Abstract
Abstract A recording material comprising a support, a layer of a light-sensitive composition on the support, and a transparent film on the layer of the light-sensitive composition wherein the light-sensitive composition comprises (a) a monomer containing at least two addition polymerizable unsaturated bonds and having a boiling point of at least 100° C, (b) polyvinyl butyral, and (c) a photopolymerization initiator represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1 is an alkyl group which may be substituted or a vinyl-methyl group, R 2 is an alkyl group, aryl group, or thienyl group, and Z is a group of non-metallic atoms required for forming a heterocyclic ring. After the recording material is imagewise exposed to light, the transparent film is peeled off while heating at about 70° to 150° C, whereby a positive or negative image is formed on each of the support and transparent film.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A process for forming an image which comprises imagewise exposing a recording material comprising a support, a light-sensitive composition layer on said support, and a transparent film on said light-sensitive composition layer, and then peeling off said transparent film to remove the exposed areas of said light-sensitive composition layer with said transparent film and to leave the unexposed areas of said light-sensitive composition layer on said support, thereby to form an image on said support, wherein said light-sensitive composition comprises: a. a monomer containing at least two addition-polymerizable unsaturated bonds and having a boiling point of at least 100° C, b. polyvinyl butyral, and c. a photopolymerization initiator represented by the formula: ##STR6## wherein R 1 is an alkyl group or vinylmethyl group, R 2 is an alkyl group, aryl group or thienyl group, and Z is a group of non-metallic atoms necessary to forming a heterocyclic ring, and said transparent film is peeled off at a temperature of about 70° to 150° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
