Description: TECHNICAL FIELD An object of the present invention is to provide novel polycarbonates useful for the production of crosslinked polycarbonate resins or graft polymers, and crosslinked polycarbonate resins obtainable by crosslinking the polycarbonate resins. The present invention also relates to electrophotographic photoreceptors, which have a photosensitive layer containing these polycarbonate resins as resin ingredients and maintain high mechanical strength and excellent electrophotographic properties during repeated uses for a long term. BACKGROUND ART While electrophotographic photoreceptors using inorganic photoconductive materials, such as selenium or α-silicon, have been used, organic electrophotographic photoreceptors (OPC) comprising a conductive substrate bearing a photosensitive layer comprising organic photoconductive materials and binder resins have been improved in performances, and their uses are increasing rapidly. Such organic electrophotographic photoreceptors include those of the laminate-type and the single-layer-type, the former having a photosensitive layer having at least a charge-generating layer (CGL), which generates charge on exposure, and a charge-transfer layer (CTL), which transfers the charge, the latter having a single-layer photosensitive layer containing a charge-generating substance and a charge-transfer substance both dispersed in a binder resin. Electrophotographic photoreceptors require that their sensitivity, electric properties and optical properties be accommodated to the directed electrophotographic processes. Particularly, photoreceptors for repeated uses should withstand the electrical and mechanical, external force applied directly on the surface layer, namely the layer farthest away from the substrate (typically, a conductive substrate), during corona electrification, toner development, transfer onto paper, cleaning and so on, to maintain a uniform image quality for a long time. Specifically, they should resist friction which wears or scores the surface, and should be hardly subject to surface deterioration due to the ozone generated during corona electrification at elevated temperatures. To meet such requirements, polycarbonate resins made from bisphenol A or bisphenol Z have been widely used as the binder resins in the photosensitive layer of organic electrophotographic photoreceptors because of their good compatibility with charge-transfer substances and high mechanical strength. However, even these polycarbonate resins are inferior to the layers of inorganic photoconductive materials in durability. To solve these problems, in Japanese Patent Application unexamined publication No. 4-179961 are proposed polycarbonates containing rigid units of copolymerized biphenol structure. The mechanical strength of the polycarbonates, however, is insufficient for the required abrasion resistance due to the poor tangling of molecular chains. Crosslinking polycarbonates are proposed as binder resin materials to further improve the durability of electrophotographic photoreceptors. For example, Japanese Patent Application Unexamined Publication No. 4-291348 (1992) discloses crosslinked-type electrophotographic photoreceptors which contain as binder resins crosslinked polycarbonates made from polycarbonates having unsaturated groups in the side chains through crosslinking. However, the structure of the polycarbonates to be crosslinked lacks rigidity, so the layer containing the crosslinked products is too fragile to improve abrasion resistance adequately. GB-A-842 264 discloses unsaturated polyesters of certain alkenyl-substituted aromatic dihydroxy compounds with dicarboxylic acids or carbonic acid. These polymers are adapted to be used as coating compositions or molding compositions for which would ageing resistance and resilience as well as mechanical strength are the required properties. FR-A-2 037 394 describes a photoconductive composition comprising recurring units of a dicarboxylic acid dichloride and of bisphenols having ketostyryl groups. EP-A-566 423 relates to electrophotographic photoconductors which comprise as a binder resin an aromatic polycarbonate having units of two different structural formulae I and II, each derived from different bisphenols. Japanese Patent Application Unexamined Publication Nos. 5-65320 (1993) and 6-41258 (1994) disclose the synthesis of graft polycarbonates by grafting vinyl monomers on polycarbonates having unsaturated end groups. There, however, is no suggestion to use the polycarbonates having unsaturated end groups for the production of the photosensitive layer of electrophotographic photoreceptors, nor to crosslink the polycarbonates to produce crosslinked-type electrophotographic photoreceptors excellent in electrophotographic properties and durability. Further, binder resins for electrophotographic photoreceptors are generally dissolved in solvents to prepare coating fluid for forming the photosensitive layer, and should not cause whitening nor gelation of the coating fluid. If the coating fluid whitens or sets to gel, the photosensitive layer may crystallize after coating and drying. In the crystallized areas, photo-decay does not occur and the charge remains as a residual potential, which appears as a picture defect. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION Under such circumstances, the present invention is directed to provide a novel polycarbonate resin which has crosslinking functional groups and is useful for the production of crosslinked polycarbonate resins or graft polymers, and to provide a novel crosslinked polycarbonate resin made from the polycarbonate resin through crosslinking. Another object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor having high plate wear and maintaining excellent electrophotographic properties for a long term, which is produced by using as a;binder resin material the novel polycarbonate resin that is well compatible with charge-transfer substances, does not whiten nor set to gel on dissolution in solvents, and forms crosslinked products with high surface hardness and good abrasion resistance. We have studied to solve these problems and have found that novel polycarbonate resins which are rigid and useful for the production of crosslinked polycarbonate'resins or graft polymers are obtainable by both the introduction of crosslinking functional groups and the introduction of a rigid central unit, such as direct bond or a fluorenylidene structure, in place of the common central carbon of bisphenols, and/or the introduction of a substituent restricting free rotation. It has also been found that among such polycarbonate resins, those having a specific range of reduced viscosity are well compatible with charge-transfer substances, cause no whitening nor gelation when dissolved in solvents, and give crosslinked products having high surface hardness and excellent abrasion resistance.

The polycondensation in the presence of an acid acceptor by using a carbonate precursor, for example, a carbonyl dihalide such as phosgene, a haloformate, such as chloroformate, or a carbonate compound, is ordinarily carried out in a solvent. In cases where a gaseous carbonate precursor, such as phosgene, is used, it is preferable to blow it into the reaction system. The amount of the carbonate precursor may be determined based on the stoichiometric ratio (equivalent) for the reaction. Examples of usable acid acceptors are alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, organic bases, such as pyridine, and mixtures thereof. The amount of the acid acceptor may be determined based on the stoichiometric ratio (equivalent) for the reaction. That is, it is desirable to use at least two equivalents, preferably 2 to 10 equivalents of the acid acceptor per mole (generally, one mole corresponds to two equivalents) of the total of dihydric phenols and diamines. Various solvents may be used, including the common solvents for the production of known polycarbonate resins, and may be used individually or as a solvent mixture. Typical solvents are hydrocarbons, such as toluene and xylene, and hydrocarbon halides, such as methylene chloride, chloroform and chlorobenzene. Interfacial polycondensation may also be carried out by using two solvents non-compatible with each other. To accelerate the polycondensation, it is desirable to add a catalyst, for example a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, or a quaternary ammonium salt, to the reaction system. A small amount of an antioxidant, such as sodium sulfite or hydrosulfide, may also be added according to demands. The reaction is generally carried out at a temperature of 0 to 150°C, preferably 5 to 40°C. The reaction may be carried out at a reduced pressure, atmospheric pressure or an applied pressure, and generally proceeds sufficiently at atmospheric pressure or at the pressure in the reaction system. The reaction time depends on the reaction temperature or the like, and is generally 0.5 minutes to 10 hours, preferably one minutes to two hours. The reduced viscosity of the product polycarbonate resin can be adjusted within the above-described range by various methods, for example, by optimizing the above-described reaction conditions or the amounts of the branching agents and endcappers. The product polycarbonate resin may optionally be treated mechanically (mixing, fractionation or the like) and/or chemically (polymer reactions, partial decomposition or the like), to obtain a polycarbonate of a directed reduced viscosity. 2.

These endcappers having unsaturated groups may be used together with endcappers having no unsaturated groups. [Crosslinked polycarbonate resins] The crosslinked polycarbonate resins of the present invention are produced by crosslinking the above-described polycarbonate resins of the present invention. All crosslinking functional groups of the polycarbonate resins to be crosslinked for the production of the crosslinked polycarbonate resins, preferably, are the same in kind or are derivatives of a group. Among the above-described polycarbonates, those with crosslinking functional groups having carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds can be crosslinked by common radical polymerizations with heat or irradiation with UV light, IR light, electron rays or microwave. Examples of thermal polymerization initiators suitable for the crosslinking with heat (thermal polymerization) include azo compounds, such as 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile and 2,2'-azo-di-(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), peroxides, such as benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, t-butyl perbenzoate and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, and persulfates, such as ammonium persulfate and potassium persulfate. Redox initiators, such as combinations of the above-described peroxides and cobalt naphthenate or aromatic amines, may also be used. Examples of photo-initiators suitable for the crosslinking with irradiation with UV light include benzoin and derivatives thereof, such as benzoin and benzoin methyl ether, 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)benzophenone, 2-chloroanthracene, 2-methylanthraquinone, thioxanthone, diphenyl disulfide and dimethyl dithiocarbamate, and the UV light intensity is generally 1 to 100 mJ/cm 2 . The crosslinking with ionizing radiation, such as electron rays, generally needs no catalysts, and the radiation intensity is generally 2 to 10 MeV. These crosslinkings may be carried out in the presence of a monomer having ethylene double bonds. The amount of the monomer is preferably 1 to 50 % by weight of the total of the polycarbonate of the present invention and the monomer. Examples of the monomers having ethylene double bonds which are suitable for the present invention include diallyl isophthalate, diallyl carbonate, diallyl ether, divinylbenzene, styrene, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and acrylamide. The amount of the above-described initiator is generally 0.01 to 20 % by weight, preferably 0.1 to 10 % by weight of the polycarbonate resin of the present invention or of the total of the polycarbonate resin and the monomer having ethylene double bonds. If it is less than 0.01 % by weight, crosslinking will proceed but take a long time. The crosslinking by thermal polymerization is carried out generally at 50 to 160°C, preferably 60 to 140°C, the crosslinking by irradiation of UV light, etc. generally at 0 to 50°C, preferably 20 to 40°C. The time of the crosslinking of the polycarbonate resin depends on the method of crosslinking, the kind and concentration of the monomer having ethylene double bonds and the kind of the initiator, and is generally 0.1 to 50 hours, preferably 0.1 to 25 hours. Reaction time of more than 50 hours is costly. The crosslinking can proceed under any pressure ranging from reduced pressure to applied pressure, preferably under reduced pressure or atmospheric pressure. Crosslinking can be confirmed by the polycarbonate resin's becoming insoluble in solvents, such as methylene chloride or dimethyl sulfoxide. The polycarbonate resins having functional groups other than carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds can be crosslinked by an ionic crosslinking. Ionic crosslinkings are classified into the crosslinking of polycarbonate resins having nucleophilic groups with electrophilic crosslinking agents, the crosslinking of polycarbonate resins having electrophilic groups with nucleophilic crosslinking agents, the crosslinking of polycarbonate resins having reactive groups polymerizable in the presence of Lewis acids with Lewis acid crosslinking agents, and the crosslinking of polycarbonate resins having nucleophilic groups with polycarbonate resins having electrophilic groups.

Preferred combinations are as follows. (1) a combination of a polycarbonate resin containing, as nucleophilic groups, amino groups, particularly -NH-, -NH 2 - or -NHR 7 , and an epoxy resin as an electrophilic crosslinking agent; (2) a combination of a polycarbonate resin containing, as nucleophilic groups, -CO 2 H or -(CO 2 )O and an epoxy resin as an electrophilic crosslinking agent; (3) a combination of a polycarbonate resin containing, as nucleophilic groups, -OH and an epoxy resin as an electrophilic crosslinking agent; (4) a combination of a polycarbonate resin containing, as nucleophilic groups, -SH and an epoxy resin as an electrophilic crosslinking agent; (5) a combination of a polycarbonate resin containing, as electrophilic groups, epoxy groups and an aliphatic polyamine as a nucleophilic crosslinking agent; and (6) a combination of a polycarbonate resin containing, as reactive groups polymerizable in the presence of a Lewis acid, epoxy groups and a boron halide as a Lewis acid crosslinking agent. The amount of the crosslinking agents is generally 0.01 to 1.0 part by weight, preferably 0.05 to 0.5 parts by weight, per part by weight of the polycarbonate resins. If it is less than 0.01 part by weight, crosslinking may be insufficient, and if more than 1.0 part by weight, unreacted crosslinking agents may deteriorate the abrasion resistance of the crosslinked polycarbonate resins or the electrophotographic properties of electrophotographic photoreceptors. Cure accelerators, such as phenols, triphenyl phosphates, tertiary amines, imidazoles or polymercaptans may be added according to demands. The ionic crosslinking of the polycarbonate resins can be performed after a photosensitive layer material containing a polycarbonate resin of the present invention is applied on a conductive substrate, according to any known technique described in known literature relating to crosslinking agents (Taiseisha, "Crosslinking Agent Handbook", p244-257, 1981, etc.) or known literature relating to polycarbonate resins (Nikkan Kogyo Co., Ltd., "Plastic Material Course [5]", Polycarbonate Resin, p39-43, etc.) or known literature relating to epoxy resins ("Techniques of Adhesion", 14, 3, p1-33, 1994, etc.). For example, the conditions of crosslinking depend on the combinations of the polycarbonate resins and the crosslinking agents or the like, and it is desirable to select combinations which have a crosslinking temperature of 50 to 250°C, preferably 100 to 200°C, and a crosslinking time of 50 hours or less, preferably 1 to 10 hours. If the crosslinking temperature is lower than 50°C, the resin solutions may have poor storage stability, and if higher than 250°C, charge-generating substances, charge-transfer substances, etc. may be deteriorated with heat to adversely affect electrophotographic properties. If the crosslinking time is more than 50 hours, charge-generating substances, charge-transfer substances, etc. will be deteriorated with heat, to lower the productivity of electrophotographic photoreceptors. [Electrophotographic Photoreceptor] The electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention has a photosensitive layer on a conductive substrate, and the photosensitive layer contains at least one of the above-described polycarbonate resins or the crosslinked products thereof. As far as such a photosensitive layer is formed on a conductive substrate, the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention may have any structure, such as a known single-layer-type or lamination-type. The photosensitive layer may have a surface protecting layer on its surface. Generally preferred are lamination-type electrophotographic photoreceptors wherein the photosensitive layer comprises at least one charge-generating layer and at least one charge-transfer layer, or lamination-type electrophotographic photoreceptors having at least one charge-generating layer, at least one charge-transfer layer and one surface protecting layer, and it is preferable that the charge-transfer layer contains the above crosslinked polycarbonate resin as a binder resin, and/or, the surface protecting layer of the photosensitive layer is made of the crosslinked polycarbonate resins. In the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention, the binder resin may comprise one or more kinds of the crosslinked polycarbonate resins, or may further contain other resins, such as other polycarbonate resins, which do not hinder the effects of the present invention. The polycarbonate resin (not-crosslinked) of the present invention to be used for the production of the electrophotographic photoreceptor preferably has a reduced viscosity of 0.1 to 2.0 dl/g, more preferably 0.3 to 1.6 dl/g, as measured at 20°C at a concentration of 0.5 g/dl in methylene chloride. Polycarbonate resins of a reduced viscosity of less than 0.1 dl/g may form, even after crosslinking, a layer having poor surface hardness, and electrophotographic photoreceptors may be subject to surface abrasion. Polycarbonate resins of a reduced viscosity of more than 2.0 dl/g may have an increased solution viscosity, causing difficulties in the production of electrophotographic photoreceptors by the application of coating fluid, and may form crosslinked polycarbonate resins which are too fragile to improve the durability of electrophotographic photoreceptors. In the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention, the crosslinked polycarbonate resin in photosensitive layer preferably contains 0.1 to 75 % by weight, more preferably 20 to 50 % by weight of a methylene chloride-insoluble fraction. Crosslinked polycarbonate resins containing 0.1 to 75 % by weight of a methylene chloride-insoluble fraction can particularly improve the durability of electrophotographic photoreceptors. The content of the methylene chloride-insoluble fraction is the % by weight of crosslinked polycarbonate resin which remains insoluble when the photosensitive layer containing the crosslinked polycarbonate resin is dissolved in methylene chloride at 25°C, and is based on 100 % by weight of the crosslinked polycarbonate resin originally contained in the photosensitive layer. Ionic crosslinking of the polycarbonate resins can prevent deterioration of charge-generating substances and charge-transfer substances which are sensitive to radicals, and gives electrophotographic photoreceptors which maintain particularly excellent electrophotographic properties during long-term repeated uses. The conductive substrate to be used in the electrophotographic photoreceptor of the present invention may be of any material, such as a known material, and examples of usable substrates include a plate, drum or sheet of aluminum, nickel, chromium, palladium, titanium, gold, silver, copper, zinc, stainless steel, molybdenum, indium, platinum, brass, lead oxide, tin oxide, indium oxide, ITO or graphite; glass, cloth, paper or a sheet or seamless-belt of plastic film, which are endowed with conductivity by evaporation, spattering or coating of the above-described materials; and a plastic film, sheet or seamless-belt bearing metal foil, such as aluminum foil, and a metal drum oxidized by, for example, electrode oxidation. The charge-generating layer of lamination-type electrophotographic photoreceptors contains at least a charge-generating substance, and may be produced by, for example, forming a layer of the charge-generating substance on an underlying layer by a vacuum evaporation technique, a spattering technique or a CVD method, or by forming on an underlying layer, a layer wherein the charge-generating substance is fixed by a binder resin. Various methods, including known methods, may be used for the production of the charge-generating layer containing the binder resin, and a suitable method is to apply a coating fluid prepared by dispersing or dissolving both a charge-generating substance and a binder resin in an appropriate solvent, followed by drying.

On standing for one month, the coating fluid did not whiten nor set to gel. Two aluminum conductive substrates (a flat plate of 50 mm x 50 mm and a cylinder of 168 mm x 360 mm) were each coated with a dispersion of oxotitanium phthalocyanine:butyral resin:methylene chlroride=1:1:38 (weight ratio) by dip coating to form charge-generating layers (about 0.5 µm) of oxotitanium phthalocyanine. The above-described coating fluid was applied on the charge-generating layers by dip coating, dried and then crosslinked at 150°C for 10 hours, to produce laminate-type organic electrophotographic photoreceptors each having a charge-transfer layer of about 20 µm thick. The charge-transfer layers did not crystallize from coating to crosslinking. The flat-plate organic electrophotographic photoreceptor was subjected to a deterioration test to evaluate the center-line average roughness Ra value and the electrophotographic properties.
