Abstract:
A photothermographic composite structure for use in a solvent-free dye thermal positive imaging diffusion-transfer process comprising:(a) an image-receiving element comprising a polymeric dyeable image-receiving layer having a glass transition temperature in the range of 20.degree. to 200.degree. C., and(b) strippably adhered to said image-receiving element, an imageable photothermographic element comprising in at least one layer thereof a binder, a silver source material, photosensitive silver halide in catalytic proximity to said silver source material, and a formazan dye.
Abstract:
Photothermographic dry silver emulsions containing a benzylidene lenco dye and a development accelerator provide a high density yellow image upon exposure to actinic radiation and thermal developing at a relatively low temperature and for a short period of time.
Abstract:
Alkyl ketazine dyes are stabilized by the presence of poly(vinyl chloride) and/or poly(vinylidene chloride) binders in photothermographic emulsions.
Abstract:
The use of phenazine, phenoxazine and phenothiazine color forming developers in photothermographic dry silver emulsions provides a stable imaging system under both light and dark storage.
Abstract:
Certain effective leuco dyes for silver halide/silver salt/reducing agent photothermographic color imaging materials tend to bleach in the final image. The presently disclosed system of a syringaldazine and a stabilizing binder resin is more stable.
Abstract:
Certain effective toning systems for silver halide/silver salt/reducing agent photothermographic imaging materials tend to bleach the final image. The presently disclosed toning system of phthalazine and an active-hydrogen containing heterocyclic compound is more stable than some previous toners.
Abstract:
Certain fluoran dyes have been found to be effective reducing agents for silver ion in dry silver constructions. The fluoran dyes have the following structure: ##STR1## wherein: R.sup.1 represents methyl or n-butyl;R.sup.2 represents n-butyl or cyclohexyl;R.sup.3 represents hydrogen, methyl, or methoxy; andR.sup.4 represents ##STR2## where X represents halogen (preferably chlorine); and a binder.
Abstract:
Indicator material for monitoring personal exposure to hazardous substances in ambient air comprising a pigment material, a binder and a sensitizer coated upon a transparent support member as a porous coating which permits gaseous diffusion throughout the coating is disclosed. Detection or monitoring is effected when the indicator material undergoes a visually observable reaction with hazardous material in the atmosphere at room temperature.

Abstract:
A process is described for providing a conductive metal circuit using a coherent radiation source. The circuit pattern is directly written onto a laser addressable element having a supercooling material layer. A conductive metal toner is then applied to the light struck areas and fired in a furnace to provide a conductive metal circuit.
