Mechanical and electrical robust imaging member and a process for producing same

Disclosed herein is a flexible imaging member having a high concentration of a charge transport compound having optimum enhanced mechanical and electrical characteristics. By increasing the concentration of the charge transport compound to a level of from about 55 weight percent or more, including from about 55 weight percent to about 70 weight percent, and from about 55 weight percent to about 65 weight percent, a flexible imaging member can be produced with reduced residual voltage and/or improved sensitivity. Furthermore, the fatigue cracking resistance of the charge transport layer can be improved through the implementation of a heat stress release process described more particularly herein.
