CONDUCTIVE ROLLER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

Provided are a conductive roller such as a charging roller and a method for manufacturing the conductive roller capable of suppressing abnormal electrical discharge in the axial direction of a roller and pinhole leak, and less prone to degradation of electrical characteristics even after long-term use. The conductive roller is formed by covering the outer peripheral surface of an axial body gaplessly with a conductive fiber oriented in the same direction. A polymer fiber is used as the fiber.
