Abstract:
Provided is an electrophotographic member, the member including an elastic layer that is formed by graphite particles dispersed in a silicone rubber and has high thermal conductivity in the thickness direction. The electrophotographic member has a substrate and an elastic layer on the substrate, in which the elastic layer contains a cured product of an addition-curable liquid silicone rubber mixture including graphite particles, the dibutyl phthalate (DBP) oil absorption number of the graphite particles is from 80 cm 3 /100 g to 150 cm 3 /100 g, the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction of the elastic layer is from 1.1 W/(m·K) to 5.0 W/(m·K), and the modulus in tension of the elastic layer is from 0.1 MPa to 4.0 MPa.

Claim (Index 17):
The fixing apparatus according to  claim 16 , wherein the electrophotographic member has an endless belt shape,\n wherein the substrate has an endless belt shape, wherein the elastic layer is positioned on an outer circumferential surface of the substrate, and wherein a heater is arranged to be in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the substrate.
