Abstract
An electrophotographic photoconductor having an excellent crack resistance and wear resistance as well as excellent sensitivity characteristics, while keeping good image characteristics of the photoconductor is provided. In addition, an image-forming apparatus equipped with such an electrophotographic photoconductor is also provided. The electrophotographic photoconductor includes a photosensitive layer containing at least a charge-generating agent, a hole-transfer agent, and a binder resin on a conductive substrate. The hole-transfer agent has a solubility of 5 to 35% by weight with respect to triglyceride oleate and the photosensitive layer contains a compound represented by the following general formula (1) as an additive:
