The present invention is characterized in that, for the purpose of
achieving a heating member (fixing member) in which thermal conductivity
or electrical conductivity is given to a resin surface layer without loss
of releasability, and heating efficiently is improved, the heating member
contacting a to-be-heated member and heating the same has a surface layer
15 in which, in a resin material 43 having releasability, a material (for
example, metal) 44 having either one or both thermal conductivity and
electrical conductivity is mixed, and the material contact successively.
Specifically, the heating member (fixing member) according to the present
invention has the surface layer 15 in which the metal 44 is mixed into
the fluorocarbon resin 43, and the metal 44 forms metal successively
contacting part 42 in which the metal 44 successively contacts in such a
manner as to surround the fluorocarbon resin part 41. Thereby, it is
possible to improve thermal conductivity or electrical conductivity while
maintaining releasability.
