Patent ID: 7811731

Claim:
A photoconductive member comprising: a charge generating layer; a charge transport layer; a conductive substrate layer; and a layer in contact with the charge transport layer comprising a substantially crosslinked resin of at least a phenol compound and a charge transport compound uniformly dispersed throughout the substantially crosslinked resin without being crosslinked with the phenol compound, wherein the charge transport compound is represented by: A-(L-OR) n wherein A represents a charge transport component, L represents a linkage group, O represents oxygen, R represents a hydrocarbyl group, and n represents a number of repeating segments or groups; wherein the charge generating layer and the charge transport layer are contained in a single layer; and wherein the phenol compound is a resole phenolic resin, and wherein the layer in contact with the charge transport layer further comprises a polymer binder selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyurethane, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl butyral, polysiloxane, polyacrylate, polyvinyl acetal, phenylene oxide resin, terephthalic acid resin, phenoxy resin, epoxy resin, acrylonitrile copolymer, cellulosic film former, poly(amideimide), and melamine-formaldehyde resin.
