Abstract

The presently disclosed embodiments are directed to flexible imaging members used in electrophotographic imaging apparatuses. More particularly, the embodiments pertain to electrophotographic imaging members which have imaging layer(s) formulated to comprise of a novel polymer blended binder comprising a bisphenol type polycarbonate and an organic acid-containing copolyester doped into the polycarbonate which provides improved properties and performance to the resulting imaging member. The formulated imaging layer(s) may further include a plasticizer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A flexible imaging member comprising:
a flexible substrate;
a charge generating layer disposed on a first side of the substrate; and
at least one charge transport layer disposed on the charge generating layer, wherein the charge transport layer comprises a charge transport compound dispersed in a polymer blended binder, the polymer blended binder comprising a polycarbonate and an organic acid-containing copolyester doped into the polycarbonate, the polyc…
