Abstract:
Polymerization of epoxides and mixtures of epoxides with lactones and vinyl compounds, polymerizable through the action of cationic catalysts, is controlled by providing, in association with a radiation-sensitive catalyst precursor, a gelation inhibitor in the form of a cyclic amide in which the amide nitrogen atom contains unsubstituted hydrogen.
Abstract:
Copolymers of glycidyl acrylate and allyl glycidyl ether and terpolymers derived from addition of glycidyl methacrylate to the polymerizable mixture, having an inherent viscosity within the range of about 0.09 to 0.28 and an epoxy equivalent of at least about 0.64 per 100 g. of polymer are provided which upon admixture with a catalyst which is a radiation-sensitive aryldiazonium salt of a complex halogenide, provides compositions suitable for use in a dry photopolymer positive imaging process. In the process, the polymer which is non-tacky at room temperature, together with the catalyst is applied to a substrate and exposed to an energy source for example, electromagnetic radiation through a transparency or mask. Following exposure, the coating is heated to the softening point of the unexposed portion of the coating and a powder or toner is applied thereto, the toner being adhered to only the tacky, non-exposed area of the coating, resulting in a pigmented image.

Abstract:
The use of photosensitive nitrones in an imageformation system, if desired with auxiliary compounds for intensifying the photolytically formed image or for improving the fixing of the image, wherein the image is fixed by the use of heat.
Abstract:
Polymerization of polymerizable compositions comprising mixtures of lactones with monomeric or prepolymeric epoxides is effected by mixing such compositions with radiation-sensitive aromatic diazonium salts which decompose upon application of energy such as electromagnetic radiation to release Lewis Acid to initiate polymerization of said monomers.
