Provided is an image forming apparatus that stably exhibits sufficient cleaning performance even for an image carrier made of a crosslinked resin, and that improves the durability of a cleaning member and the image carrier. Further, the present invention provides a process cartridge capable of stably obtaining a good quality image over a long period of time. A surface layer is made of a resin obtained by polymerizing or crosslinking a compound having a chain polymerizable functional group by at least one of heat, light, and radiation, and comes into contact with an image carrier 1 of a cleaning member 21. The portion where the ridgeline is formed is the image forming apparatus and the process cartridge 8 having an obtuse angle shape of 95 to 130 °. [Selection] Figure 5 |
