Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
To provide a charging member that can not easily cause faulty cleaning on a photosensitive member while having a flexibility high enough to form a nip between it and the photosensitive member in a sufficient width. The charging member has an electro-conductive support and an elastic layer that is a surface layer, which elastic layer has at its surface a region having been cured by irradiation with electron rays, where this region supports spherical polyethylene particles in such a state that the spherical polyethylene particles are exposed to the surface of the elastic layer, thereby making the surface roughened.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A process for producing a charging member comprising an electro-conductive support and an elastic layer as a surface layer, the elastic layer being formed by irradiating an outer peripheral surface of a vulcanized rubber layer with an electron ray, the elastic layer being a single layer and a sole layer, and having a cured region resulting from the irradiation with the electron ray only at an outer peripheral surface portion thereof, wherein the cured region…
