Title: Electrophotographic photosensitive member and method of producing the electrophotographic photosensitive member, and process cartridge and electrophotographic apparatus each including the electrophotographic photosensitive member

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photosensitive member and a method of producing the electrophotographic photosensitive member, and a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus each including the electrophotographic photosensitive member. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     An electrophotographic photosensitive member containing an organic photoconductive substance (charge generation substance) is known as an electrophotographic photosensitive member to be mounted onto a process cartridge or an electrophotographic apparatus. The electrophotographic photosensitive member generally includes a support and a photosensitive layer (charge generation layer and hole transport layer) formed on the support. In addition, an intermediate layer has been formed between the support and the photosensitive layer for the purpose of suppressing injection of charge from the support to the photosensitive layer to suppress occurrence of an image defect such as fogging. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-268011 discloses a technology involving incorporating metal oxide particles having small particle diameters into the intermediate layer to suppress the injection of the charge. 
     In addition, a charge generation substance having an additionally high sensitivity characteristic has been used in recent years. However, as the sensitivity of the charge generation substance rises, an amount of charge to be generated increases and hence the charge is liable to remain in the intermediate layer in an exposed portion. In addition, when image formation is repeatedly performed for a long time period, a voltage fluctuation is liable to become large. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-250082 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-299344 each disclose, as a technology for suppressing such remaining of the charge of the intermediate layer, a technology involving using a laminated structure formed of a layer containing tin oxide-coated titanium oxide and a layer containing an electron transport substance for the intermediate layer to alleviate the voltage fluctuation. Japanese Patent Translation Publication No. 2009-505156 discloses a technology involving using a layer containing a polymer-type electron transport substance on a layer containing metal oxide particles to alleviate the voltage fluctuation. 
     However, studies made by the inventors of the present invention have found that when an intermediate layer obtained by laminating an intermediate layer containing metal oxide particles having small particle diameters and an intermediate layer containing an electron transport substance is used as the intermediate layer as described above, such a problem as described below arises. That is, the studies have found that the intermediate layer is susceptible to improvement because sufficient suppressing effects may not be obtained on a voltage fluctuation in an exposed portion and occurrence of a black spot under a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
     (First Intermediate Layer) 
     An electrophotographic photosensitive member of the present invention includes a support, a first intermediate layer formed on the support, a second intermediate layer formed on the first intermediate layer, and a photosensitive layer formed on the second intermediate layer. In addition, the electrophotographic photosensitive member has a feature in that the first intermediate layer contains metal oxide particles having a number-average primary particle diameter of 30 nm or more and 450 nm or less. In addition to the feature, the electrophotographic photosensitive member has a feature in that the second intermediate layer contains a cured product of a composition containing: an electron transport substance having a polymerizable functional group represented by the formula (1) or (2), and having a molecular weight of 100 or more and 1,000 or less; and a crosslinking agent having 3 to 6 groups reactive with the polymerizable functional group, and having a molecular weight of 200 or more and 1,300 or less. The inventors of the present invention have assumed the reason why the electrophotographic photosensitive member having the features is excellent in suppression of a voltage fluctuation of an exposed portion and the occurrence of a black spot due to its repeated use in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment to be as described below. 
     The use of the metal oxide particles having a number-average primary particle diameter of 30 nm or more and 450 nm or less (also referred to as “small-particle diameter metal oxide particles”) in the first intermediate layer can suppress the occurrence of the black spot due to the formation of a local conductive path. However, the small-particle diameter metal oxide particles may be liable to cause the voltage fluctuation of the exposed portion due to the repeated use under a high-temperature and high-humidity environment because the amount of an oxygen-deficient portion per unit mass is large. 
     A possible reason why the voltage fluctuation occurs is as follows: the oxygen-deficient portion of the small-particle diameter metal oxide particles is oxidized by electrification deterioration in an electrophotographic process and hence the small-particle diameter metal oxide particles are brought into a state of being additionally likely to adsorb moisture. When the oxygen-deficient portion of the small-particle diameter metal oxide particles is oxidized, moisture adsorbs to the oxygen-deficient portion to increase the resistance of the first intermediate layer and charge generated by exposure is liable to remain in the intermediate layer, and hence the voltage fluctuation may occur. 
     In view of the foregoing, in the present invention, a reducing action on the small-particle diameter metal oxide particles is assumed to be induced by causing an electron-transporting site (electron-localized site) to uniformly exist in the second intermediate layer. In addition, the film uniformity of the second intermediate layer improves and hence the black spot may be suppressed. At this time, in order that a large amount of the electron-localized site may be caused to uniformly exist, a reactive group of the crosslinking agent prefers to be trifunctional to hexafunctional rather than to be difunctional, which may improve the reducing action. Herein, the reactive group refers to a group reactive with the polymerizable functional group represented by the formula (1) or (2). Further, the localization of an electron is enabled by: providing the crosslinking agent with a bonding site obtained by polymerizing a specific electron transport substance and the crosslinking agent; and shortening an interatomic distance between a non-electron-transporting site (electron-nonlocalized site) of the electron transport substance and the bonding site of the crosslinking agent. Probably as a result of the foregoing, the effect of the reducing action can be improved. It is assumed that as a result of the foregoing, the oxidation of the oxygen-deficient portion of the metal oxide particles in the repeated use under a high-temperature and high-humidity environment is suppressed, the increase in resistance of the first intermediate layer is suppressed, and the voltage fluctuation of the exposed portion is suppressed. 
     (Metal Oxide) 
     The first intermediate layer of the present invention contains the metal oxide particles having a number-average primary particle diameter of 30 nm or more and 450 nm or less. The number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide particles can be calculated by observing a cross-section of the first intermediate layer with a SEM. 
     The number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide particles is more preferably 30 nm or more and 250 nm or less from the viewpoint of the suppression of the black spot. In addition, a method of measuring the number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide particles is as described below. 
     The metal oxide particles in a cross-sectional photograph of the first intermediate layer taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at a certain magnification and a cross-sectional photograph mapped with an element of the metal oxide particles by using an element-analyzing unit such as an X-ray microanalyzer (XMA) included with the SEM are checked against each other. Next, the projected areas of the primary particles of the 100 metal oxide particles are measured, and the diameter of a circle whose area is equal to the measured projected area of each metal oxide particle is determined as the diameter of each metal oxide particle. The number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide particles is calculated based on the results and the calculated value is defined as the number-average primary particle diameter. 
     The metal oxide particles are not particularly limited as long as the particles are used for the purpose of imparting conductivity to the first intermediate layer. Of such particles, zinc oxide particles or titanium oxide particles are preferred from the viewpoint of imparting proper conductivity. 
     The metal oxide particles may be subjected to surface treatment. Any one of the known methods may be employed as a method for the surface treatment, and a dry method or a wet method is employed. 
     As a material for the surface treatment, there are given, for example, a silane coupling agent, a titanate-based coupling agent, an aluminum-based coupling agent, and a surface active material as organic compounds. In particular, a coupling agent having an alkoxysilane group, an amino group, an epoxy group, a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, or a thiol group is preferred. 
     The amount of the organic compound with which the surfaces of the metal oxide particles in the first intermediate layer are treated is preferably 0.5 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less with respect to the metal oxide particles from the viewpoints of electrophotographic characteristics. 
     In addition, a mixture of two or more kinds of particles different from each other in, for example, kind of metal oxide, surface treatment, or particle diameter can be used as the metal oxide particles. 
     Various additives may be further incorporated into the first intermediate layer for the purposes of, for example, improving the electrical characteristics of the first intermediate layer, improving its film shape stability, and improving image quality. Examples of the additives include: a conductive particle such as carbon black; an electron transport substance such as a quinone compound, a fluorenone compound, an oxadiazole-based compound, a diphenoquinone compound, an anthraquinone compound, a benzophenone compound, a polycyclic condensed compound, or an azo compound; and a metal chelate compound. In particular, a benzophenone compound is preferably used. 
     The first intermediate layer preferably contains a binder resin. Although any one of the known resins may be used as the binder resin, a curable resin is preferred from the following viewpoint: its elution into an upper layer or a fluctuation in its resistance at the time of the formation of the photosensitive layer is small. 
     For example, a phenol resin, a polyurethane resin, an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, a melamine resin, or polyester is preferred as the curable resin. In particular, polyurethane formed of a cured product of a blocked isocyanate compound and polyol is more preferred. Examples of the blocked isocyanate compound include compounds obtained by blocking 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), a HDI-trimethylolpropane adduct form, a HDI-isocyanurate form, and a HDI-biuret form with an oxime. Examples of the oxime include formaldehyde oxime, acetaldoxime, methyl ethyl ketoxime, and cyclohexanone oxime. Examples of the polyol include polyether polyol, polyester polyol, acrylic polyol, epoxy polyol, and fluorine-based polyol. 
     A solvent to be used for an application liquid for the first intermediate layer may be arbitrarily selected from, for example, alcohol-based, ketone-based, ether-based, ester-based, halogenated hydrocarbon-based, and aromatic solvents. One kind of those solvents may be used alone, or two or more kinds thereof may be used as a mixture. 
     An organic resin fine particle or a leveling agent may be incorporated into the first intermediate layer as required. A hydrophobic organic resin particle such as a silicone particle or a hydrophilic organic resin particle such as a crosslinking-type polymethacrylate resin (PMMA) particle can be used as the organic resin particle. 
     The thickness of the first intermediate layer is preferably from about 0.5 to 40 μm, more preferably from 10 to 30 μm.

     A derivative (derivative of the electron transport substance) having a structure represented by any one of the formulae (A2) to (A6), (A9), (A12) to (A15), and (A17) can be purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Sigma-Aldrich Japan K.K., or Johnson Matthey Japan Incorporated. A derivative having a structure represented by the formula (A1) can be synthesized by a reaction between naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride and a monoamine derivative that can be purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Sigma-Aldrich Japan K.K., or Johnson Matthey Japan Incorporated. A derivative having a structure represented by the formula (A7) can be synthesized by using a phenol derivative that can be purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. or Sigma-Aldrich Japan K.K. as a raw material. A derivative having a structure represented by the formula (A8) can be synthesized by a reaction between perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride and a monoamine derivative that can be purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. or Johnson Matthey Japan Incorporated. A derivative having a structure represented by the formula (A10) can be synthesized by subjecting a compound that can be purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. or Sigma-Aldrich Japan K.K. to oxidation in an organic solvent (such as chloroform) using an appropriate oxidizing agent (such as potassium permanganate). A derivative having a structure represented by the formula (A11) can be synthesized by a reaction among a naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, a monoamine derivative, and hydrazine that can be purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. or Sigma-Aldrich Japan K.K. A derivative having a structure represented by the formula (A16) can be synthesized according to a known method that has been employed in synthesizing a general carboxylic acid imide. 
     The compound represented by any one of the formulae (A1) to (A17) has a polymerizable functional group that can polymerize with a crosslinking agent (a hydroxy group, a thiol group, an amino group, a carboxyl group, or a methoxy group). Two methods are each available as a method of introducing any such polymerizable functional group into the derivative having a structure represented by any one of the formulae (A1) to (A17). A first method involves directly introducing the polymerizable functional group into the derivative having a structure represented by any one of the formulae (A1) to (A17). A second method involves introducing a structure having the polymerizable functional group or a functional group that can serve as a precursor of the polymerizable functional group into the derivative having a structure represented by any one of the formulae (A1) to (A17). Available as the second method is a method involving introducing a functional group-containing aryl group by means of a cross-coupling reaction based on a halide of the derivative having a structure represented by any one of the formulae (A1) to (A17), the reaction involving using a palladium catalyst and a base. Also available is a method involving introducing a functional group-containing alkyl group by means of a cross-coupling reaction based on the halide of the derivative having a structure represented by any one of the formulae (A1) to (A17), the reaction involving using an FeCl 3  catalyst and a base. Also available is a method involving subjecting the halide of the derivative having a structure represented by any one of the formulae (A1) to (A17) to lithiation, and causing an epoxy compound or CO 2  to act on the resultant to introduce a hydroxyalkyl group or a carboxyl group. 
     (Crosslinking Agent) 
     Next, the crosslinking agent is described. 
     A compound that polymerizes or crosslinks with the polymerizable functional group of the electron transport substance and a thermoplastic resin having a polymerizable functional group to be described later can be used as the crosslinking agent. Specifically, for example, a compound described in the “Crosslinking Agent Handbook” edited by Shinzo Yamashita and Tosuke Kaneko, and published by TAISEISHA LTD. (1981) can be used. 
     The crosslinking agent of the present invention has a molecular weight of 200 or more and 1,300 or less, and has 3 to 6 groups reactive with the polymerizable functional group of the electron transport substance. 
     Preferred examples of the crosslinking agent include an isocyanate compound having an isocyanate group or a blocked isocyanate group and an amine compound having an N-methylol group or an alkyl-etherified N-methylol group. 
     Examples of the isocyanate compound include triisocyanatobenzene, triisocyanatomethylbenzene, triphenylmethane triisocyanate, lysine triisocyanate, and an isocyanurate modified product, biuret modified product, allophanate modified product, and trimethylolpropane or pentaerythritol adduct modified product of a diisocyanate such as tolylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, naphthalenediisocyanatodiphenylmethane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, 2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, methyl 2,6-diisocyanatohexanoate, or norbornane diisocyanate. Of those, an isocyanurate modified product and an adduct modified product are more preferred. 
     The blocked isocyanate group is a group having a structure represented by —NHCOX 1  (where X 1  represents a protective group). Although X 1  may represent any protective group as long as the protective group can be introduced into an isocyanate group, X 1  more preferably represents a group represented by any one of the following formulae (H1) to (H6). 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Specific examples of the isocyanate compound are shown below. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Preferred examples of the amine compound include a compound represented by any one of the following formulae (C1) to (C5) and an oligomer of the compound represented by any one of the following formulae (C1) to (C5).

     A ratio between the molecular weights of the electron transport substance and the crosslinking agent preferably falls within the range of from 3/20 to 50/20. When the ratio falls within the range, the electron-transporting site uniformly exists in the film and hence the bias of the reducing action on the metal oxide particles may reduce. The ratio more preferably falls within the range of from 12/20 to 28/20. Further, a mass ratio between the electron transport substance having a polymerizable functional group and crosslinking agent in the composition of the second intermediate layer falls within the range of preferably from 1/9 to 9/1, more preferably from 3/7 to 7/3 from the viewpoint of the uniformity of its film structure. 
     In addition, the composition of the second intermediate layer preferably further contains a thermoplastic resin having a polymerizable functional group. The thermoplastic resin having a polymerizable functional group is preferably a thermoplastic resin having a structural unit represented by the following formula (D). 
                         
(In the formula (D), R 11  represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, Y 1  represents a single bond, an alkylene group, or a phenylene group, and W 1  represents a hydroxy group, a thiol group, an amino group, or a carboxyl group.)
 
     Examples of the thermoplastic resin having a structural unit represented by the formula (D) include an acetal resin, a polyolefin resin, a polyester resin, a polyether resin, and a polyamide resin. Those resins each further have a characteristic structure represented below in addition to the structural unit represented by the formula (D). The characteristic structures are represented in the following formulae (E-1) to (E-5). The formula (E-1) represents the structural unit of the acetal resin, the formula (E-2) represents the structural unit of the polyolefin resin, the formula (E-3) represents the structural unit of the polyester resin, the formula (E-4) represents the structural unit of the polyether resin, and the formula (E-5) represents the structural unit of the polyamide resin. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     In the formulae (E-1) to (E-5), R 21  to R 25  each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and R 26  to R 30  each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group, or a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group. For example, when R 21  in the formula (E-1) represents C 3 H 7 , the resin is a butyral resin. 
     The resin having a structural unit represented by the formula (D) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “resin D”) is obtained by polymerizing a monomer having a polymerizable functional group that can be purchased from, for example, Sigma-Aldrich Japan K.K. or Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. 
     In addition, the resin can be generally purchased as a resin. Examples of the resin that can be purchased include: a polyether polyol-based resin such as AQD-457 or AQD-473 manufactured by Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd., or SANNIX GP-400 or GP-700 manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.; a polyester polyol-based resin such as PHTHALKYD W2343 manufactured by Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd., WATERSOL S-118 or CD-520 or BECKOLITE M-6402-50 or M-6201-40IM manufactured by DIC Corporation, HARIDIP WH-1188 manufactured by Harima Chemicals, Inc., or ES3604 or ES6538 manufactured by Japan U-Pica Company Ltd.; an acrylic polyol-based resin such as BURNOCK WE-300 or WE-304 manufactured by DIC Corporation; a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin such as KURARAY POVAL PVA-203 manufactured by KURARAY CO., LTD.; a polyvinyl acetal-based resin such as BX-1 or BM-1 manufactured by SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.; a polyamide-based resin such as TORESIN FS-350 manufactured by Nagase ChemteX Corporation; a carboxyl group-containing resin such as AQUALIC manufactured by NIPPON SHOKUBAI CO., LTD. or FINELEX SG2000 manufactured by Namariichi Co., Ltd.; a polyamine resin such as LUCKAMIDE manufactured by DIC Corporation; and a polythiol resin such as QE-340M manufactured by Toray Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd. 
     The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the resin D more preferably falls within the range of from 5,000 to 400,000. 
     Examples of a method of quantifying the polymerizable functional group in the resin include the following methods: the titration of a carboxyl group with potassium hydroxide, the titration of an amino group with sodium nitrite, and the titration of a hydroxy group with acetic anhydride and potassium hydroxide. Further examples thereof include the titration of a thiol group with 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) and a calibration curve method involving obtaining the amount of the polymerizable functional group from the IR spectrum of a sample whose polymerizable functional group introduction ratio has been changed. 
     Table 18 below shows specific examples of the resin D. The column “other site” in Table 18 refers to a characteristic structure and represents a structural unit represented by any one of the formulae (E-1) to (E-5).

     Process Cartridge and Electrophotographic Apparatus 
       FIG. 1  illustrates the schematic construction of an electrophotographic apparatus including a process cartridge including an electrophotographic photosensitive member. 
     In  FIG. 1 , an electrophotographic photosensitive member  1  having a cylindrical shape is rotationally driven about an axis  2  in a direction indicated by an arrow at a predetermined peripheral speed. The surface (peripheral surface) of the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1  to be rotationally driven is uniformly charged to a predetermined positive or negative potential by a charging unit  3  (primary charging unit such as a charging roller). Next, the surface receives exposure light (image exposure light)  4  from an exposing unit (not shown) such as slit exposure or laser beam scanning exposure. Thus, electrostatic latent images corresponding to the target image are sequentially formed on the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1 . 
     The electrostatic latent images formed on the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1  are then developed with toner in the developer of a developing unit  5  to become toner images. Next, the toner images formed on and carried by the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1  are sequentially transferred onto a transfer material P (such as paper) by a transfer bias from a transferring unit  6  (such as a transfer roller). It is to be noted that the transfer material P is taken out and supplied from a transfer material-supplying unit (not shown) to a space (abutment portion) between the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1  and the transferring unit  6  in synchronization with the rotation of the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1 . 
     The transfer material P onto which the toner images have been transferred is separated from the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1  and introduced into a fixing unit  8 , where the images are fixed. Thus, the transfer material is printed out as an image-formed product (print or copy) to the outside of the apparatus. 
     The surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1  after the transfer of the toner images is cleaned through the removal of a transfer residual developer (toner) by a cleaning unit  7  (such as a cleaning blade). Next, the surface is subjected to antistatic treatment by pre-exposure light (not shown) from a pre-exposing unit (not shown), and is then repeatedly used in image formation. It is to be noted that when the charging unit  3  is a contact charging unit using a charging roller as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , pre-exposure is not necessarily needed. 
     The following procedure may be adopted: two or more of components such as the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1 , the charging unit  3 , the developing unit  5 , the transferring unit  6 , and the cleaning unit  7  are selected, stored in a container, and integrally coupled to form a process cartridge, and the process cartridge is removably mounted onto the main body of the electrophotographic apparatus such as a copying machine or a laser beam printer. In  FIG. 1 , the electrophotographic photosensitive member  1 , the charging unit  3 , the developing unit  5 , and the cleaning unit  7  are integrally supported to from a cartridge. In addition, the cartridge serves as a process cartridge  9  removably mounted onto the main body of the electrophotographic apparatus by using a guiding unit  10  such as the rail of the main body of the electrophotographic apparatus. 
     The invention of the present application is hereinafter described in more detail by way of Examples. However, the invention of the present application is by no means limited thereto. It is to be noted that “%” and “part(s)” in Examples mean “mass %” and “part(s) by mass,” respectively.

Next, 250 parts of ethyl acetate were added to the resultant to prepare an application liquid for a charge generation layer. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     The application liquid for a charge generation layer was applied onto the electron transport layer by immersion, and the resultant coat was dried for 10 minutes at 100° C. to form a charge generation layer having a thickness of 0.15 μm. 
     Next, 4 parts of a triarylamine compound represented by the following formula (CTM-1), 4 parts of a benzidine compound represented by the following formula (CTM-2), and 10 parts of bisphenol Z-type polycarbonate (trade name: 2400, manufactured by Mitsubishi Engineering-Plastics Corporation) were dissolved in a mixed solvent of 40 parts of dimethoxymethane and 60 parts of chlorobenzene to prepare an application liquid for a hole transport layer. The application liquid for a hole transport layer was applied onto the charge generation layer by immersion, and the resultant coat was dried for 40 minutes at 120° C. to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of 15 μm. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Thus, an electrophotographic photosensitive member for evaluations for a voltage fluctuation and a black spot was produced. 
     (Measurement of Number-Average Primary Particle Diameter) 
     The produced electrophotographic photosensitive member was cut and a sample for cross-sectional observation was produced by using a cross-section polisher (cross-sectional sample-producing apparatus). The metal oxide particles in a cross-sectional photograph of the first intermediate layer taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at a certain magnification and a cross-sectional photograph mapped with an element of the metal oxide particles by using an element-analyzing unit such as an X-ray microanalyzer (XMA) included with the SEM were checked against each other. Next, the projected areas of the primary particles of the 100 metal oxide particles were measured, and the diameter of a circle whose area was equal to the measured projected area of each metal oxide particle was determined as the diameter of each metal oxide particle. The number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide particles was calculated based on the results and the calculated value was defined as the number-average primary particle diameter. 
     (Evaluation for Black Spot) 
     An evaluation was performed by mounting the produced electrophotographic photosensitive member for evaluations on a reconstructed machine of a laser beam printer (trade name: LBP-2510) manufactured by Canon Inc. Details about the evaluation are as described below. 
     The printer was reconstructed as follows: a charging condition and a laser exposure were set so that with regard to the surface potential of the electrophotographic photosensitive member, an initial dark portion potential became −550 V and an exposed portion potential became −150 V under an environment having a temperature of 35° C. and a humidity of 85% RH. Surface potential measurement was performed as described below. A cartridge was reconstructed and a potential probe (trade name: model 6000B-8, manufactured by TREK JAPAN) was mounted at a development position. Then, a potential at the central portion of the electrophotographic photosensitive member was measured with a surface potentiometer (trade name: model 344, manufactured by TREK JAPAN). 
     In the evaluation for a black spot, an entirely solid white image was output on A4 size glossy paper. The number of black spots in the area of the output image corresponding to 1 round of the electrophotographic photosensitive member (a rectangular region whose longitudinal length was 297 mm corresponding to the longer side length of the A4 paper and whose horizontal length was 94.2 mm corresponding to 1 round of the electrophotographic photosensitive member) was visually evaluated by the following criteria. Table 21 shows the result of the evaluation. 
     Rank A: No black spot is observed. 
     Rank B: 1 to 3 black spots each having a diameter of more than 0.3 mm are observed. 
     Rank C: 4 or 5 black spots each having a diameter of more than 0.3 mm are observed. 
     Rank D: 6 or 7 black spots each having a diameter of more than 0.3 mm are observed. 
     Rank E: 8 or more black spots each having a diameter of more than 0.3 mm are observed. 
     (Evaluation for Voltage Fluctuation) 
     An evaluation was performed by mounting the produced electrophotographic photosensitive member for evaluations on a reconstructed machine of a laser beam printer (trade name: LBP-2510) manufactured by Canon Inc. Details about the evaluation are as described below. 
     The printer was reconstructed as follows: a charging condition and a laser exposure were set so that with regard to the surface potential of the electrophotographic photosensitive member, an initial dark portion potential became −550 V and an exposed portion potential became −150 V under a high-temperature and high-humidity environment (having a temperature of 35° C. and a humidity of 85% RH). At the time of paper feeding, a character image having a print percentage of 1% was repeatedly formed on 10,000 sheets of A4 size plain paper with a cyan color alone. An initial exposed portion potential and an exposed portion potential after the repeated image formation on the 10,000 sheets at this time were compared, and the difference therebetween was defined as a value for a voltage fluctuation (ΔV1). Table 21 shows the result of the evaluation.

     Comparison between Examples and Comparative Example 1 has shown that when the number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide in the first intermediate layer is small, sufficient suppressing effects may not be obtained on a voltage fluctuation and a black spot in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. This is probably because when the number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide particles is small, the oxygen deficiency concentration of the metal oxide per unit mass increases, and hence the voltage fluctuation of an exposed portion is liable to occur owing to repeated use under the high-temperature and high-humidity environment. 
     Comparison between Examples and Comparative Example 2 has shown that when the number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide in the first intermediate layer is large, a sufficient suppressing effect may not be obtained on a black spot. This is probably because when the number-average primary particle diameter of the metal oxide is large, a local conductive path is liable to be formed and hence the black spot is liable to occur. 
     Comparison between Examples and Comparative Example 3 has shown that when the electron-nonlocalized site of the electron transport substance and the bonding site of the crosslinking agent are distant from each other, a sufficient suppressing effect may not be obtained on a voltage fluctuation in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. 
     Comparison between Examples and Comparative Example 4 has shown that sufficient suppressing effects may not be obtained on a voltage fluctuation and a black spot in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment depending on the structure of the polymerizable functional group portion of the electron transport substance. This is probably because the uniformity of the electron transport substance in the film is liable to reduce depending on the structure of the polymerizable functional group. 
     Comparison between Examples and Comparative Examples 5 to 8 has shown that a sufficient suppressing effect may not be obtained on a voltage fluctuation in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment depending on the molecular weights of the electron transport substance and the crosslinking agent. 
     This is probably because when the molecular weights of the electron transport substance and the crosslinking agent do not fall within proper ranges, a uniform three-dimensional crosslinked structure is hardly formed between the electron transport substance and the crosslinking agent. 
     Comparison between Examples and Comparative Example 9 has shown that when the second intermediate layer is free of any electron transport substance, sufficient suppressing effects may not be obtained on a voltage fluctuation and a black spot in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.
