THERMOPLASTIC RESIN ENDLESS BELT FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY, ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS WITH THERMOPLASTIC RESIN ENDLESS BELT FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THERMOPLASTIC RESIN ENDLESS BELT FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endless belt for electrophotography which is low in cost, is easily controlled to a desired electric resistance, and excels in mechanical characteristics, and also to provide an electrophotographic apparatus with the endless belt for electrophotography and a method for manufacturing the endless belt for electrophotography. PSOLUTION: The thermoplastic resin endless belt for electrophotography contains composite particles obtained by coating surfaces of base particles comprising inorganic particles whose aspect ratio is 10 with a carbon-based conductive substance, a content of the composite particles is 5-100 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic resin, and an electric resistance of the endless belt is in a range of 110SP4/SPto 110SP12/SP.
