Electrophotographic photoreceptor and resin composition

Abstract

An electrophotographic photoreceptor that satisfies excellent transparency, abrasion resistance, and electrophotographic properties (including sensitivity and residual potential after light irradiation) all together is provided. Specifically, an electrophotographic photoreceptor and a resin composition that include therein (1) a polycarbonate resin (A) having a structural unit represented by the following formula (I) and (2) at least one selected from a polycarbonate resin (B) synthesized from a source material that includes therein a bisphenol represented by the following formula (II) and a polyester resin (B') synthesized from a source material that includes therein a bisphenol represented by the following formula (II). In formulas (I) and (II), each of R, R, R, R, R, and Rrepresents, independently from one another, a substituted or non-substituted alkyl group, a substituted or non-substituted cycloalkyl group, or a substituted or non-substituted phenyl group. Each of p, q, r, s, t, and u represents, independently from one another, an integer of 0 to 4. Rrepresents an alkyl group. X represents an alkylene group, an isopropylidene group, a sec-butylidene group, a cycloalkylene group, a cycloalkylidene group, or the like. Y represents a single bond or —O—. Each of mand nrepresents a composition ratio (mole ratio) of the structural unit in the round brackets.
