Abstract
Abstract A photohardenable composition comprising a free radical addition polyermizable or crosslinkable compound and a cationic dye-borate anion complex, said complex being capable of absorbing actinic radiation and producing free radicals which initiate free radical polymerization of crosslinking of said compound; and photosensitive materials employing the composition where in one embodiment the composition is microencapsulated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A photosensitive material comprising a support having a layer of microcapsules on one surface thereof, at least a portion of said microcapsules having an imageforming agent associated therewith and containing an internal phase including a photohardenable composition, said composition comprising a free radical addition polymerizable or crosslinkable compound and a cationic dye-borate anion complex, said complex being capable of absorbing actinic radiation and producing free radicals which initiate free radical polymerization or crosslinking of said compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A photosensitive material comprising a support having a layer of microcapsules on one surface thereof, at least a portion of said microcapsules having an imageforming agent associated therewith and containing an internal phase including a photohardenable composition, said composition comprising a free radical addition polymerizable or crosslinkable compound and a cationic dye-borate anion complex, said complex being capable of absorbing actinic radiation and producing free radicals which initiate free radical polymerization or crosslinking of said compound.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
The photosensitive material of claim 1 wherein said cationic dye-borate anion complex is represented by the formula: ##STR16## where D is a cationic dye moiety; and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alicyclic, heterocyclic, and allyl groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The photosensitive material of claim 2 wherein said microcapsules have discrete walls.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The photosensitive material of claim 3 wherein said cationic dye is selected from the group consisting of cationic methine, polymethine, triarylmethane, indoline, thiazine, xanthene, oxazine, and acridine dyes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The photosensitive material of claim 4 wherein said cationic dye is selected from the group consisting of cationic cyanine, carbocyanine, hemicyanine, rhodamine, and azamethine dyes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
The photosensitive material of claim 5 wherien said compound is an theylenically unsaturated compound.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
The photosensitive material of claim 6 wherein at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 is an alkyl group and at least one is an aryl group.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
The photosensitive material of claim 7 wherein said image-forming agent is a substantially colorless chromogenic material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
79 words
The photosensitive material of claim 8 wherein said material is useful in forming full color images and said microcapsules include a first set of microcapsules having a cyan image-forming agent associated therewith, a second set of microcapsules having a magenta image-forming agent associated therewith and a third set of microcapsules having a yellow image-forming agent associated therewith, at least one of said first, second and third sets of microcapsules containing said photohardenable composition contain said cationic dye-borate anion complex.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
53 words
The photosensitive material of claim 9 wherein said material is useful in forming images by a process which comprises the steps of image-wise exposing said microcapsules to three distinct wavelengths of actinic radiation which respectively harden said first, second and third sets of microcapsules and subjecting said microcapsules to a uniform rupturing force.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
18 words
