Patent ID: 7728060

Claim:
A conductive roller produced by molding a composition comprising: an elastomer composition composed of a rubber component containing at least one of diene rubber and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber and a mixture of a thermoplastic elastomer and a thermoplastic resin, said rubber component being dynamically crosslinked and dispersed in said mixture; an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether and an anion-containing salt having fluoro groups and sulfonyl groups, both of which are added to said elastomer composition to form a conductive dynamically crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer composition; and a micro-capsule composed of a polymer, having acrylic groups, which forms an outer shell thereof, said micro-capsule being mixed with said conductive dynamically crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer composition, wherein Shore A hardness of said conductive roller specified in JIS K6253 is not more than 40 at 23° C.
