Abstract:
Provided is an electrophotographic belt having an endless shape including a base layer, wherein the base layer includes a polyimide film containing polyimide serving as a binder resin and a carbon nanotube, wherein the polyimide has an imidization ratio of 80% or more, wherein the carbon nanotube has at least one resin selected from the group consisting of: polyphenylsulfone; polysulfone; and polyethersulfone present on at least part of a surface thereof. The base layer has a tensile strength of 200 MPa or more in each of a peripheral direction thereof and a direction perpendicular to the peripheral direction.
