Abstract:
Provided are a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus each suppressed in fluctuation in charging potential at the time of its long-term use. The process cartridge includes: an electrophotographic photosensitive member having a surface layer containing a resin and a charge-transporting substance; and a charging member configured to charge the electrophotographic photosensitive member, wherein an average of Martens hardnesses of the surface layer of the electrophotographic photosensitive member measured at a pushing force of 7 mN is 245 N/mm 2  or more, and wherein in a core defined by three-dimensional surface texture standards (ISO 25178-2:2012) of the surface of the charging member, an average of Martens hardnesses measured at a pushing force of 0.04 mN is 2 N/mm 2  or more and 20 N/mm 2  or less, and an average of adhesivenesses measured with a scanning probe microscope in a field of view of 2-micrometer square is 70 mV or less.

Claim (Index 3):
A process cartridge according to  claim 2 , wherein the resin is the polyester resin having a structure represented by the general formula (I) and a structure represented by the general formula (II), and the structure represented by the general formula (I) has at least one kind of structure selected from the group consisting of structures represented by the formula (I-1), the formula (I-2), the formula (I-3), and the formula (I-4).
