Abstract:
Disclosed are electron acceptor monomers of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is ##STR2## R' is hydrogen or methyl; X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of --NO.sub.2, halogen, cyano and --CF.sub.3 ;Z is oxygen or dicyanomethylene; and a and b can range from 0 to 3;With the proviso that at least one of R is ##STR3## AND POLYMERS PREPARED THEREFROM. These monomers and polymers are suitable for use in electrophotographic devices and methods.
Abstract:
Process for preparation of monomers of the formula ##STR1## WHEREIN R is hydrogen or methyl; X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of NO.sub.2, halogen, --CN and --CF.sub.3 ; andm and n can range from 0 to 3.Typical monomers embraced by the above formula can be prepared by Lewis Acid catalyzed esterification of methacrylic acid with a diazo derivative of an electron acceptor such as 9-diazo-2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone. These monomers can be used with other binders or polymerized by standard, free-radical techniques to polymers capable of forming self-supporting films which are useful in electrophotographic imaging members and methods.
Abstract:
Method for achieving free radical initiated copolymerization of an addition monomer having pendant therefrom a strong donor group with an addition monomer having pendant therefrom a strong acceptor group. Copolymers prepared according to this method can be represented by the following formula: ##STR1## WHEREIN R is hydrogen or methyl;R' is hydrogen or methyl;R" is hydrogen or methyl;R'" is alkyl of 1-10 carbon atoms;R'.sup.v is selected from the group consisting of --NO.sub.2, halogen, --CN and --CF.sub.3 ;X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms and phenyl;Z is oxygen or dicyanomethylene;a and b can range from 0-4; andn and m can range from about 5 to about 95 percent.The polymeric compositions prepared according to this method are suitable for use in electrophotography either alone as the primary photoresponsive entity or in combination with other photoconductive materials.
