Patent ID: 7664434

Claim:
A charging member comprising: a support; a conductive elastic layer formed on the support; and a surface layer formed on the conductive elastic layer, wherein the surface layer contains polysiloxane having a fluoroalkyl group and an oxyalkylene group, and wherein the content of the fluoroalkyl group in the polysiloxane is 5.0% by mass or more and 50.0% by mass or less based on the total mass of the polysiloxane, the content of the oxyalkylene group in the polysiloxane is 5.0% by mass or more and 70.0% by mass or less based on the total mass of the polysiloxane, and the content of the siloxane moiety in the polysiloxane is 20.0% by mass or more and 90.0% by mass or less based on the total mass of the polysiloxane.
