Abstract:
1. A method for producing an electrophotographic photoconductor comprising: forming a cross-linked layer by curing at least a radically polymerizable compound by irradiation with light, wherein the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the surface temperature over the entire surface of the electrophotographic photoconductor, measured just before completion of curing for the formation of the cross-linked layer, is within 30° C., and wherein the electrophotographic photoconductor comprises: a support; and the cross-linked layer formed over the support, wherein the cross-linked layer comprises a cured material of a cross-linked layer composition containing at least the radically polymerizable compound, and wherein when the photoconductor is exposed at a field static power of 0.53 mw and exposure energy of 4.0 erg/cm wherein the electrophotographic photoconductor is a hollow electrophotographic photoconductor and a heating medium exists in the hollow space of the electrophotographic photoconductor during curing for the formation of the cross-linked layer, wherein the heating medium is water.
