CONDUCTIVE ENDLESS BELT, ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conductive endless belt capable of realizing desired belt performances by uniting reciprocal requirements with respect to surface resistivity and volume resistivity of the belt, and to provide an image forming apparatus using the conductive endless belt. SOLUTION: In the conductive endless belt 100 for transfer and conveyance of a tandem system, a recording medium held by electrostatic adsorption is circulated and driven by a driving member and is conveyed to four kinds of image forming bodies and respective toner images are successively transferred to the recording medium. The conductive endless belt contains no conductive agent on a belt base body 101 and has a surface resin layer 102 of which the volume resistivity is≥1010Ωcm. Preferably, the conductive endless belt has an intermediate resin layer 103 of which the volume resistivity is≤108Ωcm between the belt base body 101 and the surface resin layer 102.
