摘要:
Various imaging members including lithographic imaging members can be prepared by applying to a support, an aqueous formulation comprising one or more imaging components to form an imaging layer. Over the imaging layer is directly applied a non-aqueous inverse emulsion comprising highly hydrophilic, water-swellable microgel particles dispersed in a water-immiscible organic solvent to form a protective layer. This protective layer provides physical durability but it is still readily removed during or after imaging with water or fountain solutions.

A thermal imaging member can be imaged using infrared radiation such as from an IR-emitting laser and used for lithographic printing. The imaging member includes a support having an ink-repellant thermally sensitive imaging layer and an ink-repellant surface layer that is swellable in waterless ink solvents. Imaging ablates the imaging and surface layers, but minimal debris is generated so wiping or washing is not required. The imaging layer including a thermally sensitive copolymer of silicone “soft” segments and thermally sensitive “hard” segments, as well as a photothermal conversion material that is IR radiation sensitive.
摘要:
A thermally imagable element suitable for use as a lithographic printing plate is disclosed. Imagable element contains an ink repellent, thermally sensitive surface layer on a substrate. The surface layer contains an ink repellent, thermally sensitive co-polymer which is both thermally sensitive and has the physical properties needed for handling and printing. The thermally sensitive co-polymer contains two types of segments: (a) soft silicone segments, which repel ink, and (b) hard segments, which provide physical integrity and impart thermal sensitivity to the co-polymer. The element can be imaged by imagewise expose either by infrared radiation or by heat. The process requires no wet development step and no wiping. Thermally labile crosslinked polymers are also disclosed.

摘要:
A method for preparing a sample by utilizing a shearing force in the presence of a size stabilizer to break apart the sample to obtain nucleic acid molecules in a usable size range. Once nucleic acid molecules are obtained, magnetic entanglement particles are used to concentrate and clean the nucleic acid molecules for further testing.

Flexographic printing plates and other relief images can be formed from a laser-ablatable element having a laser-ablatable layer that is from about 300 to about 4,000 μm thickness. The laser-ablatable layer includes a film-forming material that is a laser-laser-ablatable material or the film-forming material has dispersed therein a laser-ablatable material.

摘要:
A lithographic imaging member, such as a printing plate, has a support having thereon an ink-accepting melanophilic layer and an ink-rejecting siloxane surface melanophobic layer. Within the printing plate is a photothermal conversion material capable of converting irradiation, such as IR radiation, to heat in exposed regions. Also within one of the layers is a compound that upon imaging releases a moiety that facilitates degradation of the surface melanophobic layer. The released moiety can be fluoride ion or a fluoride ion-containing compound. In some imaging members, a barrier layer may be interposed between the two other layers. Such imaging members can be digitally imaged and used for printing without post-imaging processing.
