PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermally stable transfer and fixing member having a good toner transfer rate, good wear and chemical resistances and a reduced susceptibility to swelling. SOLUTION: The transfer and fixing member 7 has a substrate 14, optionally, a conformable intermediate layer 15 and an outer coating 16 thereon. The outer coating 16 comprises a mica-type layered silicate and a silicone elastomer forming a delaminated nano-composite. The substrate 14 is associated with a heating member. |
