Abstract
An electrophotographic photoreceptor, which includes a conductive substrate; an undercoat layer disposed on the conductive substrate and capable of conforming to the contour of the conductive substrate, a photoconductor charge generation layer disposed on the undercoat layer and capable of conforming to the contour of the undercoat layer, and a charge transport layer disposed on the photoconductor charge generation layer. The charge transport layer contains a charge transport material, a binder resin, a fluorine-containing resin, and a plurality of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) particles evenly dispersed in the binder resin, and the POSS particles are interconnected with at least one fluorine group and at least two non-fluoridated groups. By adding approximately 1% of the POSS particles and lubricant nanoparticles, a life-time improvement of at least 20% is achieved for an OPC drum.
