Intermediate transfer body, transfer unit, and image forming apparatus

Abstract

An intermediate transfer body includes a semiconductive layer containing at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a polyimide resin, a polyamideimide resin, an aromatic polyether ether ketone resin, a polyphenylene sulfide resin, and a polyetherimide resin, conductive carbon particles, and at least one silicone oil selected from the group consisting of dimethyl polysiloxane and an organic group-substituted dimethyl polysiloxane, in which a number of conductive paths calculated based on three-dimensional structural analysis of a cross section of the semiconductive layer in a thickness direction is 110 or more, and a value obtained by subtracting a volume resistivity ρv (log Ω·cm) of the semiconductive layer from a surface resistivity ρs (log Ω/□) of the semiconductive layer is 1.5 or more and 2.0 or less.
