Abstract

The present invention is a carrier for electrophotography in which a surface of at least a core material is coated with a resin, in which the coating resin contains a fluorine modified silicone resin and an aminosilane coupling agent, and in which the carrier charges a toner negatively. Consequently, a carrier with a high durability and a long lifetime for electrophotography is provided, in which the charge amount does not decrease at high temperature or high humidity nor extremely increase at low temperature or low humidity, in which a deterioration of a developing agent caused by stripping of a coating layer is prevented, and in which a deterioration caused by formation of spent toner of a toner is not caused.
