Abstract

A process including providing at least a flexible substrate layer having a first major surface on one side and a second major surface on a second side opposite the first major surface, the first major surface being an exposed surface, applying a coating of an anticurl backing layer dispersion on the first major surface of the substrate layer, the dispersion comprising a volatile carrier liquid, a film forming polymer dissolved in the volatile carrier liquid, solid organic particles dispersed in the volatile carrier liquid, and an organic additive dissolved in the volatile carrier liquid, the organic additive represented by the structural formula: whereinm is a number from 1 to 99,n is a number from 1 to 99,p is an integer between 1 and 10,f is an integer between 1 and 8, andI is an integer between 10 and 500, anddrying the coating to remove the volatile carrier and form a dried anticurl backing layer. An electrostatographic imaging member containing this anticurl backing layer is also described.
