An oil application roller (136) has a core shaft (12) and an oil retention/supply layer (14) formed to cover the outer peripheral surface of the core shaft (12). The oil retention/supply layer (14) includes a porous elastic material which exhibits no substantial swelling against an offset-preventing oil used, and is impregnated with a mixture containing an offset-preventing oil and a curable oil-retention material. The curable oil-retention material is cured. The oil application roller (136) is for use in a fixing unit (112) of an electrophotographic image-forming apparatus. |
