Patent ID: 8837985

Claim:
An electrophotographic member, comprising: a support; an elastic layer formed on the support; and a surface layer covering a surface of the elastic layer and containing a urethane resin, and, wherein the urethane resin comprises a reaction product of a hydroxyl group-terminated prepolymer obtained by reacting the following polyester polyol (1) or the following polyester polyol (2) with a polyisocyanate, and an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer obtained by reacting the following polyester polyol (3) or the following polyester polyol (4) with a polyisocyanate; wherein polyester polyol (1) is: a reaction product of at least one carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of adipic acid and suberic acid, an aliphatic triol having 3 or more and 6 or less carbon atoms, and an aliphatic diol having 4 or more and 6 or less carbon atoms; polyester polyol (2) is: a reaction product of ε-caprolactone and an aliphatic triol having 3 or more and 6 or less carbon atoms; polyester polyol (3) is: a reaction product of at least one carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of adipic acid and suberic acid, an aliphatic triol having 3 or more and 6 or less carbon atoms, and an aliphatic diol having 4 or more and 6 or less carbon atoms; polyester polyol (4) is: a reaction product of ε-caprolactone and an aliphatic triol having 3 or more and 6 or less carbon atoms.
