Abstract

Pressure-responsive particles include pressure-responsive base particles and inorganic oxide particles, in which the pressure-responsive base particles contain a styrene-based resin which contains styrene and other vinyl monomers as polymerization components and a (meth)acrylic acid ester-based resin which contains at least two kinds of (meth)acrylic acid esters as polymerization components and in which amass ratio of the (meth)acrylic acid esters to all polymerization components is 90% by mass or higher, a liberation rate of the inorganic oxide particles is 10% by mass or higher and 40% by mass or lower, the pressure-responsive particles have at least two glass transition temperatures, and a difference between a lowest glass transition temperature and a highest glass transition temperature is 30° C. or higher.
