Abstract
The carrier is used for a two-component developer for developing an electrostatic latent image, and includes a particulate magnetic core material; and a cover layer located on a surface of the particulate magnetic core material and including a crosslinked material. The crosslinked material is formed by hydrolyzing a copolymer including at least a unit (A) having a specific acrylic siloxane structure including a tris(trialkylsiloxy)silanyl group and a unit (B) having a specific acrylic silicone structure to form a material having a silanol group, and subjecting the material having a silanol group to a condensation reaction using an organic zirconium-containing catalyst.
