Carrier for two-component developer

A carrier for an electrostatic latent image developer, comprising:

• a magnetic particulate core material;
• and
• a resin layer overlying the magnetic particulate core material,
• wherein the resin layer comprises a resin obtained by heat treatment of a copolymer including a site derived from a monomer component having the following formula (1) and a site derived from a monomer component having the following formula (2), and
• wherein the resin layer comprises a cross-linked material obtained by hydrolysis of the copolymer to produce a silanol group and condensation using an organotitanium compound:
• wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group;
• m represents an alkylene group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms;
• R2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
• R3 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms;
• X represents 10 to 90 mol %;
• and Y represents 10 to 90 mol %.
