ABSTRACT:
An image formation apparatus includes an image fixing roller for performing thermal image fixing, which image fixing roller includes an exothermic phase transition layer capable of performing reversible phase transition from an amorphous state to a crystalline state and vice versa, with liberation of crystallization heat at the phase transition from the amorphous state to the crystalline state, and the crystallization heat is used for increasing the temperature elevation rate for the image fixing roller.
