An embodiment of the present invention provides a thermosensitive recording material and a method for manufacturing the same. The thermosensitive recording material includes, on a support, a thermosensitive recording layer containing a polyvinyl alcohol and a color development component; and a protective layer containing a resin component, in this order from the support side. At least one of the thermosensitive recording layer or the protective layer further contains a styrene-isoprene resin.

Thermosensitive recording material and method for manufacturing the same

A multilayer film () is provided with a hard coat layer () and a film base () formed from a polymer compound. A heat shrinkage factor of the film base () (170&#xb0; C., 10 minutes) is in a range from 0.05% to 3.0%. The hard coat layer () is formed by applying a coating liquid () containing a compound represented by a general formula (1), tetraalkoxysilane, acid water with pH in a range from 2 to 6, and a water-soluble hardening agent. An amount of the acid water is in a range from 60 to 2000 pts. wt. relative to a total amount 100 pts. wt. of the compound represented by the general formula (1) and tetraalkoxysilane. In the general formula (1), 'R' is an organic group having 1 to 15 carbons and containing no amino group. 'R' is a methyl group or ethyl group, &#x201c;R&#x201d; is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbons, and &#x201c;n&#x201d; is zero or 1. (1) RRSi(OR).
