<p>A fixing member suitable for use in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus is formed by providing a silicone rubber surface layer containing a metal compound represented by MmXn, wherein M denotes a metal cation selected from Al, Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Ga, X denotes an anion selected from halogens, inorganic acid ions and organic acid ions, and m and n are positive integers satisfying m x (valence of M) = n x (valence of X). The silicone rubber surface layer can exhibit improved wear resistance while retaining a good toner releasability. <IMAGE></p> |
