    摘要: A process produces a belt-shaped member to be used in an image-forming apparatus is disclosed in which a toner image held on a latent-image-bearing member is electrostatically transferred under application of a voltage via the belt-shaped transfer member. The process includes the steps of melt-extruding a material containing a thermoplastic resin, from a circular die into a cylindrical film; forming the resultant cylindrical film by stretching in such a way that the cylindrical film comes to have a thickness smaller than the die gap of the circular die; and cutting the cylindrical film thus formed, into a seamless belt having a thickness of from 40 &mgr;m to 300 &mgr;m and a modulus in tension of 600 MPa or higher. The stretched cylindrical film is formed to have a thickness not larger than ⅓ of the die gap of the circular die. A belt-shaped transfer member may be produced by the above-described process. The so-produced belt-shaped transfer member is usable as a transfer belt in an image-forming apparatus in which a toner image held on a latent-image-bearing member is electrostatically transferred under application of a voltage via the belt-shaped transfer member.

    摘要: An intermediate transfer member is formed by at least a base layer and a surface layer. The base layer is formed by epichlorohydrin rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber mixed in a certain weight ratio (preferably 1:9 to 9:1). The surface layer is formed by urethane resin or elastomer and a fluorine-containing compound powder. The fluorine-containing compound powder may preferably be contained in an amount of 20-80 wt. % based on the surface layer. The intermediate transfer member is suitable for full-color image formation by electrophotography and is effective in improving a transfer performance and providing clear images without causing transfer failure even in repetitive use for a long period.

    摘要: A toner for developing an electrostatic image has toner particles containing i) a binder resin comprising a resin composition with a domain-matrix structure and ii) a colorant.The resin composition with a domain-matrix a structure is comprised of a resin P1 that forms domain particles and a resin P2 that forms a matrix. The resin P1 has a glass transition temperature Tg1 of from 0.degree. C. to 60.degree. C., and the resin P2 has a glass transition temperature Tg2 of from 40.degree. C. to 90.degree. C. The glass transition temperature Tg2 of the resin P2 is at least 5.degree. C. higher than the glass transition temperature Tg1 of the resin P1, and the domain particles having an average particle diameter of not larger than 5 .mu.m.
