Abstract
A fixing rotating member includes a base material containing a first resin, a heat generating layer containing silver on the base material, and a protective layer containing a second resin on a surface of the heat generating layer on a side opposite to a side facing the base material, in which the heat generating layer extends in a circumferential direction of an outer peripheral surface of the base material, the heat generating layer is a layer including a porous portion, and at least one of the base material and the protective layer contains particles having a function of preventing oxidation of the heat generating layer.
Claims10
A fixing rotating member comprising:
- a base material comprising a first resin;
- a heat generating layer comprising silver on the base material;
