This invention relates to a composition comprising microcapsules suspended in
an aqueous media, said microcapsules comprising a water immiscible material contained
within an encapsulating wall of polymeric material, wherein the aqueous media contains
a stabilizer comprising an anionic polymer mixture comprising a first sulfonated
polystyrene polymer and a second sulfonated polystyrene polymer wherein the ratio
of the weight average polymer molecular weight of the first polymer to the second
polymer is greater than 2. It further relates to an imaging element comprising
said microcapsules.
