Abstract
A heat-sensitive recording material includes a support having disposed thereon a heat-sensitive recording layer and a protective layer. The heat-sensitive recording layer contains at least two components that react to develop color by imagewise heating. At least one layer contains a compound represented by the following general formula (I). In the general formula (I), R represents a hydrophobic group or a hydrophobic polymer, and n represents an integer.
Claims19
A heat-sensitive recording material comprising a support having disposed thereon plural layers including at least one heat-sensitive recording layer and a protective layer, the heat-sensitive recording layer containing at least two components that react with each other to form color by imagewise heating,
- wherein at least one of the plural layers contains a compound represented by the following general formula (I):
- wherein R represents one of a hydrophobic group and a hydrophobic polymer, and n represents an integer.
A method of manufacturing a heat-sensitive recording material, which includes a support and plural layers including a protective layer and at least one heat-sensitive recording layer containing at least two components that react with each other to form color by imagewise heating, the method comprising the steps of:
- preparing a coating solution containing the at least two components that react to form a color by imagewise heating and a compound represented by the following general formula (I);
- applying the solution onto a support and drying the solution to form the heat-sensitive recording layer;
- and
- forming the protective layer,
- wherein, in the general formula (I), R represents one of a hydrophobic group and a hydrophobic polymer, and n represents an integer.
