Abstract
Abstract Novel photosolubilizable compositions and their preparation are described. These compositions comprise (1) a water-insoluble compound containing one or more acid-degradable groups, and (2) a photoinitiator comprising a photolyzable acid progenitor. Presensitized elements utilizing these photosolubilizable compositions are also provided.
