Abstract: An element having a support, and at least an antireflective layer; wherein the antireflective layer is prepared from a composition having a polymer selected from the group consisting of (a) a fluorine-containing copolymer comprising a repeat unit derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound characterized in that at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound is polycyclic; (b) a branched polymer containing protected acid groups, said polymer comprising one or more branch segment(s) chemically linked along a linear backbone segment; (c) fluoropolymers having at least one fluoroalcohol group having the structure:—C(Rf)(Rf′)OH wherein Rf and Rf′ are the same or different fluoroalkyl groups of from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms or taken together are (CF2)n wherein n is 2 to 10; (d) amorphous vinyl homopolymers of perfluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxole or CX2═CY2, where X is —F, or —CF3 and Y is H, or amorphous vinyl copolymers of perfluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxole and
