Abstract
Provided is an electro-conductive belt including an electro-conductive resin layer. The electro-conductive resin layer includes a matrix containing a thermoplastic resin having at least one bond selected from the group consisting of an amide bond, an ester bond and a carbonate bond, a domain containing an ionic liquid containing a hexafluorophosphate anion or an anion expressed by formula (1), and particles containing a silicone resin having a structure expressed by formula (2): R0—SiO3/2. Formula (1)
Claims8
An electro-conductive belt, comprising:
- an electro-conductive resin layer, the electro-conductive resin layer containing:
- (1) a matrix containing a thermoplastic resin having at least one bond selected from the group consisting of an amide bond, an ester bond and a carbonate bond;
- (2) particles;
- and
- (3) a domain containing an ionic liquid including a hexafluorophosphate anion or an anion expressed by the following formula (1):
- wherein m and n each represent an integer of 1 to 4,
- wherein the particles contain a silicone resin having a structural unit expressed by the following formula (2):
- R0—SiO3/2,
- wherein R0 represents a hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 1 to 6, and
- wherein the amount of the particles is in the range of 30 to 100 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the ionic liquid.
