| abstract |
The present invention relates to a porous membrane obtainable by providing a mixture of at least one type of curable monomer and a solvent, applying said mixture to a support, curing said mixture, thereby causing phase separation between the crosslinked monomer and the solvent, subjecting the resulting porous membrane to a washing and/or drying step to remove said solvent and re-curing the porous membrane after drying or partial drying the membrane. The invention further relates to image recording materials, in which these porous membranes are used. |
