INJECTION AND TRANSPORT IN GLASSY POLYMERIC COATINGS

Organic electrophotographic receptors have been enabled by the develop ment of unique classes of high dielectric strength glassy polymer coat ings which, through insulating are nevertheless capable of transportin g injected charge with relatively high mobility and negligible loss to deep traps. Key features of electronic transport in these materials a nd the underlying physics are described. Additionally, it is demonstra ted that these trap free transport polymers provide a unique venue for the exploration of contact behavior and the factors controlling injec tion efficiency in disordered organic solids.
