HEAT-GENERATING FIXING BELT, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat-generating fixing belt that experiences less fluctuation in a surface resistance value and a volume resistance value even after long period of use and prevents cracks and ruptures on a heat generating layer, and an image forming apparatus using the heat-generating fixing belt.

SOLUTION: A heat-generating fixing belt is obtained by laminating at least a heat generating layer, an elastic layer, and a mold releasing layer. The heat generating layer has a pair of power-supply electrodes on both sides thereof, and is formed of a fabric using carbon fiber threads covered with a polyimide resin.
