The present invention relates to an imaging element comprising at least one imaging layer and a support wherein the support comprises at least one layer comprising a splayant and a layered material, wherein the layered material has an aspect ratio from 20:1 and 500:1 and wherein the layered material comprises less than 10% by weight of the layer. The present invention also relates to a method of making a dimensionally stable imaging element comprising providing a support wherein said support comprises at least one layer comprising a splayant and a layered material, wherein said layered material comprises an aspect ratio of from 20:1 to 500:1 and wherein said layered material comprises less than 10% by weight of said at least one layer; and applying at least one imaging layer.
An imaging element comprising at least one imaging layer and a support wherein said support comprises at least one layer comprising a splayant and a layered material splayed by said splayant, wherein said layered material has an aspect ratio from 100:1 to 400:1, wherein said layered material has a length greater than 0 and less than or equal to 700 nm (0.7 μm), and wherein said layered material comprises less than 10% by weight of said at least one layer.
A method of making a dimensionally stable imaging element comprising providing a support wherein said support comprises at least one layer comprising a splayant and a layered material, wherein said layered material comprises an aspect ratio of from 100:1 to 400:1, wherein said layered material has a length greater than 0 and less than or equal to 700 nm (0.7 μm), and wherein said layered material comprises less than 10% by weight of said at least one layer;
An imaging element comprising at least one imaging layer and a support wherein said support comprises at least one layer comprising a splayant and a natural layered clay material splayed by said splayant, wherein said natural layered clay material has an aspect ratio from 100:1 to 400:1, wherein said natural layered clay material has a length greater than 0 and less than or equal to 700 nm (0.7 μm), and wherein said natural layered clay material comprises less than 10% by weight of said at least one layer.
