A carrier includes carrier particles. Each of the carrier particles includes a carrier core and a coating layer covering the surface of the carrier core. The coating layer contains a silicone resin and conductive particles. Each of the conductive particles includes a transparent conductive substrate composed of a transparent conductive material and a film covering a surface of the transparent conductive substrate. The film contains silica.

Carrier and two-component developer

The thermoplastic elastomer composition contains a thermoplastic elastomer and a pigment.

To obtain a modified polypropylene-based resin which shows specific viscoelasticity and from which an expanded sheet having a low open cell ratio can be obtained.

Modified polypropylene-based resin, polypropylene-based resin expanded sheet, expanded resin-made container, and method for producing modified polypropylene-based resin

A toner has positive chargeability. Particles of the toner each include a toner mother particle and external additive particles adhering to a surface of the toner mother particle. The external additive particles include first external additive particles and second external additive particles. The first external additive particles have positive chargeability and are each a first silica particle having a surface treated with a positive chargeability imparting agent and a hydrophobing agent. The second external additive particles have negative chargeability and are each a second silica particle having a surface treated only with a silane compound. The silane compound is at least one alkylalkoxysilane represented by formula (I) shown below. In formula (I), Rrepresents an alkyl group having a carbon number of at least 8 and no greater than 16. R, R, and Reach represent, independently of one another, an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group. 

Electrostatic latent image developing toner, image forming apparatus, and image formation method

An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes toner particles. Each of the toner particles includes a toner core containing a binder resin and a releasing agent, and a shell layer coating the toner core. The releasing agent has a melting point Mpof no less than 50&#xb0; C. and no greater than 100&#xb0; C. The releasing agent has a number average dispersion diameter of no less than 30 nm and no greater than 500 nm. The shell layer is made from a resin including a unit derived from a monomer of a thermosetting resin. The thermosetting resin is one or more amino resins from among a melamine resin, a urea resin, and a glyoxal resin.
