The present invention relates to an imaging member comprising an imaging layer and at least one stiffening layer comprising a blend of polyolefin polymer and amorphous hydrocarbon resin. The invention further describes a method for making the imaging member, comprising extruding a foam polymer sheet, orienting the foam polymer sheet, bringing a stiffening layer comprising a blend of polyolefin polymer and amorphous hydrocarbon resin into contact with the oriented foam polymer sheet, and applying an imaging layer above the stiffening layer. A second method of forming an imaging member comprises extruding a foam polymer sheet, bringing at least one stiffening layer comprising a blend of polyolefin polymer and amorphous hydrocarbon resin into contact with the foam polymer sheet, orienting said foam polymer sheet and said stiffening layer and applying an imaging layer above said stiffening layer. Another method describes the formation of an imaging member comprising making a cellulosic sheet, bringing at least one stiffening layer comprising a blend of polyolefin polymer and amorphous hydrocarbon resin into contact with the cellulosic sheet and applying an imaging layer above the stiffening layer.
An imaging member comprising an imaging layer and at least one stiffening layer on a support, wherein said stiffening layer comprises a blend of polyolefin polymer and amorphous hydrocarbon resin, and wherein said hydrocarbon resin comprises a resin having carbon backbone units of from 8 to 24.
A method of forming an imaging member comprising extruding a foam polymer sheet;
A method of forming an imaging member comprising extruding a foam polymer sheet;
A method of forming an imaging member comprising providing a cellulosic sheet;
An imaging member comprising an imaging layer and at least one stiffening layer on a support, wherein said stiffening layer comprises a blend of polyolefin polymer and amorphous hydrocarbon resin, wherein said hydrocarbon resin comprises a resin having carbon backbone units of from 8 to 24, and wherein said support comprises a modulus less than the modulus of said stiffening layer.
