. 1 illustrates the class of photoconductive TSPD compounds of interest, and
'FIG. 2 schematically depicts the electrophotographic plate of this invention.
The TSPD compounds are used according to this invention in association with clear resinous film-forming polymeric binders having high dielectric characteristics such as a polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinyl ether, polyacrylic ester, or any other natural or synthetic polymeric substance having the proper electrical characteristics. The organic photoconductor and resinous polymer are dissolved in a sutiable organic solvent such 3,314,788 Patented Apr. 18, 1967 as benzene, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, chloroform or methylene chloride. Mixtures of two or more photoconductive substances can be used, as well as mixtures of two or more mutually miscible soltransparent, radiant energy.
The electrophotographic plate or sheet of this invention comprises a support carrying a photoconductive insulating layer which layer consists of a suitable resinous binder and at least 10 weight percent of the TSPD compound having the formula illustrated in drawings. R in the formula is improve some other ferred radicals in the radicals. The benzyl only once.
It is to be noted that the phenylene ring is unsubstituted as substitution would tend to destroy photoconductivity because of steric hindrance of the planar configuration of the amine groups.
The preferred compounds are white and have a melt ing point in the range of 50 to 160 C. They are soluble to the extent of at least 2.5 grams in milliliters of chloroform at 25 C.
Symmetrical N,N,N'N' tetrabenzyl p phenylenediamine is a preferred example of the TSPD compounds because of its ease of preparation and excellent properties. However, the alkyl derivatives will produce a photoconductive coating that responds excellently to ultra-violet light without the need of adding sensitizers to the coating.
The TSPD compounds can be prepared by condensing the appropriate alkyl halide and paraphenylenediamine in solution with heating. The chloro alkyl halides are preferred. It is important to note that the TSPD compound is the reaction product of a primary aryl diamiue and an alkyl halide and is not the reaction product of a secondary diarylamine and an aryl halide. The latter reaction besides being difficult and expensive gives phenyl instead of benzyl derivatives.

Pre- Z position are methyl and halogen radicals are preferably substituted The spectral sensitivity of the electrophotographic plates can be shifted into sitivity increased by the addition of dyes, to such an ex- The invention is further illustrated in the following specific examples, without being limited thereto:
Example I N,N,NN, tetrabenZyl-para-phenylene diamine was prepared and purified as follows: Potassium hydroxide was dissolved in ethanol. 76 grams of benzyl chloride and 10.8 grams of p-phenylenedia mine where mixed in a 500 ml. Erlenmeyer flask with the alcohol solution (containing 9 grams of KOH). The flask was heated on a steam :bath and a vigorous but controllable reaction took place. An additional 27 grams of KOH in ethanol was added over a -minute period, along with enough extra ethanol to keep the system mobile. The reaction product was crystallized after A of an hour by cooling and adding water. The crystals were filtered and washed thoroughly with water and 3060 petroleum ether, which removed large amounts of blackish material. The washed crystals were dried, dissolved in chloroform and decolorized with carbon black, followed by filtration through a Celite filter pad. The solution was then heated and ethanol was added to precipitate the compound as white needles (M.P. 145.5l46.0 C.). The first crop was 36.3 grams, a 77.6% yield (theoretical yield was 46.8 grams).
A coating composition is prepared by mixing 1 part by weight of the TSPD compound, 0.0007 part by weight of a sensitizing dye such as Rhodamine B Base; 3 parts by weight of a resinous binder such as Butvar B-76 (a polyvinyl butyral resin; Shawinigan Resins Corp.) and parts by Weight of CHCl as a solvent. This coating solution is applied to a suitable paper or foil substrate for example, Silkote Offset, a high quality printing paper manufactured and sold by the S. D. Warren Paper Company. The amount applied is 2-15 pounds (dry weight) per ream (500 sheets x 38"), preferably in the range of from 4-6 pounds. The coated paper is either air dried or even dried to remove the solvent carrier.
T 0 make a print, the coated paper is either positively or negatively charged under a corona discharge and then exposed under a positive or negative transparency to a light source such as a 60-watt tungsten lamp. After this exposure, a dry electrostatically attractable resinous toner colored with a pigment such as carbon black is applied to the sheet. For best results this is done in reduced light area, preferably under red light. The toner thus applied adheres to the parts of the coating which have not been exposed to the light and a positive image appears. The imaged sheet is heated for a short period at l00130 C. to fuse the resin of the toner and fix the image.
N,N,N'N', tetra (4-chlorobenzyl)-p-phenylenediamine (M.P. 141.5-l43 C.) and N,N,NN' tetra (Z-chlorobenzyl)-p-phenylenediamine (M.P. l42145 C.) have been similarily prepared and applied. The electrophotographic plates based thereon performed equally as well.
Example 11 Example III Another suitable coating composition is:
3 grams polystyrene (8-666, Dow Chemical);
1 gram N,N' diisopropyl, N,N' dibenzyl p-phenylene diamine;
10 cc. toluene.
The following table gives the ratio of ingredients that can be used in preparing a coating solution according to this invention.
Ingredients: Parts by weight Resin 1 TSPD compound 0.5 to 0.1 Solvent 4 to 10 If aluminum, plastic foil, or a suitable grade of paper is used as a carrier for the coating, the images can be used as master copies for any sort of lithographic duplicating process, provided the non-imaged areas are treated to make them ink repellent and water receptive. In this process, for example, a sheet of paper which has been prepared to have a hydrophilic surface, e.g., a surface coating composed of titanium dioxide, carboxymethylhydroxyethyl cellulose or similar water soluble cellulose derivative, and melamine formaldehyde resin (see US. Patents 2,778,735 and 2,778,301) is coated with a solution consisting of 1 g. of the TSPD compound of Example I, 2.5 g. of B-76 resin, 50 mg. of Rhodamine B, and 50 ml. of chloroform. The sheet is dried, then charged and imaged in the above manner and fused at -160 C. The surface of the sheet is washed with methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or mixtures of same, thereby exposing again the hydrophilic surface in all areas but the hydrophobic imaged areas. The sheet thus formed maybe used in any type of hydrophilic-hydrophobic lithographic duplicating process.
The TSPD compounds are unusual in that they are white while still having good electrophotoconductive properties. Many other photoconductive compounds are colored because of chromophoric groups.
