    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suitably use an elastic material as an electroconductive roller for electrophotography without generating reduction of its performance by elevation or change of a resistance value even when turning on electricity for a long time. SOLUTION: An elastic material of electrically semiconductive polymer uses a foam of foaming polyurethane as a base material wherein the electric resistance is 1×105 to 1×1010 [Ωcm] at a measured voltage of 1,000 V under a condition of 28 deg.C and at 85% relative humidity; the electric resistance is less than 5 times of the initial one when continuously turning on electricity for 8 hr under the same condition; and further the electric resistance at the measured voltage of 10 V under conditions of the same temperature/humidity is not more than 2 times of that at the measured voltage of 5,000 V.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To excellently and surely perform transfer operation over long term without increasing the resistance value of a transfer member even in the case of repeating the transfer operation for a long time by impressing a current so that the positive and negative polarities of a DC current flowing in the transfer member may be inverted by a specified charge amount in every specified interval in the midst of a transfer cycle. SOLUTION: In the case of impressing the DC current between the transfer member and transfer paper so that a series of transfer operation may be performed, the positive and negative polarities of the impressed DC current are inverted by the specified charge amount at the specified interval for a specified time by a proper current inverting means. In such a case, it is desirable to set the integrated value of the current in a direction reverse to a direction where the transfer paper is electrified to have the specified polarity for the purpose of transfer, that is, a reverse direction integrated current value to 25-175% of the integrated current value in a forward direction where the transfer paper is electrified to have the specified polarity. Namely, resistance rising rate due to impressing the voltage is expressed as the function of the impressed integrated current value, whereby the rising of the resistance value of a conductive member is restrained by performing the transfer operation in the cycle where the reverse direction integrated current value required to restrain the rising of the resistance is impressed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a conductive member which can be used for a mechanism of, e.g. electrophotography capable of sufficiently withstanding the heat generated when a high voltage is applied for a long time by using a polyurethane containing a specified polyether polyol as the polyol component. SOLUTION: In a conductive member used for a mechanism of, e.g. electrophotography, the member is made of a polyurethane containing a polyether polyol being a random glycerol/ethylene oxide/propylene oxide adduct as the polyol component. It is necessary that the conductive member used for the above object should have a specified electrical resistance, should sufficiently withstand the heat generated when a high voltage is applied for a long time, should not suffer from the contamination of the photoreceptor with especially the decomposition product of the polymeric member, and should not cause a change in electrical resistance. The conductive member can satisfy all of these requirements because the polyol component of the polyurethane contains both ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
