Abstract:
Thermographic and photothermographic materials comprise a barrier layer to provide physical protection and to prevent migration of diffusible imaging components and by-products resulting from high temperature imaging and/or development. The barrier layer comprises a scavenger that is a metal hydroxide or ester. This barrier layer is capable of retarding diffusion of mobile chemicals such as organic carboxylic acids, developers, and toners.
Abstract:
A non-photosensitive silver dimer compound comprises two different silver salts, provided that when the two different silver salts comprise straight-chain, saturated hydrocarbon groups as the silver coordinating ligands, those ligands differ by at least 6 carbon atoms. Many of these silver dimer compounds can be represented by the following Structure I: wherein each E is independently oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, selenium, or tellurium, R and R′ are different alkyl groups, aryl groups, aromatic heterocyclic groups, or halo atoms, provided that when E is oxygen, R and R′ are both straight-chain, saturated hydrocarbon groups, those hydrocarbon groups differ from each other by at least 6 carbon atoms. These silver dimer compounds are useful in thermally-developable imaging materials including thermographic and photothermographic materials.
Abstract:
The post-processing stability of silver halide photothermographic emulsions is enhanced by the presence of stabilizing amounts of certain structurally defined amido compounds.
Abstract:
Novel thermally sensitive imageable layers comprising a leuco dye oxidizing acid salt are disclosed, wherein said acid consists of a Group V, VI, or VII element and oxygen.
Abstract:
Disclosed are photothermographic constructions containing at least a plurality of light-sensitive layers which are separated by barrier layers composed of a polymer, e.g., ethyl cellulose and polyethylene terephthalate, having an energy activation of permeability (E.sub.p) of less than about 30 kJ/mole. The barrier layers must be substantially insoluble in the light sensitive layers and vice versa. Each light sensitive layer contains a nitrate salt, leuco dye, binder, and optionally, a photoinitiator. The photothermographic construction is capable of effectively reproducing full color images.
