Abstract

Surface potential decay characteristics of corona-charged michlers ketone (MK) and polycarbonate (PC) binder layers have been studied for their utility in electrophotography. The effects of illumination intensity and of temperature on the acceptance and contrast potentials and on the half-decay time of the surface potential have been investigated. The 30∶70 MK∶PC binder layer is suitable at 33 ° C, while at lower temperatures (23 ° C) a higher percentage of MK in the binder layer is required. These layers show a contrast potential of 700 V and the residual potential is less than 10%. The spectral sensitivity of the binder layer has also been determined.
