Many photoreceptors have been put into practical use as photoreceptors used in electrophotography including processes such as charging, exposure, development, transfer, and cleaning, as disclosed in, for example, US Pat. No. 2,297,619. For example, an organic photoconductive material is provided directly on a suitable conductive substrate by coating or vapor deposition, or the above material is provided together with a suitable organic binder, or in a binder.
Products in which inorganic photoconductive materials such as ZnO, CdS, and TiO 2 are dispersed, or materials in which amorphous selenium or its alloys are vapor-deposited are used (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-5394, Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-3005 No., Special Publication 1977
-Refer to Publication No. 14271). The surface layer of these photoreceptors is constantly subjected to mechanical, electrical and chemical stress during repeated use within an electrophotographic copying apparatus. For this reason, various proposals have been made to provide a surface protective layer on the surface of the photoreceptor in order to prevent damage to the surface of the photoreceptor and extend its life. A layer containing a thermosetting resin such as phenol resin, epoxy resin, or alkyd resin is used as one of these surface protective layers, and is given appropriate conductivity. Excellent improvement effects have been found in terms of wear resistance and abrasion resistance. However, when the above-mentioned thermosetting resin is used as a surface protective layer to form a coating on, for example, a sheet-like photoreceptor, there is a problem in that a sufficiently satisfactory coating cannot be obtained in terms of flexibility.

As a result of various studies, the present invention was developed by containing an appropriate amount of a copolymer compound consisting of methyl methacrylate, styrene, and octyl acrylate as a flexibility auxiliary agent in a thermosetting resin, more specifically, a polyol-curing polyurethane resin.

It was discovered that a film can be formed on the body.
