(57) [Problem] A member to be mounted on an image forming apparatus, which has good toner transportability and chargeability, gives a high quality image without image unevenness or fog, and has durability. To provide a good conductive roller as a toner carrier and the like, and an image forming apparatus equipped with the same. SOLUTION: In a conductive roller having a rotating shaft and a conductive elastic layer provided therearound, the outer peripheral surface of the conductive elastic layer has a JIS A hardness of 10 to 99 and an average particle size of 2 to 30 μm. A conductive roller provided with a resin coating layer containing particles of the above, and an image forming apparatus equipped with the conductive roller. |
