PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly durable electrostatic latent image carrier having high abrasion resistance and good electrophotographic characteristics and capable of performing stable image formation over a long period of time, and the electrostatic latent image carrier The present invention provides an image forming apparatus, an image forming method, and a process cartridge. An electrostatic latent image carrier having a support 201 and at least a photosensitive layer 202 on the support 201, the outermost surface layer of the electrostatic latent image carrier being at least a thermosetting binder resin. A charge transport material having a crosslinkable functional group and conductive fine particles, the charge transport material having the crosslinkable functional group is cross-linked and polymerized with a thermosetting binder resin, and the conductive fine particles have the following formula: M x Sb y O z (wherein M represents a metal element, x, y, and z represent a molar ratio of each element), and is at least one kind. Latent image carrier. An image forming apparatus, an image forming method, and a process cartridge using the carrier. [Selection] Figure 1 |
