Developing member, process cartridge, and electrophotographic image forming apparatus
Abstract:
The developing member has an electroconductive substrate, and an elastic layer having a mono-layer structure on the substrate as a surface layer, wherein the elastic layer has a thickness of T μm and a volume resistivity of 1.0×105 Ω·cm to 1.0×1012 Ω·cm, and includes a first resin as a main binder; and the elastic layer further includes a second resin having a structural unit represented by Formula (1), in a region extending toward a first surface from a second surface by a depth of t μm, where the first surface is defined as a surface of the elastic layer on a side facing the substrate, and the second surface is defined as a surface thereof opposite to the first surface, wherein in the region, a concentration of ether bonds is higher on the second surface side than on the first surface side (provided that T>t):
