Abstract: A recording sheet which comprises a substrate having a large of a metal on the surface thereof, and a layer of microcapsules, said layer of microcapsules including a coupling agent to improve the adhesion of said microcapsule layer to said metal layer; the coupling agent is preferably a silane.

Abstract: A recording sheet which comprises a substrate having a layer of a metal on the surface thereof and a layer of microcapsules, said microcapsules being bonded to one another by means of a crosslinking agent which has reactively interacted with reactive moieties on the surface of said microcapsules, to improve the adhesion of said microcapsule layer to said metal layer.

Abstract: A photographic material exhibiting improved photographic characteristics comprising a photographic material comprising a support having a layer of microcapsules thereon, and an image-forming agent being associated with said microcapsules, said microcapsules including a mixture of a first subset of microcapsules and a second subset of microcapsules, said first and second subsets of microcapsules being associated with an image-forming agent for the same color, and said first subset of microcapsules providing a higher film speed than said second subset of microcapsules when said first and second subsets of microcapsules are exposed to a broad band white light source and developed under identical conditions.
