(57) [Abstract] (with correction) [Problem] The surface of a photosensitive layer has high hardness, excellent abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and adhesion, and particularly when subjected to image formation repeatedly, particularly under high temperature and high humidity. Electrophotographic photoreceptor that does not cause fatigue deterioration of electrophotographic performance even when images are repeatedly formed by using the method described above, and stably obtains a good image without causing fog, image blur, etc., and a process cartridge using the same. And an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: In an electrophotographic photosensitive member having a photosensitive layer on a conductive support via an intermediate layer, a surface layer of the electrophotographic photosensitive member has a siloxane containing a structural unit represented by the following general formula (1). An electrophotographic photoreceptor, which is a layer containing a system cured resin, wherein the intermediate layer is a layer containing an organometallic compound and / or a silane coupling agent. (In the formula, X is a charge-transporting ability-imparting group, which is a group that bonds to Z in the formula via a carbon atom constituting the imparting group, and Z is a divalent group other than adjacent bonding atoms (Si and C). These are the atoms or groups. |
