A carrier for electrophotographic developer comprises a resin carrier core
comprising a binder resin and magnetic powder dispersed in the binder
resin, and a coating layer comprising a coating resin on a surface of the
core, the binder resin being a silicone resin obtained by curing of a
polysiloxane compound (A) having an epoxy group and a polysiloxane
compound (B) having a group capable of reacting with the epoxy group, due
to a ring-opening addition reaction; the binder resin containing a
functional group which is an epoxy group and/or a group capable of
reacting with an epoxy group; the coating resin containing a functional
group capable of reacting with the functional group of the binder resin;
the functional group of the coating resin and the function group of the
binder resin forming a chemical bond.
