摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make mass-producible an organic/inorganic hybrid useful as a material for a roll member or a belt member of a copier or a printer for an electrophotographic system. PSOLUTION: The organic/inorganic hybrid material is prepared by heat treating a solution containing an organosilicon compound having, at its one terminal or both terminals, a functional group or groups reactive with a metal alkoxide to remove water and a low-molecular-weight component from the solution; adding a metal oxide to the heat treated organosilicon compound solution to give an organic/inorganic hybrid sol liquid, and thermally gelling this sol liquid. A heat-resistant elastic material excellent in surface smoothness and mold releasability and having a low hardness is prepared by applying the organic/inorganic hybrid to a substrate and heating it; the elastic material is useful as a roll member or a belt member of a copier or a printer for an electrophotographic system.
