A thermal transfer recording medium including a substrate, and a thermal transfer recording layer formed on the substrate and mainly containing a coloring pigment, an amorphous organic high polymer and colorless or light-colored fine particles, the thickness of the thermal transfer recording layer being in the range of 0.2&middot;m to 1.0&middot;m, wherein the mixing ratios of the coloring pigment, the amorphous organic high polymer and the fine particles are confined to 20-60 parts by weight, 40-70 parts by weight and 1-30 parts by weight, respectively. An image-forming method using the thermal transfer recording medium, and an image-bearing body formed from the thermal transfer recording medium are also disclosed.

Thermal transfer recording medium, image-forming method and image-bearing body

A thermal transfer recording medium comprising a substrate, and multi-color thermal transfer recording layers, each of the multi-color thermal transfer recording layers being repeatedly formed for each color along the longitudinal direction of the substrate, wherein each of the multi-color thermal transfer recording layers contains a coloring pigment, an amorphous organic polymer and fine particles. One of the multi-color thermal transfer recording layers is formed to have a larger thickness than the other of the multi-color thermal transfer recording layers. Each of the multi-color thermal transfer recording layers which are successively transferred, excluding the color thermal transfer recording layer to be transferred latest, is formed to have an average thickness of 0.6 &mgr;m or less.

Biphenyl derivatives and drug composition

A method of preserving an article which includes enclosing the article and an oxygen absorbent parcel in a container having gas-barrier properties and sealing the container. The parcel is formed by packing an oxygen absorbent composition with a gas permeable packing material, the oxygen absorbent composition containing an linear hydrocarbon polymer having one or more unsaturated groups or a mixture of the polymer with an unsaturated fatty acid compound, an oxidation promoter, a basic substance and an adsorption substance.

Method of preserving article with an oxygen absorbent composition

An oxygen absorbent composition containing a linear hydrocarbon polymer having one or more unsaturated groups or a mixture of a linear hydrocarbon polymer having one or more unsaturated groups with an unsaturated fatty acid compound and an oxidation promoter as essential components and optionally containing a basic substance and/or an adsorption substance; an oxygen absorbent parcel formed by packing the oxygen absorbent composition with a gas-permeable packing material; and a method of preserving an article by means of same.
