<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a charging member hardly undergoing current carrying degradation (increase in electric resistance accompanying a change of a dispersed state of conductive particles by energy of current carrying and abutting load). <P>SOLUTION: This method of manufacturing the charging member having a conductive elastic layer containing conductive particles includes (A) a process of kneading a non-crosslinked mixture containing non-crosslinked rubber, the conductive particles, and a crosslinking agent, (B) a process of crosslinking the non-crosslinked mixture and molding the conductive elastic layer, and (C) a process of dipping the conductive elastic layer in supercritical fluid containing supercritical carbon dioxide. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
