Abstract:
A negative type image recording material comprising a compound (A) which is cross-linked with the aid of an acid, a binder polymer (B), a compound (C) which generates an acid upon heating, and an infrared ray absorbing agent (D), wherein the compound (A) which is cross-linked with the aid of an acid is a mixture of a lower molecular weight phenol derivative having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less represented by the following general formula (I) with a polynuclear phenol cross-linking agent having in a molecule 3 or more phenol rings having 2 or 3 hydroxymethyl groups on a ring represented by the following general formula (II) and/or resol resin: ##STR55##wherein, Ar.sup.1 represents an aromatic hydrocarbon ring which may have a substituent; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different, and represent a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 12 or less carbon atoms; R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 12 or less carbon atoms; m represents an integer of 2 to 4; n represents an integer of 1 to 3; X represents a divalent connecting group, Y represents a monovalent, divalent, trivalent or tetravalent connecting group having a partial structure selected from the group described below or a functional group having a terminal hydrogen atom, and Z represents a monovalent, divalent, trivalent or tetravalent connecting group or functional group existing in accordance with the number of the connecting group Y and Z does not exist when Y is a terminal group wherein the group of the partial structures is as follows: ##STR56## ##STR57##wherein, A represents an r-valent hydrocarbon connecting group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; r represents an integer of 3 to 20; and p represents an integer of 2 to 3.
