Abstract
A heating member includes: a resistive heating layer which generates heat when supplied with electrical energy; a release layer as an outermost layer of the heating member and including a polymer; an intermediate layer disposed between the resistive heating layer and the release layer. The resistive heating layer includes a base polymer, and an electroconductive filler dispersed in the base polymer. The intermediate layer includes a polymer material being a same type as the base polymer of the resistive heating layer or the polymer of the release layer.
