Method of producing member for electrophotography and coating liquid

A method of producing a member for electrophotography comprising an electro-conductive support, an elastic layer, and a surface layer, the method comprising:

• a first step of forming, on a surface of the elastic layer, a coat of a surface-layer coating liquid containing a hydrolyzed condensate of a hydrolyzable silane compound represented by the following general formula (1) and a chelate titanium compound represented by the following general formula (2);
• and
• a second step of crosslinking the hydrolyzed condensate in the coat through cleavage of an epoxy group in the hydrolyzed condensate to form the surface layer:
• in the general formula (1), R1 represents a hydrocarbon group represented by any one of the following general formulae (3) to (6), and R2 to R4 each independently represent a hydrocarbon group;
• in the general formula (2), R5 and R6 each independently represent a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 or more and 20 or less carbon atoms, and R7 to R10 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 or more and 3 or less carbon atoms, or an alkoxy group having 1 or more and 3 or less carbon atoms;
• in the general formulae (3) to (6):
• R11 to R13, R16 to R18, R23, R24, R29, and R30 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 or more and 4 or less carbon atoms, a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, or an amino group;
• R14, R15, R19 to R22, R27, R28, and R33 to R36 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 or more and 4 or less carbon atoms;
• R25, R26, R31, and R32 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkoxyl group having 1 or more and 4 or less carbon atoms, or an alkyl group having 1 or more and 4 or less carbon atoms;
• and
• n, m, l, q, s, and t each independently represent an integer of 1 or more and 8 or less, p and r each independently represent an integer of 4 or more and 12 or less, and “*” represents a bonding position with a silicon atom in the general formula (1).
