Abstract
The invention provides a charging roller which includes a rubber member with a surface subjected to a hardening treatment using a solvent containing at least an isocyanate compound, and which prevents leakage of an ionic conductive agent even if the charging roller is placed in high-temperature and high-humidity environment for a long period of time. The charging roller is made by forming a rubber layer on a metal core. The rubber layer is an epichlorohydrin based rubber base material to which the ionic conductive agent is added, and is subjected to a surface treatment by applying a solution containing the isocyanate compound thereon and heating it. The surface treatment is carried out under such conditions that a coefficient of dynamic friction at a contact portion between the rubber layer and a photoreceptor becomes 0.4 or less.
