PURPOSE: To obtain an electrophotographic sensitive body superior in durability and humidity resistance by forming a photosensitive layer contg. a resin having repeating units represented by a specified general formula on a substrate to prepare the electrophotographic sensitive body.
CONSTITUTION: The electrophotographic sensitive body is obtained by forming on the substrate comprised of a cylinder, film, etc. made of a metal such as aluminum, stainless steel, and paper, plastics, or the like, the photosensitive layer contg. a resin having repeating units each represented by the formula in which R1 is H, halogen, alkyl, phenyl, or methyl; R2 is H or methyl; m is an integer of 1W5; and n is a positive integer. It is preferable to add the resin of said formula in an amt. of ≥20wt%, especially, ≥40wt%. An undercoat layer (adhesive layer) having a barrier function and an adhesion function may be formed on said substrate.
