Various patterning methods utilize certain crosslinkable reactive polymers comprise -A- and -B- recurring units, arranged randomly along a backbone. The -A- recurring units comprise pendant aromatic sulfonic acid oxime ester groups that are capable of providing pendant aromatic sulfonic acid groups upon irradiation with radiation having a λmax of at least 150 nm and up to and including 450 nm. The -A- recurring units are present in the reactive polymer in an amount of up to and including 98 mol % based on total reactive polymer recurring units. The -B- recurring units comprise pendant groups that provide crosslinking upon generation of the aromatic sulfonic acid groups in the -A- recurring units. The -B- recurring units are present in an amount of at least 2 mol %, based on total reactive polymer recurring units.

Crosslinkable reactive polymers comprise -A- and —B— recurring units, arranged randomly along a backbone. The -A- recurring units comprise pendant aromatic sulfonic acid oxime ester groups that are capable of providing pendant aromatic sulfonic acid groups upon irradiation with radiation having a λmax of at least 150 nm and up to and including 450 nm. The -A- recurring units are present in the reactive polymer in an amount of greater than 50 mol % and up to and including 98 mol % based on total reactive polymer recurring units. The —B— recurring units comprise pendant groups that provide crosslinking upon generation of the aromatic sulfonic acid groups in the -A- recurring units. The —B— recurring units are present in an amount of at least 2 mol %, based on total reactive polymer recurring units. These reactive polymers can be used in various pattern-forming methods.

An inkjet recording element comprises a support having thereon at least one ink-receiving layer, including a porous fusible layer comprising fusible polymeric particles and a thermoresponsive polymer that is capable of exhibiting a lower critical solution temperature below 20° C.
摘要:
An inkjet recording element having a support having thereon in order: a) a fusible, porous ink-receptive layer of fusible polymeric particles and a binder; b) a fusible, porous ink-transporting layer of fusible, polymeric particles and a film-forming, hydrophobic binder. The invention is also directed to an inkjet printing process wherein the ink-receptive layer and/or the support, each either alone or in combination, is capable of receiving substantially all of the ink carrier liquid received after the ink carrier liquid has passed through the ink-receptive layer.
摘要:
A method of selectively producing a glossy or matte finish to an ink jet printed image by applying a clear protective plastic laminate having a glossy finish to the surface of the image, heating the laminate to soften it and then selectively impressing a surface texture into the soften laminate. Pressing the softened laminate against an endless belt having a textured surface forms the surface texture. The laminate is maintained in contact with the belt for a cooling period so as to permit a cold separation of the laminate from the belt.
