Gels of polysaccharide, fluorinated surfactant and particles

Abstract

The present invention relates to an image receiver element comprising a support having on at least one surface thereof a porous absorbent coating layer comprising an inorganic colloidal particulate material, having a negatively charged surface, in a binder matrix, wherein the binder matrix comprises a hydrophilic gelator, a fluorinated compound, and at least one polymer comprising hydroxyl groups. The present invention also relates to a receiver for inkjet printing comprising a support having on at least one surface thereof a porous absorbent coating comprising a colloidal particulate material, having a negatively charged surface, in a binder matrix, wherein the binder matrix comprises a hydrophilic gelator, guar gum, a fluorinated compound, and polyvinyl alcohol. Carrageenan is the most preferred thermoreversible hydrophilic gelator.
