Electrophotographic photoreceptors having improved mechanical
properties, electrical properties with excellent response characteristics are prepared
by forming a photosensitive layer on an electroconductive substrate. The photosensitive
layer contains a binder resin, which may be a polyarylate or a copolymer of polyarylate.
The binder resin may be mixed with other resins up to 50 wt % with other resins
to impove surface slip properties or fire retardant properties.
