An endless belt includes a substrate layer, and a first surface layer that is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the substrate layer and that includes a cross-linked fluororesin layer. A layer containing a cross-linked fluororesin forms the inner circumferential surface of the belt. Martens hardness of the inner circumferential surface of the belt at 130° C. is higher than Martens hardness of the outer circumferential surface of the belt at 130° C.

A fixing device includes a heating member that heats a toner image on a recording medium and includes a rotatable belt member, a heat source, a pressing member, a sliding sheet, and a pressure-applying member. The pressing member presses the belt member against the pressure-applying member. A surface of the pressing member that opposes the belt member includes a flat portion or a recessed portion having a radius of curvature of approximately 100 mm or more. The sliding sheet is disposed between the belt member and the pressing member and includes a sliding layer containing cross-linked polytetrafluoroethylene, the content of which in resin contained in the layer is approximately 25 mass % or more and approximately 75 mass % or less. The pressure-applying member presses the recording medium against the belt member and rotates to transport the recording medium while nipping it between itself and the belt member.

A tubular member includes a resin layer containing a thermoplastic resin and a conductive material, and the resin layer forming a sea part in which the thermoplastic resin becomes a matrix phase, wherein an area ratio of the sea part to a portion in a range of 5 μm respectively to a front surface portion side and a rear surface portion side with a central portion of the resin layer in a thickness direction as a center is greater by 3% to 15% than a greater area ratio between an area ratio of the sea part to a portion in a range of 10 μm from a front surface portion of the resin layer in the thickness direction and an area ratio of the sea part to a portion in a range of 10 μm from a rear surface portion in the thickness direction.
摘要:
Provided is a tubular body manufacturing method including preparing a resin composition containing a crystalline thermoplastic resin and molding the tubular body, using an extrusion molding machine that includes a cylindrical portion and a transport member which has a shaft member and a protrusion and is divided into a supply portion, a compressing portion and a measuring portion, by melting, kneading and transporting the resin composition through heating of the heat source and rotation of the transport member, and then extruding the molten resin composition, in which, when ΔTm (° C.) is a difference between a crystalline melt finish temperature and a crystalline melt start temperature of the crystalline thermoplastic resin, D (mm) is a diameter of the transport member, and Lc (mm) is a length of the compressing portion of the transport member, a relationship of following Expression (1) is satisfied: (ΔTm/10)−3
摘要:
A tubular member includes a siloxane-modified polyetherimide, a polyetherimide except the siloxane-modified polyetherimide, and a conductive material, wherein a content of the siloxane-modified polyetherimide with respect to a total content of the siloxane-modified polyetherimide and the polyetherimide except the siloxane-modified polyetherimide at a surface layer portion is 40% by weight or more.
摘要:
A tubular body for an image forming apparatus is formed by subjecting a tubular member containing a thermoplastic resin to thermal processing. The thermal processing is performed so that at least one edge of the tubular member is thermally melted and then cured in at least a portion of the edge in a peripheral direction.
