Abstract
Abstract A light sensitive polymer, susceptible to crosslinking on exposure to actinic light. The polymer contains the recurring unit; R1, R2 and R3 are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen and lower alkyl. At least one of R4 and R5 is an azidobenzoyloxy or azidonaphthoyloxy group. The other of R4 and R5 is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, halogen, alkoxy, aryloxy, aralkoxy, alkoxyalkoxy, aryloxyalkoxy, alkoxyaryloxy, aryloxyaryloxy, alkylacyloxy, arylacyloxy, alkenylacyloxy, aralkenylacyloxy, heterocyclic substituted alkenylacyloxy, azidobenzoyloxy and azidonaphthoyloxy.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process for preparing presensitized lithographic plates which comprises the steps of: preparing a mixture comprising a volatile solvent and a light-sensitive polymer susceptible to crosslinking upon exposure to actinic light containing the recurring unit:
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process as set forth in claim 5 wherein said solvent is aqueous and said mixture is an emulsion.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process as set forth in claim 5 wherein a sensitizer is also included in said solution.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
67 words
A process as set forth in claim 5 wherein an exposed plate suitable for printing is prepared by the additional steps of: exposing the presensitized plate through a photographic negative to a source of actinic light for a time sufficient to photocrosslink said light-sensitive polymer in the areas exposed; and removing noncrosslinked polymer from the unexposed areas of the plate with a solvent for the noncrosslinked polymer.
