Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is a recording medium comprising a base material and an ink-receiving layer provided on the base material, wherein the ink-receiving layer comprises a high-water-absorptive material obtained by grafting, on a water-absorptive polymer, an inorganic oxide formed from an inorganic alkoxide represented by the formula (R₂) n -M-(OR₁) m-n wherein M denotes an element selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Ti, Zr, Ca, Fe, V, Sn, Be, B and P, m is a valence of M, n is an integer of 1 or 2, R₁ denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may have a substituent group, and R₂ denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl group, each of which may have a substituent group.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A recording medium comprising a base material and an ink-receiving layer provided on the base material, wherein the ink-receiving layer comprises a high-water-absorptive material obtained by grafting, on a water-absorptive polymer, an inorganic oxide formed from an inorganic alkoxide represented by the formula (R₂) n -M-(OR₁) m-n wherein M denotes an element selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Ti, Zr, Ca, Fe, V, Sn, Be, B and P, m is a valence of M, n is an integer of 1 or 2, R₁ denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may have a substituent group, and R₂ denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl group, each of which may have a substituent group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A recording medium comprising a base material and an ink-receiving layer provided on the base material, wherein the ink-receiving layer comprises a high-water-absorptive material obtained by grafting, on a water-absorptive polymer, at least two inorganic oxides formed from inorganic alkoxides represented by the formula (R₂) n -M-(OR₁) m-n wherein M denotes an element selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Ti, Zr, Ca, Fe, V, Sn, Li, Be, B and P, m is a valence of M, n is an integer of 0, 1 or 2, R₁ denotes an alkyl group which may have a substituent group, and R₂ denotes an alkyl group or a phenyl group, each of which may have a substituent group.
