Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to an electrophotography photosensitive body (henceforth, may be referred to as “photosensitive body”) that can prevent contamination from a developing roller used in a printer having a non-magnetic single component developing system. Described in more detail, the present invention relates to an electrophotography photosensitive body concerned with improving the construction material of a charge transport layer that has organic material as the main component. 
     Electrophotography photosensitive bodies have a basic construction in which a photosensitive layer having a photoconductive function is layered on top of a conductive substrate. In recent years, there has been advances in research and development of organic electrophotosensitive bodies that use organic compounds as the functional component responsible for charge generation and transport. These have the advantages of having a variety of materials, high productivity and safety, and the like. Their applications for use in copiers and printers and the like have been advanced. 
     Currently, in printers, particularly low-speed printers, an inexpensive non-magnetic single-component developing system is used. They are manufactured for personal users or for office users. Furthermore, currently in the low speed printer market, although a monochrome system is still mainstream, demand for color printers using a non-magnetic single component developing system is growing. In the future, it is predicted that color printers will become mainstream. 
     Referring to FIG. 2, in non-magnetic single component developing systems, the outermost surface of the organic photosensitive layer of a photosensitive drum  6  and the outermost layer of a developing roller of a metal iron core  8  and a dielectric rubber material  7  are in contact. Toner  9 , which is charged by the friction between toner  9  and the developing roller surface, adheres electrostatically to the developing roller surface. Toner  9  is made into a uniform thin layer by a metal blade  11 . Toner  9  then has a bias voltage applied when it enters between photosensitive drum  6  and the developing roller. Toner  9  electrostatically adheres to the organic photosensitive body surface and is developed. Referring to the figure, there is also shown a printing paper  10 . 
     The following are required qualities for the developing roller dielectric rubber used in the above non-magnetic single component developing system. 
     1) In order to have a suitable nip width, it must have a low hardness. 
     2) There is no permanent deformation with the deformation of the developing roller associated with contact. 
     3) In order to have the desired developing qualities, it should be in the semiconductor range of 10 5 -10 10  ohm cm. 
     For the properties of the developing roller surface and the area near the surface, 
     1) The desired charging polarity and charging amount is obtained by the friction generated with the toner. 
     2) Mold release with the toner is good, and there is no toner filming on top of the developing roller surface during use. 
     3) In order to have a uniform toner layer on top of the developing roller surface, the surface has a suitable surface roughness. 
     4) It has good abrasion resistance and has excellent durability. 
     5) With respect to the photosensitive body, there is no migration of components from the developing roller. 
     In order to have the desired developing roller quality, in addition to the rubber material, carbon black or white carbon (SiO 2 ) and the like can be added as electrical resistance adjusting materials in order to give the desired electrical qualities. In addition, plasticizer or hardening agents and the like can be added to adjust the rubber hardness. Various other materials such as vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerator agents and the like can be added. 
     As described above, by adding various additives other than rubber materials, the desired electrical resistance, mechanical properties, and surface properties for the developing roller can be achieved. However, with regard to the problem of component migration from developing roller to the photosensitive body surface as described in 5) of the developing roller surface properties, this is not just a problem with the developing roller surface but it is also a problem with the roller interior. While the photosensitive body and the developing roller are in contact, under the right conditions of temperature and humidity, particularly under a high temperature/high humidity environment, the components from the developing roller migrate, and these components adhere to the photosensitive body surface. When printing is conducted by a photosensitive body having these adhering components, the printed text can be deformed, or there can be image deterioration such as voids generated in black and halftone images. 
     OBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to prevent the contamination of the photosensitive body surface resulting from component migration from the developing roller. A further object is to provide an organic electrophotography photosensitive body that can achieve a stable image quality. 
     Intense study was conducted to solve the above problems. As a result, it was discovered the reason that the components from developing roller adhere to the photosensitive body surface (henceforth referred to as “volatile components”) is because the high surface energy of the photosensitive body surface causes physical adhesion to occur. 
     In other words, the present invention is an electrophotography photosensitive body, being a function separated laminated electrophotography photosensitive body equipped with at least a charge generating layer and a charge transport layer on top of a conductive substrate and being used by mounting onto a printer of a non-magnetic single component developing system, wherein: a contact angle theta of pure water on the charge transport layer satisfies theta&gt;=94 degrees. 
     In the present invention, the charge transport layer preferably contains a resin binder of only a polydialkyl siloxane-containing polycarbonate having a repeating unit represented by a following general formula (1)                           
     wherein each R is independently a C 1 -C 6  alkyl group or an optionally substituted C 6 -C 12  aromatic hydrocarbon group; B is (CH 2 ) x ; is an integer from 2-6; n is from 0-200; m from 1-50. Optionally, the charge transport layer can contain the polydialkyl siloxane-containing polycarbonate and another polycarbonate such that, with a weight M of the polydialkyl siloxane-containing polycarbonate and a weight N of the other polycarbonate is a ratio MIN which is greater than 1/4. 
     Even more preferably, the polydialkyl siloxane-containing polycarbonate has a repeating unit represented by a following formula (2),                           
     wherein, for x, y and z, the ratio of x/(x+y+z) is 0.5-0.95, and the ratio of z/(x+y+z) is 0.0001-0.1; n=0-200. 
     The above, and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals designate the same elements.

     FIG. 1 is a model cross-sectional drawing showing one example of a negative charge function-separate layered electrophotography photosensitive body of the present invention. 
     FIG. 2 is a descriptive drawing of a non-magnetic single component developing system relating to the present invention. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Referring to FIG. 1, there is a model cross-section showing one construction example of a photosensitive body relating to the present invention. This is a function separated layered photosensitive body of a negative charge type. It has a structure in which a photosensitive layer  3  is provided on top of a conductive substrate  1  via an undercoat layer  2 . In photosensitive layer  3 , a charge generating layer  4  and a charge transport layer  5  are sequentially layered. 
     Conductive substrate  1  acts as an electrode of the photosensitive body and is also the support body for each of the layers that construct the photosensitive body. Conductive substrate  1  can have the shape of a tube, sheet, or film. In terms of the materials, conductive substrate  1  can be a metal such as aluminum, stainless steel, nickel, and the like, or it can be a material in which conductive treatment is applied on top of a surface such as glass or resin and the like. 
     Undercoat layer  2  comprises a layer having a main component of a resin and a metal oxide coating such as aluminite and the like. Undercoat layer  2  can be provided as needed in order to control the injection of charge from the conductive substrate to the photosensitive layer, or to cover defects on the substrate surface, or to improve the adhesion of the photosensitive layer with the substrate. For the resin material used in the undercoat layer, insulated high molecular resins, such as casein, polyvinyl alcohol, polyamide, melamine, cellulose, and the like, or conductive high molecular resins such as polythiophene, polypyrrole, aniline and the like can be used. These resins can be used singly or can be used by combining and mixing as appropriate. Furthermore, these resins can also contain metal oxides such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and the like. 
     Charge generating layer  4  is constructed from an organic charge generating material and a resin binder. For the charge generating material, phthalocyanine compounds such as metal-free phthalocyanine, titanyl phthalocyanine, and the like, pigments or dyes and the like such as various azo, quinone, indigo, cyanine, squarilium, azulenium, pyrylium compounds and the like can be used. Preferably, a tau-type metal-free phthalocyanine is used. For the resin binder, polymers and copolymers of polycarbonate, polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, epoxy, silicone, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, and the like can be used singly or can be combined and used. The usage amount for the charge generating material is 5-500 weight parts with respect to 10 weight parts of resin binder, and preferably is 10-100 weight parts. In addition, charge transport layer  5  is laminated at the upper part of charge generating layer  4 . As a result, its film thickness is determined by the light absorption coefficient of the charge generating substance. In general, it is 5 μm or less, and preferably 1 μm or less. 
     Charge transport layer  5  is constructed from a charge transport material and a resin binder and is formed on the outermost surface of the photosensitive body. In the photosensitive body of the present invention, the contact angle θ of pure water on the charge transport layer must satisfy θ≧94°. By having the contact angle θ of pure water be 94° or greater, the surface energy of the photosensitive body surface becomes low. As a result, even when mounted onto a printer of a non-magnetic single component developing system, there is no adhesion of volatile components onto the photosensitive body surface, and a good image quality can be achieved. 
     For the resin binder of the charge transport layer, polycarbonate resins such as bis phenol A, bis phenol Z, bis phenol A-biphenyl copolymer, and the like, and polystyrene resin, and polyphenylene resin, and the like can be used singly or can be combined and mixed as suitable. However, preferably in the present invention, a polydialkylsiloxane-containing polycarbonate which has a repeating unit represented by the aforementioned general formula (1) is used singly, or this polydialkylsiloxane-containing polycarbonate and another polycarbonate is used at a ratio M/N&gt;1/4, where M is the weight of this polydialkylsiloxane-containing polycarbonate and N is the weight of this other polycarbonate. It is especially preferable if this polydialkylsiloxane-containing polycarbonate is a polydialkylsiloxane-containing polycarbonate that has a repeating unit represented by the aforementioned formula (2). 
     For the charge transport material, a hydrazone compound, butadiene compound, diamine compound, indole compound, indoline compound, stilbene compound, distilbene compound and the like can be used individually or they can be combined and mixed as suitable. For every 100 weight parts of the resin binder, the usage amount of the charge transport material is 10-200 weight parts, and preferably 20-150 weight parts. Furthermore, in order to maintain a surface electric potential that is effective in practice, the film thickness of the charge transport layer is preferably in the range of 3-50 μm, and more suitably  15-40 μm.    
     Furthermore, for the undercoat layer and the charge transport layer, in order to improve sensitivity, reduce residual electric potential, or improve environmental resistance and improve stability with respect to harmful light, electron accepting substances, oxidation inhibiting agents, light stabilizing agents, and the like can be added. Compounds used for these purposes include chromanol derivatives and etherified compounds such as tocopherols and the like, esterified compounds, polyaryl alkane compounds, hydroquinone derivatives, dieetherified compounds, benzophenone derivatives, benzotriazole derivatives, thioether compounds, phenylene diamine derivatives, ester phosphonate, ester phosphite, phenol compounds, hindered phenol compounds, straight chain amine compounds, annular amine compounds, hindered amine compounds, and the like. However, they are not limited to these. 
     Furthermore, in the photosensitive layer, for the purposes of improving the leveling of the formed film and of giving lubrication, the photosensitive layer can contain leveling agents such as silicone oil and fluorine oils, and the like. 
     Below, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

     Evaluation of the Photosensitive Body 
     (1) Measurement of the contact angle 
     The reason that volatile components from the developing roller adheres to the photosensitive body surface is believed to be because the high surface energy of the photosensitive body. Based on this idea, the contact angle θ of pure water, which is correlated with the surface energy, is used as a substitute, and evaluation was conducted with this value (when the contact angle theta of pure water becomes small, the surface energy becomes large). 
     The measurement samples were the photosensitive bodies manufactured in Embodiments 1-28 and Comparative examples 1-24. For the measurement device, a roll material contact angle measurement device CA-S Roll type (manufactured by Kyowa Kaimen Kagaku Corp. Ltd.) was used. For the measurement method, first, pure water was placed inside a cylinder. A specified liquid drop was dripped onto the photosensitive body drum. The contact angle was measured by a finder scope. 
     (2) Test of surface contamination of the photosensitive body by the developing roller under a high temperature/high humidity environment 
     With the photosensitive bodies manufactured in Embodiments 1-28 and Comparative examples 1-24, a test of surface contamination of the photosensitive body by the developing roller was conducted. First, two types of developing rollers (silicon rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (abbreviated as NBR)) were placed in contact with the photosensitive body and pressed together and fastened with a rubber band (commercial product). Next, this was left for 30 hours in a high temperature/high humidity environment (temperature 55° C., humidity 85%). Afterwards, the section where the photosensitive body surface was in contact was visually inspected, and a printed image evaluation (half-tone image) was conducted. 
     Referring to Tables 1-4, evaluation results from the above (1) and (2) are summarized and shown. Tables 1 and 2 show when the developing roller was a silicon rubber, and Tables 3 and 4 show when the developing roller was NBR.

     As shown in the above Tables 1-4, from the results of photosensitive body surface contamination test by developing rollers of silicon rubber or NBR, when polydialkyl siloxane-containing polycarbonate was used alone, no foreign adhesion substances were seen, irregardless of the charge transport material. In addition, when the charge transport layer was constructed from a mixture of a polydialkyl siloxane-containing polycarbonate and another polycarbonate, when the ratio of M/N&gt;1/4 (where M is the weight of the polydialkyl siloxane-containing polycarbonate and N is the weight of the other polycarbonate), there were no foreign adhesion substances, but when M/N&lt;=1/4, foreign adhesion substances were seen. From this, it can be concluded that if M/N&gt;1/4, no foreign substances will adhere. The contact angle theta with this was θ&lt;94°. On average, with samples having a contact angle theta &gt;=94 degrees, no foreign adhesion was seen on the surface of the photosensitive body, and there were no problems with the printed image quality. 
     The function-separated organic electrophotography photosensitive body of the present invention uses a polydialkyl siloxane-containing polycarbonate as a resin binder in the charge transport layer. When this photosensitive body is used with a printer using a non-magnetic single component developing system, there is no contamination from the developing roller, and an excellent image quality is provided. 
     Having described preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to those precise embodiments, and that various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
