Abstract
Abstract Photopolymerizable compositions for image recording, containing, among other components, addition-polymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated compounds and polymeric binders, wherein at least one of these binders is a copolymer of the formula (I) containing 5 to 50 percent by weight of one or more different structural units C1, C2, or combinations thereof containing carboxyl groups. ##STR1##

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
211 words
A photopolymerizable composition for image recording comprising (a) at least one addition-polymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated compound, (b) a photoinitiator or a photoinitiator system and (c) at least one copolymeric binder containing one or more structural units A and B and at least one additional structural unit C1 or C2 containing carboxyl groups, characterized in that (I) 5 to 50 percent by weight of the copolymer is formed from one or more different structural units C1, C2 or combinations thereof containing carboxyl groups (II) the proportion of one or more different structural units A is 5 to 95 percent by weight, (III) the proportion of one or more different structural units B is 0 to 50 percent by weight and (IV) A, B, C1 and C2 have the structures ##STR6## in which R 1 =H, CH 3 , C 2 H 5 , phenyl and alkylphenyl, R 2 =H, CH 3 , phenyl, --COOR 9 , --CONR 10 R 11 and --CN, R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 =H and alkyl and R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 and R 11 =H, alkyl and aryl, which is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more hydroxy, ester, halogen, keto, ether or thioether groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
