An electrophotographic photosensitive member is constituted by at least a support, a photosensitive layer disposed on the support, and a protective layer disposed on the photosensitive layer. The protective layer comprises a cured product obtained from a condensation product between a silyl acrylate compound and colloidal silica. The protective layer is effective in providing the photosensitive member with improved potential stability against a change in environmental conditions and an excellent durability. |
