The present invention relates to an electrophotographicnphotoconductor comprising a photoconductive layer, a protective layer,nand a conductive support, wherein the protective layer is disposed as thenoutermost layer of the photoconductive layer, and 20 % by volume to 60 %nby volume of fine particles of fluorine-contained resin and at least onencompound selected from amine aromatic compounds and hydroxynaromatic compounds are incorporated into the protective layer. n According to the present invention, high durability may benachieved, image degradation such as lags may be controlled from thenincrease of residual potential and decrease of charging, and high qualitynimages may be formed stably even after the prolonged and repeatednusage. n The present invention also relates to an electrophotographicnprocess, an electrophotographic apparatus and a process cartridge for thenelectrophotographic apparatus which utilize the electrophotographicnphotoconductor respectively. |
