Liquid silicone rubber mixture, and pressurizing member of a fixing device for an electrophotographic image forming apparatus

Abstract

A liquid silicone rubber mixture, includes an organopolysiloxane having two or more unsaturated aliphatic groups in a molecule thereof; an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having two or more hydrogen atoms bonded to a silicon atom in a molecule thereof; a hydrosilylation catalyst; hollow particles each having a layer containing a thermoplastic resin as a shell; a compound having a hydroxyl group and/or an ether bond in its molecule so that a sum of a number of the hydroxyl group and a number of the ether bond is two or more; and a polycarboxylic acid. A pressurizing member of a fixing device for use in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes an elastic layer containing a silicone rubber on a substrate.
