Abstract:
1. An imaging member, comprising: a substrate; a charge generating layer disposed on the substrate; a first charge transport layer disposed on the charge generating layer; an overcoat layer disposed on the first charge transport layer; an anti-curl back coating layer disposed on the substrate opposite to the first charge transport layer; and optionally a ground strip layer disposed on one edge of the imaging member, wherein at least one of the first charge transport layer, the overcoat layer, the anti-curl back coating layer, and the ground strip layer is formed from a mixed resin binder dissolved in a solvent, wherein the resin binder comprises a polycarbonate resin embedded with nano-poly(4,4′-isopropylidene)carbonate particles such that the resulting layer or layers are formed with embedded nano-poly(4,4′-isopropylidene)carbonate particles and further wherein the nano-poly(4,4′-isopropylidene)carbonate particles have a particle size of from about 1 nanometer to about 250 nanometers.
