Imaging element comprising an electrically-conductive layer containing metal-containing particles and clay particles and a transparent magnetic recording layer

摘要

The present invention is an imaging element which includes a support, an image-forming layer superposed on said support, a transparent magnetic recording layer superposed on said support; and an electrically-conductive layer superposed on said support. The transparent magnetic recording layer is composed of magnetic particles dispersed in a first film-forming polymeric binder. The electrically-conductive layer includes electrically-conductive metal-containing colloidal particles, swellable, smectite clay particles, a first polymeric binder which can sufficiently intercalate inside or exfoliate the smectite clay particles and a second film-forming polymeric binder, wherein the electrically-conductive metal-containing particles and the polymer-intercalated or polymer-exfoliated smectite clay particles are dispersed.
