PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tubular body which has optimized constitution and structure and improved bending resistance and surface resistance while maintaining mechanical strength, and to stabilize transfer function of an image forming apparatus which uses an endless belt using the tubular body.SOLUTION: A tubular body (endless belt) is formed of a resin layer having a sea-island structure which comprises a sea part 10A including thermoplastic resin and an island part 10B including copolymer formed by copolymerizing thermoplastic resin with silicone resin and carbon black 10C. The tubular body is applied as an intermediate transfer belt of an image forming apparatus and a recording medium transfer conveyance belt. |
