Abstract
The present invention is an imaging element which includes a support, at least one imaging layer superposed on the support and an antistatic layer superposed on the support. The antistatic layer is composed of a wax particle having a wax phase and a polymer phase, the polymer phase formed from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer free of ionic charge groups capable of forming a water soluble homopolymer and a second ethylenically unsaturated monomer capable of forming a water insoluble homopolymer, and an antistatic agent having an ionic group.
