Abstract

The photoconductive range of a photoconductive polymer can be extended to include longer wavelengths, and/or the photo-induced discharge rate of a photoconductive polymer can be increased by incorporating effective amounts of clusters of IIB-VIB, IIB-VB, IIIB-VB, IIIB-VIB, IB-VIB and/or IVB-VIIB semiconductors, said clusters having a size within the range of from about 0.001 .mu.m to 10 .mu.m. Compositions comprising a photoconductive polymer and an effective amount of said clusters may be used in electrostatic imaging processes.
