Abstract
Abstract An improved package for photopolymerized recording materials is disclosed. The package consists essentially of a cover plate, a substrate spaced apart from said cover plate, at least one of the said cover plate or said substrate having a coating on an internal surface of a photopolymerizable compound or a catalyst therefore, and fluid ingress means for introducing fluid into the space between said cover plate and said substrate. In a particularly preferred embodiment the ingress means is associated with a collapsible vessel located outside the basic package. Also disclosed are methods for using the package such as in holographic nondestructive testing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A new and improved method of storing components of photopolymerizable composition used in the recording of photopolymer images and photopolymer holograms wherein a monomer solution is separated from a photo-catalytic solution prior to the formation of said photopolymerizable composition comprising storing said monomer solution in a collapsible container separated from said catalytic solution which has been coated onto a substrate separated by spacers from a cover plate connected to said container by a fluid ingress means and a breakaway seal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A new and improved method of storing components of photopolymerizable composition used in the recording of photopolymer images and photopolymer holograms wherein a monomer solution is separated from a photo-catalytic solution prior to the formation of said photopolymerizable composition comprising storing said monomer solution in a collapsible container separated from said catalytic solution which has been coated onto a substrate separated by spacers from a cover plate connected to said container by a fluid ingress means and a breakaway seal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said catalytic solution is comprised of a mixture of a benzenesulfinate, methylene blue and gelatin in water which has been rendered resistant to deformation during coverage by said monomer by the addition of samll amounts of formalin and is succeptable to diffusion into said monomer subsequent to having been covered by said monomer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said benzenesulfinate is sodium benzenesulfinate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said catalytic solution has been coated onto said cover plate.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of storing components of a photopolymerizable composition comprising forming a package consisting of a substrate separated from a cover plate by a spacing means and a container wherein said substrate is coated with a solution of a catalyst in a gel and wherein said container, containing a monomer solution, is separated from said substrate by a fluid ingress means and a breakway seal.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of storing components of a photopolymerizable composition comprising forming a package consisting of a substrate separated from a cover plate by a spacing means and a container wherein said substrate is coated with a solution of a catalyst in a gel and wherein said container, containing a monomer solution, is separated from said substrate by a fluid ingress means and a breakway seal.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
The package of claim 5 wherein said catalytic solution is comprised of a solution of a benzenesulfinate and methylene blue in water having a trace of formalin added as a hardner in gelatin and wherein said monomer solution is comprised of a mixture of acrylates and acrylamides.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
The package of claim 5 wherein said benzenesulfinate is sodium benzenesulfinate, and said mixture of acrylates and acrylamides is comprised of barium acrylate, lead acrylate, and acrylamide.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
76 words
A new and improved method of storing components of a photopolymerizable composition wherein a monomer solution is separated from a photo-catlytic solution prior to the formation of said photopolymerizable composition comprising coating said catalytic solution onto a cover plate separated from a substrate having a coating of said monomer by a collapsible spacer means which when collapsed allows said cover plate to contact said substrate thereby initiating a diffusion process for formation of said photopolymerizable composition.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
76 words
A new and improved method of storing components of a photopolymerizable composition wherein a monomer solution is separated from a photo-catlytic solution prior to the formation of said photopolymerizable composition comprising coating said catalytic solution onto a cover plate separated from a substrate having a coating of said monomer by a collapsible spacer means which when collapsed allows said cover plate to contact said substrate thereby initiating a diffusion process for formation of said photopolymerizable composition.
