ABSTRACT:
A charging or image transfer unit for use in an image formation process including the steps of charging, image formation exposure, image development, image transfer, image fixing and cleaning, for applying an electric field to the surface of an electrophotographic photoconductor by coming into contact therewith, and also for controlling surface properties of the electrophotographic photo-conductor. The unit includes an electric field application member applying the electric field to the surface of the electrophotographic photoconductor and a lubricity-imparting member for controlling a friction coefficient of the surface of the electrophotographic photoconductor wherein the electric field application member includes an electrophotoconductive material and a lubricity-imparting member includes a fluoroplastic material.
