专利汇可以提供Physically developable copy medium with photoconductors and complexing agent专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且This invention relates to a copy medium capable of transmitting ultraviolet radiation comprising a photosensitive layer having a photoconductive material such as titanium dioxide and certain complexing agents incorporated in a binder. The photosensitive material, upon exposure to activating radiation in an image pattern, becomes reversibly activated in the image pattern. The reversibly activated portions are then capable of causing a chemical reaction which permits development and formation of an irreversible image by physical development such as by contact with a chemical redox system, an aqueous solution of silver nitrate and a suitable photographic reducing agent being an example thereof. The copy medium of the invention is characterized by having a photosensitive layer of reduced photoconductor coat weight without the expected decrease in sensitometric characteristics such as reduced image optical density. The reduced coat weight of photoconductor is made possible by the addition of the complexing agent to the photosensitive material. A copy medium having a photosensitive layer of reduced photoconductor coat weight is an advantage as it permits more efficient use of the copy medium for various applications such as use as a diazo master wherein the medium must transmit radiation which is absorbed by the photoconductor e.g., ultraviolet radiation. Another advantage of reduced photoconductor coat weight is reduced manufacturing costs as a result of more efficient use of photoconductor and associated spectral sensitizing dyes.,下面是Physically developable copy medium with photoconductors and complexing agent专利的具体信息内容。
