| 摘要 |
A developing roller for electrophotography is disclosed which is composed of a conductive mandrel, a charge-providing layer having a charge-providing performance to a non-magnetic one-component toner, formed at the surface of the roller, a base layer having an elasticity, formed at a position nearer to the mandrel of the roller than the charge-providing layer and an elastic intermediate layer formed at a position between the base layer and the charge-providing layer. The elastic intermediate layer is formed of a composition having a contact angle to water which is smaller than that of a composition for forming the base layer. Also, disclosed are a developing apparatus, an apparatus unit and an image forming apparatus using the developing roller. <IMAGE> |
