A cleaning blade includes a contact part coming into contact with a member to be cleaned, the contact part being configurated by a member containing polyurethane rubber produced by polymerizing at least a polyol component, which contains over 50 mol % and 75 mol % or less of 1,4-butanediol relative to the entire polyol components, with a polyisocyanate component. The ratio (M100/Re) of 100% modulus (M100 [MPa]) to rebound resilience coefficient (Re [%]) is 0.25 or more. The rebound resilience coefficient (Re [%]) is 25% or more.

Cleaning blade, process cartridge, and image forming apparatus

A tubular body for an image forming apparatus is formed by subjecting a tubular member containing a thermoplastic resin to thermal processing. The thermal processing is performed so that at least one edge of the tubular member is thermally melted and then cured in at least a portion of the edge in a peripheral direction.

Tubular body, tubular body unit, and intermediate transfer body for image forming apparatus, image forming apparatus, and method for manufacturing tubular body

Disclosed is an intermediate transfer member including, a resin layer as an outermost layer, in which plural recessed portions having a curved inner wall are scattered on the surface thereof.

Intermediate transfer member and method for manufacturing the same, intermediate transfer member unit, and image forming apparatus

A tubular member formed of a polyamide resin layer includes carbon black and a semi-aromatic polyamide resin having at least a repeating unit structure derived from an aromatic dicarboxylic compound and an aliphatic diamine compound with the alkyl carbon number in the range of from 9 to 13.

Tubular member, tubular member unit, intermediate transfer member, and image forming apparatus

A tubular article includes a layer containing a polyimide resin, a fluorinated polyimide resin and fluorine resin particles as an outermost layer.
