Zusammenfassung: | Provided is a member for electrophotography (1) that can achieve both an improvement in toner-conveying force under high temperature and high humidity, and excellent charge-providing performance for a toner, at high levels. The member for electrophotography includes a substrate (2), an electro-conductive elastic layer (3) on the substrate, and a plurality of electrically insulating domains (4) formed in a partial region on the electro-conductive elastic layer. The electro-conductive elastic layer (3) has a Martens hardness of 0.10 N/mm 2 or more and 3.00 N/mm 2 or less. In the surface of the member for electrophotography (1), the exposure ratio of the electro-conductive elastic layer per the area of a square 300 µm on a side is 50% to 90%, and the average of the areas of the portions of the respective plurality of electrically insulating domains (4) to be brought into contact with the electro-conductive elastic layer is 300 µm 2 or more and 10,000 µm 2 or less. |
