Abstract: Image-forming materials including photographic, thermographic, and thermally-developable imaging materials include one or more transparent electrically conductive, non-charging layers to provide antistatic control on one or both sides of subbed or unsubbed supports. The electrically conductive, non-charging layers comprise colloidal, electrically conductive polymer particles that can be dispersed in a film-forming binder in an amount to provide from about 10 to about 90 volume % of polymer particles. Particularly useful polymer particles include pyrrole-containing, thiophene-containing, and aniline-containing polymers. The particles generally exhibit a packed powder specific resistivity of 105 ohm-cm or less and generally have a mean diameter of 0.5 &mgr;m or less. The electrically conductive, non-charging layers generally exhibit a surface electrical resistivity of less than 1×1012 ohm per square.

Abstract: The present invention is a multilayer imaging element which includes a support, one or more image-forming layers super posed on the support; and an outermost transparent electrically-conductive, non-charging, overcoat layer superposed on the support. The outermost transparent electrically-conductive, non-charging overcoat layer includes colloidal, electrically-conductive metal-containing granular particles, dispersed in a film-forming binder at a volume percentage of conductive metal-containing particles of from 20 to 80 and a first charge control agent which imparts positive charging properties and a second charge control agent which imparts negative charging properties.

Abstract: A photographic donor material useful in forming continuous tone images in a silver salt diffusion transfer process is comprised of a support; a photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer in which the silver halide is at least 80% silver chloride and is substantially free of iodide; and, located between the photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer and the support, a silver halide emulsion layer which is non-photosensitive under the conditions in which the donor material is used.
