摘要:
An imaging member, such as a negative-working printing plate, can be prepared using a hydrophilic imaging layer comprised of a heat-sensitive hydrophilic polymer having a positively charged moiety, and optionally a photothermal conversion material. The heat-sensitive polymer has recurring units containing an N-alkylated aromatic heterocyclic group or an organoonium group that reacts to provide increased oleophilicity in areas exposed to energy that provides or generates heat. For example, heat can be supplied by laser irradiation in the IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thus, the heat-sensitive polymer is considered “switchable” in response to heat, and provides an imaging means without wet processing.
摘要:
An imaging member, such as a negative-working printing plate, can be prepared using a hydrophilic heat-sensitive imaging layer comprised of a hydrophilic heat-sensitive, crosslinked vinyl polymer containing recurring organoonium groups. The imaging member can also include a photothermal conversion material such as carbon black or an infrared radiation absorbing dye. The heat-sensitive polymer has recurring units containing an organoammonium, organophosphonium or organosulfonium group that reacts to provide increased oleophilicity (ink receptivity) in response to heat. Heat is preferably generated by laser irradiation in the IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The heat-sensitive polymer is considered “switchable” in response to heat. The imaging member can be used in printing methods without the usual wet processing steps.
摘要:
A laser-exposed thermal recording element comprising a support having thereon a dye layer comprising a dye dispersed in a polymeric binder, the dye comprising a laser light-absorbing dye absorbing at the wavelength of a laser used to expose the element, wherein the dye layer also contains a stabilizing IR-absorbing dye with an absorption wavelength maximum approximately equal to or longer than that of the laser light-absorbing dye.
摘要:
An integral analytical element for analysis of liquids for their cholesterol content is disclosed. The element is of the type which comprises at least two superposed layers including a spreading layer and a reagent layer in fluid contact and, optionally, a support. Cholesterol oxidase and a composition for the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters comprising lipase having cholesterol esterase activity and protease are included in the element such that cholesterol esters contained in a sample applied to the spreading layer are saponified to free cholesterol and free cholesterol is decomposed in the presence of cholesterol oxidase to produce a detectable change related to the total cholesterol content of the sample.
