摘要:
A used developer-carrying member having a resin coating layer on a substrate is regenerated through a step of scraping the resin coating layer of the used developer-carrying member to form a developer-carrying member surface having unevenness showing a central line-average roughness Ra of at most 0.8 &mgr;m, and a step of coating the developer-carrying member surface having the unevenness with a coating layer of a resinous composition comprising at least a binder resin and electroconductive fine powder. The regenerated developer-carrying member can be reinstalled in a developing apparatus and subjected to repetitive electrophotographic image forming cycles.

摘要:
The method of forming a radiation shielding structure includes a first adhesive layer, a resin layer, and a metal foil laminated sequentially on a release layer of a plastic film. A metal layer pattern is formed from the metal foil. The first adhesive layer, the resin layer, and the metal layer pattern are formed sequentially from the bottom on a transparent substrate by separating the release layer from the first adhesive layer along an interface and then adhering the first adhesive layer to the transparent substrate.
