Abstract
Abstract This invention is directed to a light-sensitive vesicular imaging composition comprising a sensitizer which liberates gas on irradiation and a binder which is essentially a copolymer of an alpha alkyl acrylonitrile with a styrene-type comonomer, including styrene per se and alpha and aryl substituted styrenes. The composition is coated as a thin film, carefully dried and may be conditioned with a hot water treatment or otherwise prenucleated to secure an imaging medium of superior qualities. After irradiation of this novel composition with a pattern of actinic radiation, gas released in the selected areas may be developed by overall heating to a visible record.
