Thermal transfer image-receiving sheet

摘要

There is provided a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprising: a substrate sheet; and a dye-receptive layer provided on at least one side of the substrate sheet, said dye-receptive layer containing, at least in its outermost surface portion, at least one polyether-modified silicone selected from the group consisting of polyether-modified silicones represented by formulae (B1), (B2), and (B3), said polyether-modified silicones having a siloxane content of 25 to 65% by weight:
wherein polyether-modified silicones represented by formula (B1) are of grafting type, R represents H, an aryl group, or a straight-chain or branched alkyl group optionally substituted by a cycloalkyl group, m and n are each an integer of not more than 2000, and a and b are each an integer of 1 to 30;
wherein polyether-modified silicones represented by formula (B2) are of end modification type, R represents H, an aryl group, or a straight-chain or branched alkyl group optionally substituted by a cycloalkyl group, m is an integer of not more than 2000, and a and b are each an integer of 1 to 30; and
wherein polyether-modified silicones represented by formula (B3) are of main chain copolymerization type, R represents H, an aryl group, or a straight-chain or branched alkyl group optionally substituted by a cycloalkyl group, R 1 represents an aryl group or a straight-chain or branched alkyl group optionally substituted by a cycloalkyl group, m and n are each an integer of not more than 2000, and a and b are each an integer of 1 to 30; and an image formed object produced by forming an image on an image-receiving face of the above thermal transfer image-receiving sheet according to the present application and then transferring a protective layer onto the image formed face.
