<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an intermediate transfer body including a layer containing a thermoplastic resin, a conductive resin, and conductive inorganic particles, while ensuring electric characteristics and flame retardancy.SOLUTION: An intermediate transfer body includes a layer containing a thermoplastic resin, a conductive resin, and conductive inorganic particles. The layer has a sea-island structure where a discontinuous phase formed of a conductive resin exists in a continuous phase formed of a thermoplastic resin. The conductive resin has an elliptical shape in a cross section in a direction perpendicular to a rotation direction of the intermediate transfer body. A minor axis b thereof falls within a range of 0.5-5μm. A ratioαof a cross sectional area to the conductive resin in the cross section in the direction perpendicular to the rotation direction of the intermediate transfer body falls within a range of 2-20%.</p> |
