Abstract
Abstract There is provided a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprising: a substrate sheet; and a receptive layer provided on at least one side of the substrate sheet, the receptive layer being formed of a receptive layer-constituting resin containing an ethylene terpolymer selected from an ethylene/vinyl acetate/polar group-containing monomer terpolymer and an ethylene/acrylic ester/polar group-containing monomer terpolymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprising: a substrate sheet; and a receptive layer provided on at least one side of the substrate sheet, the receptive layer being formed of a receptive layer-constituting resin and an ethylene terpolymer selected from an ethylene/vinyl acetate/polar group-containing monomer terpolymer and an ethylene/acrylic ester/polar group-containing monomer terpolymer, said receptive layer-constituting resin comprising at least one member selected from vinyl chloride resin and vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
A thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprising: a substrate sheet; and a receptive layer provided on at least one side of the substrate sheet, the receptive layer being formed of a receptive layer-constituting resin and an ethylene terpolymer selected from an ethylene/vinyl acetate/polar group-containing monomer terpolymer and an ethylene/acrylic ester/polar group-containing monomer terpolymer, said receptive layer-constituting resin comprising at least one member selected from vinyl chloride resin and vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The thermal transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the polar group-containing monomer is acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The thermal transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the ethylene terpolymer comprises 50 to 80% by weight of ethylene and 1 to 10% by weight of the polar group-containing monomer.
