INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BELT, MANUFACTURING METHOD OF INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BELT, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE INTERMEDIATE TRANSFER BELT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve durability of an intermediate transfer belt manufactured with a thermoplastic resin.SOLUTION: There is provided an intermediate transfer belt formed of a belt material including at least an electron beam crosslinked thermoplastic resin and a conductive agent, where the thermoplastic resin in the inner peripheral surface of the belt is crosslinked by an electron beam. The conductive agent is preferably conductive particles and/or conductive resin; conductive carbon black is preferable as the conductive particles, and a polymer including a polyether unit is preferable as the conductive resin.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
