Thermally developable materials including photothermographic and
thermographic materials have a buried conductive backside layer
comprising one or more binder polymers in which are dispersed each of at
least two types of conductive materials: (1) nanoparticles of one or more
conductive metal compounds, and (2) one or more organic solvent soluble
inorganic alkali metal salt antistatic compounds. These buried conductive
backside coatings provide conductivity that is affected minimally by
humidity.
