Abstract: An electrophotography roller incorporated in an image creating device by the electrophotography comprising a conductive shaft disposed along the center axis, a conductive elastic layer around the shaft, a surface layer on the conductive elastic layer formed concentrically. The JIS A hardness of the conductive elastic layer is 30° or less. The shear modulus of the conductive elastic layer measured in viscoelasticity under the condition of 20° C., 60% PH and 0.1 Hz is 4 105 Pa or more. The width of contact of the roller with another member is sufficiently ensured even under a low pressing pressure. The compression residual strain is small even after the roller is pressed against another member for a long time. If the roller is used as a development roller, a sharp image with less density unevenness due to the residual strain is created.

Abstract: The technique of preparing a semiconductive rubber by adding a conductivity imparting agent to resin matrix is so general but controlling the exhibiting conductive properties to a semiconductive range is difficult and in the technique of imparting conductivity by using an electronic conductive agent such as carbon black, uniform dispersion within the system is difficult and this often causes the problems of the sample fluctuation of the electric properties and voltage dependency of the obtained semiconductive rubber. The semiconductive resin composition of the present invention comprises (A) an oxyalkylene polymer having at least one hydrosilylizable alkenyl group in each molecule, (B) a compound having at least two hydrosilyl groups in each molecule, (C) a hydrosilylizing catalyst, and (D) an ionic conductivity imparting agent or (E) a nonionic surfactant.

Abstract: A curable composition which comprises as essential ingredients (A) an organic polymer having per molecule at least one alkenyl group capable of undergoing hydrosilylation, (B) a compound having at least two hydrosilyl groups per molecule, (C) a hydrosilylation catalyst, (D) carbon black, (E) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of epoxidized compounds, acid anhydride compounds, and ester compounds, and (F) an organotitanium compound and/or an organoaluminum compound. In the composition, the carbon black serving as a conductivity imparter has been surface-treated with the ingredients (E) and (F) by the integral blending method. The conductive material obtained by heat-curing the curable composition has regulated conductivity.

Abstract: By incorporating (A) a saturated hydrocarbon polymer having more than one alkenyl group capable of being hydrosilylated in each molecule and having a molecular weight of 2,000 to 50,000, (B) a component comprising a compound containing more than two silicon atom-bound hydrogen atoms, on average, in each molecule, (C) a compound having, within the molecule, one alkenyl group capable of being hydrosilylated, (D) a compound having, within the molecule, at least two alkenyl groups capable of being hydrosilylated and having a molecular weight less than 2,000, and (E) a hydrosilylation catalyst, a composition having good mechanical characteristics, a high gel fraction and a small heating loss can be obtained. As a result, the invention can provide a composition to secure the uniformity within a wide range of selection not depending on its viscosity, because it is markedly relaxed the restriction on SiH-containing compounds that are curing agents possibly becoming a cause of said insufficient curing.
