Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to an aspect of the invention, a tubular member includes a siloxane-modified polyetherimide, a polyetherimide except the siloxane-modified polyetherimide, a polyether ether ketone, and a conductive material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A tubular member comprising: a siloxane-modified polyetherimide, a polyetherimide except the siloxane-modified polyetherimide, a polyether ether ketone, and a conductive material. 2 . The tubular member according to claim 1 , wherein a total content (% by weight) of the siloxane-modified polyetherimide and the polyetherimide except the siloxane-modified polyetherimide is greater than a content (% by weight) of the polyether ether ketone. 3 . The tubular member according to claim 1 , wherein a total content of the siloxane-modified polyetherimide, the polyetherimide except the siloxane-modified polyetherimide, and the polyether ether ketone is equal to or greater than about 90% by weight of a total content of all the resin components. 4 . The tubular member according to claim 2 , wherein a total content of the siloxane-modified polyetherimide, the polyetherimide except the siloxane-modified polyetherimide, and the polyether ether ketone is equal to or greater than about 90% by weight of a total content of all the resin components. 5 . A transfer belt comprising: the tubular member according to claim 1 . 6 . A transfer unit comprising: the transfer belt according to claim 5 ; and a plurality of rolls over which the transfer belt is stretched in a state where tension is applied thereto, wherein the transfer unit is detachable from an image forming apparatus. 7 . An image forming apparatus comprising: an image holding member; a charging unit that charges a surface of the image holding member; a latent image forming unit that forms a latent image on the charged surface of the image holding member; a developing unit that develops the latent image on the surface of the image holding member by using a toner to form a toner image; a transfer unit that includes the transfer belt according to claim 5 and transfers the toner image formed on the surface of the image holding member to a recording medium; and a fixing unit that fixes the toner image transferred to the recording medium.
