Recording medium
A recording medium including a substrate and an ink-receiving layer provided on the substrate. The ink-receiving layer contains a silica particle and a water-insoluble resin. The silica particle satisfies the following expressions 1 and 2 when the average pore radius thereof determined by the BJH method is taken as r (nm), and the oil absorption thereof measured by the linseed oil droplet method is taken as V (ml/100 g): r ≤5.0 (nm) expression 1: V/r ≥80 ((ml/100 g)/nm). expression 2:
1. A recording medium comprising:
a substrate; and
an ink-receiving layer provided on the substrate,
wherein the ink-receiving layer comprises a silica particle and a water-insoluble resin, and
wherein the silica particle satisfies the following expressions 1 and 2 when an average pore radius thereof determined by the BJH method is taken as r (nm), and an oil absorption thereof measured by the linseed oil droplet method is taken as V (ml/100 g):
r≤ 5.0 (nm); and expression 1:
V/r≥ 80 ((ml/100 g)/nm). expression 2:
2. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the water-insoluble resin (i) comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate-modified urethane resin, and a polyether-modified urethane resin, and (ii) is contained in an amount of 30% to 80% by mass with respect to the content of the silica particle.
3. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein a glass transition temperature of the water-insoluble resin is 20° C. or less.
4. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein an average particle size of the silica particle is 3 μm or more to 10 μm or less.
5. The recording medium according to claim 1 , for use in ink jet.
6. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the expression 1 is 2.2 (nm)≤r≤5.0 (nm).
7. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the expression 2 is 118 ((ml/100 g)/nm)≥V/r≥80 ((ml/100 g)/nm).
8. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein a content of a water-soluble resin is 0% by mass or more to 10% by mass or less with respect to a content of the water-insoluble resin in the ink-receiving layer.
9. The recording medium according to claim 8 , wherein the water-soluble resin comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyvinyl alcohol, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and a water-soluble cellulose.
10. The recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein a glass transition temperature of the water-insoluble resin is −50° C. or more to 20° C. or less.
