Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the electrification preventive effect and at the same time, obtain a high quality image by lowering the volume resistivity of silicone rubber while the hardness of rubber is kept small. CONSTITUTION:A silicone rubber layer formed on a core metal is combined with the 0.01-50 weight parts of titanium oxide surface-treated with an electrification preventive agent or the 0.01-300 weight parts of titanium oxide surface- treated with a metallic oxide of electric conductivity, to the 100 weight parts of silicone rubber. As a result, a sufficient white color quality is given to an electric conductivity elastic body roller, and the electrification preventive effect is heightened while keeping low hardness, and durability can be improved.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a roller used in the scanner part of a facsimile machine, a silicone rubber material is placed on a metal core shaft made of aluminum or the like through a brimer. The reverse version is generally used.

However, silicone rubber generally has a volume resistivity of 1.
Since QIO~1Q18Ωcm is large, electric charge accumulates on the rubber surface and the roller becomes easily charged.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) For this reason, rollers using rubber to which antistatic agents, metal powder, carbon, etc. are added have been proposed as rollers having an antistatic effect. However, those to which an antistatic agent is added have the problem that the antistatic effect decreases significantly after being used for a while, and they cannot withstand long-term use in locks. Furthermore, although the volume resistivity is lowered by adding metal powder such as Ni or Ag, there are problems such as an increase in cost, and the present situation is that this is hardly ever implemented.

The most commonly used rubber is one that uses carbon added, but if a large amount of carbon is added, the carbon that falls off from the rubber will stain the paper, and the hardness of the rubber will increase, making it difficult to bond between the scanner sensor and the roller. There are problems such as not being able to obtain a sufficient nip width, and because the rough rollers are colored, they tend to absorb light, resulting in deterioration in image quality such as blurring of the outline of characters.
