Abstract:
Lithographic printing plates and processes for preparing the lithographic printing plates are provided. The plates have excellent printing durability, staining resistance and staining resistance over time. The lithographic printing plate precursor includes: a substrate; a photosensitive layer provided on the substrate; and an extra layer optionally provided between the substrate and the photosensitive layer. The photosensitive layer or the extra layer adjacent to the substrate contains (A) a copolymer. The copolymer (A) includes: (a1) a repeating unit of formula (a1-1) below in a side chain, and (a2) a repeating unit having at least one of the structures represented by formulae (a2-1) to (a2-6) shown in the specification in a side chain. L1, Z1, R1, and R21, R22 and R23 in formula (a1-1) and the variables in formulae (a2-1) to (a2-6) are as defined in the specification.

Abstract:
An aspect of the present invention relates to hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder, which has an activation volume ranging from 900 nm3 to 1,600 nm3, and a ratio of a coefficient of plate thickness variation to a coefficient of particle diameter variation, coefficient of plate thickness variation/coefficient of particle diameter coefficient, ranging from 0.20 to 0.60.
Abstract:
An aspect of the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing hexagonal strontium ferrite magnetic powder, which comprises melting a starting material mixture which has a composition, as a composition converted into an oxide, lying within a region enclosed by the following four points: (a) SrO=48.0 mol %, Fe2O3=17.2 mol %, B2O3=34.8 mol %; (b) SrO=55.9 mol %, Fe2O3=17.7 mol %, B2O3=26.4 mol %; (c) SrO=41.7 mol %, Fe2O3=40.9 mol %, B2O3=17.4 mol %; (d) SrO=36.7 mol %, Fe2O3=40.1 mol %, B2O3=23.2 mol %; in a ternary diagram with SrO, Fe2O3, which may include an Fe substitution element, and B2O3 as apexes, to provide a melt, and quenching the melt to obtain a solidified product; and heat treating the solidified product to precipitate hexagonal strontium ferrite magnetic particles within the solidified product.
