PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly durable carrier for two-component developer showing high durability even in the combination with toner containing a release agent. SOLUTION: In the carrier having a coating film comprising at least a binder resin and particles, the particle size (D) and the film thickness (h) of the binder resin satisfy the relation of 1<[D/h]<10, and the particles are subjected to the surface treatment with a single or two or more kinds of siloxane compounds expressed by general formula (1). In the general formula (1), A represents hydrogen atom or methyl group, the proportion of hydrogen atoms to whole A ranges 0.1 to 50%, and n represents an integer of≥0. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
