Imaging elements, such as photographic, electrostatographic and thermal imaging elements, are comprised of a support, an image-forming layer, and an electrically-conductive layer comprising a dispersion in a film-forming binder of fine particles of an electronically-conductive metal antimonate. Use of metal antimonate particles provides a controlled degree of electrical conductivity and beneficial chemical, physical and optical properties which adapt the electrically-conductive layer for such purposes as providing protection against static or serving as an electrode which takes part in an image-forming process. The aforesaid imaging elements optionally also include a transparent magnetic layer. |
