Electrophotographic member, fixing device, image forming apparatus, and method of forming surface layer of electrophotographic member

Abstract

An electrophotographic member includes a foamed elastic layer and a surface layer that is provided on the foamed elastic layer, in which the surface layer contains a polysiloxane compound having a T unit represented by a formula: [R1SiO3/2]m (in the formula, R1 represents an organic group, m represents an integer of 2 or more, and at least one R1 among a plurality of R1's present in the T unit is a group including at least one of an alkyl group or an aryl group).
