ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a photoconductive member including a self-healing composite coating having a polymer matrix, a photoconductive component, a healing material encapsulated within nano- or microcapsules, and an optional catalyst, that is capable of repairing physical damage to the photoconductive member when the capsule ruptures. Also disclosed is photoconductive member including a substrate, an undercoat layer, a charge generating layer, a charge transport layer, and an optional protective overcoat layer; in which one layer of the photoconductive member further includes a healing material encapsulated within nano- or microcapsules and an optional catalyst, and that is capable or reparing physical damage to the photoconductive member when the capsule ruptures. Also disclosed is an imaging forming apparatus including same.
