Further, in the elastic single layer, as a roller used in an electrophotographic apparatus or the like, moderate electric resistance, electrical leakage prevention, bleeding prevention of contaminants from the elastic material to the photosensitive member, abrasion resistance or Since the function relating to non-adhesiveness to toner etc. is insufficient, in order to improve those functions, a surface layer made of a material different from that of the elastic body is applied to the elastic body by a coating method such as roll coating, bar coating or spraying. Forming on the surface is performed.

In order to form a good surface layer on the elastic body by the above coating method, no holes are present on the surface of the underlying elastic body layer, and the elastic body is swollen by the solvent of the coating solution. It is necessary to prevent it from changing its outer diameter and causing deformation. Therefore, a solid (non-foamed body) is used as the elastic body, a so-called skin structure porous body with no bubbles on the surface is used, or bubbles on the surface are stopped with a solventless liquid elastomer or the like. It is necessary to use a porous body having the above-mentioned properties. In those cases, the hardness becomes higher than that in the case where the porous body is used as it is, so that the following problems occur.
That is, as the hardness of the roller increases, the nip amount of the roller with respect to the photosensitive drum or the image recording paper decreases, and in a severe case, a gap is locally generated between the recording paper and the roller, which is necessary for development and transfer. The electric function cannot be achieved. If the contact force of the roller with respect to the photosensitive drum or image recording paper is increased in order to prevent the occurrence of this problem, an unreasonable force acts on the photosensitive drum and toner to accelerate the deterioration of the photosensitive drum and the roller itself, and Permanent distortion is caused, which in turn makes the nip amount unstable, or causes a local non-contact state.

However, as a result of studies by the present inventor, in the roller laminated by simply covering the tube with the porous body, the resistance value is different in each part of the roller and the resistance value is different. Not only has poor uniformity, but also has the problem that the resistance value changes with each measurement, and when the lamination roller is used as a charging roller, discharge occurs at the interface between the tube and the porous body, that is, inside the tube. , It turned out that sufficient performance could not be exhibited. Further, these problems are that the porous body has a low hardness like ordinary flexible urethane foam, and before being covered with the porous body, the inner diameter of the tube is smaller than the outer diameter of the porous body. It was also found that the closer the outer diameter of the porous body, the more likely it is to occur.

The conductive tube 21 is made of plastic and has a resistance value larger than that of the conductive elastic porous body 11, and in particular, is larger than the resistance value of the conductive porous body 11.
Those having a large value of about 0 to 10 5 Ω are preferable. The conductive tube 21 is manufactured by molding a plastic compound in which carbon black, a metal, a conductive metal oxide, a conductive polymer or the like is dispersed to adjust the conductivity, by a conventional general plastic molding method such as a melt extrusion method.

If the thickness of the conductive tube 21 is too thick, the elasticity of the cylindrical conductive porous body 11 as the base cannot be reflected and the nip amount cannot be increased. A non-contact point is generated.
As a result, for example, when used as a charging roller, uniform charging is not performed. On the contrary, if it is too thin, the cell (pore) shape on the surface of the cylindrical conductive porous body 11 will appear in the image. Therefore, the thickness of the conductive tube 21 depends on the elastic modulus of the conductive tube 21 and is usually preferably 25 to 250 μm.
