ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an article comprising ethoxylated alcohol wax intercalated in smectite clay. Embodiments of the invention comprise a sheet or an imaging member comprising an image layer and at least one layer comprising ethoxylated alcohol wax intercalated in smectite clay. The invention comprises a method of forming intercalated clay by providing smectite clay and combining the clay with ethoxylated alcohol wax and heating the mixture to above the softening point of the wax. The method further includes combining the intercalated clay with a polymer.
