Abstract
An intermediate transfer member including a base layer, wherein the base layer contains a thermoplastic resin and an electroconductive filler dispersed in the thermoplastic resin, and wherein the base layer has a volume resistivity of 1×106 to 1×1013 Ω·cm, and the base layer has an electroconductive path index of 0.20 or less.
Claims12
An intermediate transfer member comprising a base layer,
- the base layer containing a thermoplastic resin and an electroconductive filler dispersed in the thermoplastic resin,
- the base layer having a volume resistivity of 1×106 to 1×1013 Ω·cm, and having an electroconductive path index of 0.20 or less.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first image bearing member;
- an intermediate transfer member onto which an unfixed toner image formed on the first image bearing member is primarily transferred;
- and
- a secondary transfer unit configured to secondarily transfer the toner image primarily transferred onto the intermediate transfer member onto a second image bearing member,
- wherein the intermediate transfer member has a base layer,
- the base layer contains a thermoplastic resin and an electroconductive filler dispersed in the thermoplastic resin, and
- the base layer has a volume resistivity of 1×106 to 1×1013 Ω·cm, and has an electroconductive path index of 0.20 or less.
