Appeal No. 95-5115
Application No. 08/091,999
claims remaining in the application, which are claims 2 and
24, have been withdrawn by the appellants from this appeal
(see Paper No. 15 filed October 16, 1995).
The subject matter on appeal relates to a photoconductor
element for use in electrophotographic imaging which comprises
a support, a photoconductive layer, a barrier layer and a
release layer topcoat, wherein the barrier layer either
comprises or consists essentially of silica and an organic
polymer in a weight ratio ranging from 9:1 to 1:1. This
appealed subject matter is adequately illustrated by
independent claim 1 which reads as follows:
1. A photoconductor element for use in
electrophotographic imaging, comprising:
a support:
a photoconductive layer coated on said support;
a barrier layer coated on said photoconductive layer,
said barrier layer comprising an organic polymer and silica,
said polymer and said silica being present in said barrier
layer at a silica to polymer weight ratio ranging from 9:1 to
1:1; and
a release layer topcoat coated on said barrier layer.
2(...continued)
any further prosecution that may occur.
