摘要:
An imaging member, such as a negative-working printing plate or on-press cylinder, has an imaging layer comprised of a thermally sensitive ionomer (charged polymer) and a photothermal conversion material that is a bis(aminoaryl)polymethine dye that is soluble in water or a water-miscible organic solvent, and that has a &lgr;max greater than 700 nm as measured in water or the water-miscible organic solvent.

Infrared radiation-sensitive compounds have been found that are represented by Structure DYE as follows: wherein R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group, substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, or substituted or unsubstituted carbocyclic aromatic group, R1 and R1 are independently substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic or carbocyclic aromatic groups, and M+ is a monovalent cation. These compounds have a &lgr;max above 700 nm and are can be used in a number of photosensitive or heat-sensitive imaging materials.
摘要:
An imaging member, such as a negative-working printing plate or on-press cylinder, can be prepared with a hydrophilic imaging layer comprised of a heat-sensitive hydrophilic charged polymer (ionomer) and an infrared radiation sensitive negatively-charged oxonol dye that has a &lgr;max of greater than 700 nm. The heat-sensitive polymer and IR dye can be formulated in water or water-miscible solvents to provide highly thermal sensitive imaging compositions. In the imaging member, the polymer reacts to provide increased hydrophobicity 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. The heat-sensitive polymer is considered “switchable” in response to heat, and provides a lithographic image without conventional alkaline processing.

Disclosed is a molecule containing a first chromophore that exhibits a first absorption maximum above 700 nm and a second chromophore that exhibits a second absorption maximum different from the first absorption maximum, wherein the absorption of the first and second chromophores are substantially independent of each other. The molecule exhibits improved stability.

This invention relates to a latex composition comprising water as a continuous phase and, as the dispersed phase, hydrophobic polymer particles having associated therewith an infrared polymethine dye having covalently bonded thereto a phenylenediamine moiety. It further relates to a process for associating dye with polymer particles in a latex composition comprising the steps of: (1) forming a dye solution by dissolving a polymethine dye having covalently bonded thereto a phenylenediamine moiety in a water miscible or immiscible organic solvent; (2) forming a latex by dispersing hydrophobic polymer particles in an aqueous continuous phase; (3) blending the latex with the dye solution; and (4) loading of the polymer particles by removing the organic solvent, thereby forming a latex having the polymethine dye associated therewith.
