Abstract:
An imaging element comprising:a support;an image-forming layer superposed on the support; andan outermost scratch resistant antistatic layer superposed on the support having a thickness between 0.6 and 10 microns, the scratch resistant layer comprising a polymer having a modulus greater than 100 MPa measured at 20.degree. C. and a tensile elongation to break greater than 50%, a filler particle having a modulus greater than 10 GPa, and an electrically conducting polymer comprising 3,4-dialkoxy substituted polythiophene styrene sulfonate; wherein the volume ratio of the polymer to the filler particle is between 70:30 and 40:60 and the electrically conducting polymer is present at a weight concentration based on a total dried weight of the scratch resistant layer of between 1 and 10 weight percent.
