(57) Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a reproducible image recording sheet having good fixing property to an image forming material and good releasability. SOLUTION: A liquid composition containing a silicone compound and fine particles, wherein the silicone compound is capable of binding to the base material and the fine particles by a chemical reaction, is applied onto a base material mainly composed of pulp fibers. Alternatively, it is an image recording paper having a recording surface made of a film obtained by impregnation and drying. The silicone compound is preferably a fluorine-containing silicone compound, an isocyanate silane compound, an alkoxysilane compound, a silane coupling agent, or a silane compound having a SiH group. Further, it is particularly desirable to use a modified silicone oil having a reactive group in the molecule together with these silane compounds. The fine particles are preferably inorganic fine particles and resin fine particles, and particularly preferably silicone resin. |
