A fixing member heat bonds a toner on a recording material. The fixing member
includes
a releasing layer, a layer of elastic material, below the releasing layer, and
a layer of adiabatic and hygroscopic material, below the layer of elastic material.
The layer of elastic material includes a layer of electrically conducting material
to pass electric currents, an adiabatic, elastic, and hydrophobic material, and
a porous material to the release of the moisture absorbed by the layer of adiabatic
and hygroscopic material.
