Abstract
Thermally processable imaging elements in which the image is formed by imagewise heating or by imagewise exposure to light followed by uniform heating include an adhesive interlayer interposed between the imaging layer and a protective overcoat layer. The adhesive interlayer, which is comprised of a polymer having epoxy functionality, strongly bonds the overcoat layer to the imaging layer.
