Developer-carrying member having exposed surface containing graphite or molybdenum disulfide particles

摘要

A developer-carrying member has a conductive substrate and a conductive resin coating layer provided on the surface of the conductive substrate. The conductive resin coating layer has a resin in which graphite particles or molybdenum disulfide particles stand dispersed, and the particles are uncovered to the surface of the conductive resin coating layer at a specific degree of uncovering. Also disclosed are a process for producing the developer-carrying member, a developing apparatus having the developer-carrying member, and an image-forming apparatus having the developing apparatus.
