Recording paper and method for manufacturing same

A recording paper comprising:

• a substrate composed of a thermoplastic resin film;
• and
• a resin coating disposed on at least one side of the substrate,
• wherein
• the resin coating consists of
• (a) a resin that is a reaction product of a cationic water-soluble polymer and a silane coupling agent, or
• (b) a resin that is a reaction product of a cationic water-soluble polymer and a silane coupling agent, and at least one aid component selected from the group consisting of antistatic agent, crosslinking accelerators, pH adjusters, and defoamers, and
• wherein
• a content of the silane coupling agent component is 15 to 35 mass % based on a cationic water-soluble polymer component in the resin coating,
• the cationic water-soluble polymer comprises a (meth)acrylic polymer or an ethyleneimine polymer,
• the cationic water-soluble polymer comprises as the (meth)acrylic polymer or the ethyleneimine polymer:
• (i) a first polymer having
• a primary or secondary amino group or
• a primary or secondary ammonium salt structure, and
• (ii) a second polymer having
• a tertiary amino group or
• a tertiary ammonium salt structure,
• said second polymer having neither primary nor secondary amino group nor primary nor secondary ammonium salt structure,
• wherein the content of polymeric material having a tertiary amino group or a tertiary ammonium salt structure in the resin film is 100 parts by mass or less based on 113 parts by mass of the cationic water-soluble polymer, and
• wherein the (meth)acrylic polymer or the ethyleneimine polymer has a weight-average molecular weight of greater than 20,000 and not greater than 1,000,000 and does not have a quaternary ammonium salt structure, and
• the resin coating is free from thermoplastic resin particles.
