          Application No. 07/953,619                                                  


               21.  An electrostatographic imaging member comprising a                
          substrate and a charge transport layer applied by solution                  
          coating in methylene chloride; said substrate being comprised of            
          a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamide/nylons,           
          polycarbonate/polybutylene terephthalate alloys,                            
          polyphthalamides, polyester liquid crystals, phenolic polymers              
          and diallyl phthalates, said polymer insoluble in the methylene             
          chloride and having a Tg of at least 90<C and a linear thermal              
          contraction coefficient within about plus or minus 2x10 / C of-5 0                 
          the thermal contraction coefficient of said charge transport                
          layer.                                                                      
               26.  An electostatographic imaging member comprising a                 
          substrate and a charge transport layer applied by solution                  
          coating in methylene chloride; said substrate being comprised of            
          a polymer subjected to gamma ray irradiation to provide a form              
          insoluble in said methylene chloride and having a T  of at least            
                                                             g
