Abstract
Abstract An image recording sheet and a transparent water-based toner receptive coating therefore comprising an imaging copolymer formed from at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of bicyclic alkyl (meth) acrylates, aliphatic alkyl (meth)acrylates having from about one to about 12 carbon atoms, aromatic (meth)acrylates, and a polar monomer having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or methyl, R 1 and R2 may be hydrogen, identical or differing alkyl groups having up to about 8 carbon atoms, preferably up to about 2 carbon atoms, or the quaternary cationic salts thereof, at least one novel long chain polymeric particle having good antifriction characteristics and optionally, an antistatic agent selected from the group consisting of cationic agents, anionic agents, fluorinated agents, and nonionic agents.
