Abstract:
Presensitized planographic printing plate for use in dry planography. A positive acting plate having a flexible base and a relatively thick (0.02 to 2.00 mil) silicone rubber layer, overlying a photo-polymerizable and photoadhesive-layer. Upon exposure to light through a positive transparency, the photoadhesive layer in the exposed non-image area polymerizes and adheres firmly to the thick silicone rubber overlayer, but the photoadhesive layer in the unexposed image area remains nonadhesive to the silicone overlayer. Following the exposure, the surface of the plate is treated with developing liquid capable of swelling silicone rubber. The thick silicone rubber layer in the unexposed image area is easily removed, exposing a sharp image of oleophilic photoadhesive layer underlying the removed silicone layer, while the silicone rubber layer in the exposed background area remains bound to the photoadhesive underlayer. The exposed surface of the photoadhesive layer accepts ink from inking rollers, while the silicone rubber background area does not remove ink from the rollers, and thus remains ink-free.
Abstract:
Provided is a presensitized planographic printing plate requiring no dampening water for use in negative work which comprises a base substrate, a photosensitive layer secured to and overlying the base substrate, and containing an orthoquinonediazide compound and having a content of ethanol-soluble component not higher than 20% by weight, and a silicone rubber layer overlying the photosensitive layer through bonding component. When the printing plate is exposed through a negative film and then treated with a developer, the photosensitive layer in the exposed image areas is dissolved and the corresponding portion of the silicone rubber layer is also removed easily and is obtained image as an exact reproduction of the negative film. Dampening water is not required when printing is carried out.
Abstract:
A material for optical recording by utilizing the photochemical hole burning is disclosed. The optical recording material is a composition comprising a water-soluble deuterated polymer as a host component and a water-soluble organic pigment dispersed in the host component as a guest component. By virtue of the deuteration of the host component, the tunnel effect of the hydrogen atoms in the host component is prevented, so that the hole width is narrowed. Thus, the wavelength multiplicity is increased.

1377535 Photopolymerizable compositions TORAY INDUSTRIES Inc 24 Aug 1972 [29 Feb 1972] 39469/72 Heading C3P [Also in Division G2] Photosensitive (photopolymerizable) compositions for use in making printing plates, photoresists, photo curable paints and imageforming materials comprise (a) at least 40% by weight of a linear polyamide, (b) at least 10% by weight of a photopolymerizable unsaturated compound having at least one moiety, where R 1 and R 11 are H or a C 1 -C 12 monovalent hydrocarbon group or R 1 , together with the N atom, forms a heterocyclic ring, and (c) as photosensitiser from 0À01 to 10% by weight of a phosphorus compound of the formula wherein R 1 is an optionally substituted phenyl group, and R 2 and R 3 are an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group, the compositions being insolubilized when exposed to actinic radiation. The polyamide (a) is suitably derived from a C 2 -C 12 dibasic acid and a C 1 -C 16 diamine, or from an #-amino acid or lactam having up to 12 carbon atoms; preferred products are those obtained by copolymerizing #-caprolactam with hexamethy - lene diammonium adipate and with one or more of hexamethylene diammonium sebacate or azelate, 4,4 1 -diaminodicyclohexyl methane adipate, trimethylhexamethylene diammonium adipate and isophorone diammonium adipate. The unsaturated compound (b) is obtained by reacting glycidyl acrylate or methacrylate with a compound containing one or more primary and/ or secondary amino groups, e.g. butylamine, propylamine, benzylamine, octylamine, xylylene diamine, hexamethylene diamine, trimethylhexamethylene diamine, methyl ethyl amine, diethylamine, diphenylamine, piperidine, diethylene triamine, heptaethylene octamine or 2- (2-aminoethyl)-piperidine. The compositions may also contain a photosensitizer (additional to the stated phosphorus compound), e.g. benzoin and derivatives, anthraquinone and derivatives, xanthone, or various uranium, sulphur or halogen compounds; a thermal polymerization inhibitor, e.g. hydroquinone and derivatives, phenol and derivatives, or phenothiazine; a halo-hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate (inclusion of which improves the properties of photopolymer printing plates formed from the compositions); and acrylamide.
