The cross-linked material contains at least one kind of tertiary amino group. A cleaning blade 62 includes a strip elastic blade 622. A portion of the elastic blade 622 including an image carrier contact part is impregnated with acrylic or/and methacrylic resin, and an acrylic or/and methacrylic resin surface layer 623 is arranged on a surface of the elastic blade 622 including the image carrier contact part. |
