PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conductive member that has leakage resistance property and reduces image failure when used in an image forming apparatus.;SOLUTION: A conductive member has a conductive core body 14, and a conductive elastic layer 16 including an ion conductive agent formed on the conductive core body. The conductive elastic layer 16 consists of a single composition; resistance in the single composition of the conductive elastic layer 16 has resistance gradient in a thickness direction; and the resistance is low on the conductive core body 14 side and becomes higher toward the surface side of the conductive elastic layer 16.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
