Patent ID: 7998901

Claim:
A heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet, comprising: on a support, at least one receptor layer which contains at least one silicone compound and at least one polymer having repeating units derived from vinyl chloride; and, at least one heat insulating layer which contains a latex of hollow polymer particles and a latex polymer of a polymer having repeating units derived from vinyl chloride, between the receptor layer and the support, wherein the particle size of the hollow polymer particles is 0.1 to 2 μm, and wherein the hollow polymer particles are non-foaming type hollow particles and formed of styrene/acryl resin; wherein the hollow polymer particles are obtained in the following steps: forming a capsule wall formed of a styrene/acryl resin containing water inside of the capsule wall, applying a coating solution and drying the resultant, and vaporizing the water in the particles out of the particles so as to make the inside of each particle hollow.
