PRODUCTION OF ELECTRIFYING MEMBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an electrifying member which prevents the contamination of a photoreceptor and ensures superior image quality by preventing the bleeding of a low molecular weight material to the surface of a protective layer. SOLUTION: An electrically semiconductive elastic body layer 202 comprising a thermoplastic elastomer containing a dispersed ionic conductive agent is formed on an electrically conductive substrate 201, a low molecular weight material present near the surface layer is bled and removed and then the surface of the electrically semiconductive elastic body layer 202 is coated with a protective layer 203 which prevents the bleeding of the ionic conductive agent to the surface to produce the objective electrifying member 102.
