Conductive roller

Abstract

A conductive roll to be used as a developing roll, a charging roll, a transfer roll or the like in an electrophotographic apparatus such as a copying machine, a printer or a facsimile, of the present invention comprises a base rubber layer formed on a peripheral surface of a shaft, an intermediate layer formed on a peripheral surface of the base rubber layer, and a surface layer formed on a peripheral surface of the intermediate layer, the surface layer being composed of a resin composition comprising: (A) a silicone-grafted acrylic polymer which comprises repeating units represented by the following general formula (1), wherein an acrylic polymer portion of the silicone-grafted acrylic polymer exclusive of a structural portion derived from a siloxane has a glass-transition temperature of -35 to 30.degree. C.: --(Y).sub.k -- --(Z).sub.n -- (1) (wherein Y is a structural portion derived from an acrylic monomer; Z is a structural portion derived from the acrylic monomer, which has a graft portion derived from a siloxane; k is a positive number of 1 to 3,000; and n is a positive number of 1 to 3,000); and (B) an isocyanate curing agent.
