Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A thermally developable material comprising a support and having thereon at least one non-photosensitive carrier layer comprising: a binder comprising vinyl butyral repeat units and alcohol repeat units, an adhesion promoting compound comprising ester repeat units, and a crosslinker comprising isocyanate repeat units; and at least one thermally developable imaging layer comprising organic silver salt grains, light-sensitive silver halide grains, a reducing agent, a binder comprising hydroxyl and butryal repeat units, and a crosslinker comprising at least one isocyanate group.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A thermally developable material comprising a support and having thereon: at least one non-photosensitive carrier layer comprising at least one first binder comprising at least one first binder compound comprising first vinyl butyral repeat units and first vinyl alcohol repeat units, at least one adhesion promoting compound, and at least one first crosslinker compound comprising first isocyanate groups; and at least one thermally developable imaging layer comprising organic silver salt grains, light-sensitive silver halide grains, at least one reducing agent, at least one second binder comprising at least one second binder compound comprising second vinyl butyral repeat units and second vinyl alcohol repeat units, and at least one second crosslinker compound comprising second isocyanate groups, wherein the equivalent ratio of the first vinyl alcohol repeat units to the second isocyanate groups is no greater than about 56. 2. The thermally developable material according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first crosslinker compound is selected from the group consisting of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, trimer hexamethylene diisocyanate, and poly(1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate). 3. The thermally developable material according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one second crosslinker compound is selected from the group consisting of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, trimer hexamethylene diisocyanate, and poly(1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate). 4. The thermally developable material according to claim 1 , wherein the equivalent ratio of the first vinyl alcohol repeat units to the second isocyanate groups is between about 14 and about 28. 5. The thermally developable material according to claim 1 , wherein the equivalent ratio of the first vinyl alcohol repeat units to the second isocyanate groups is about 14. 6. The thermally developable material according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one thermally developable layer further comprises poly(vinyl pyrrolidone/vinyl acetate). 7. The thermally developable material according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one adhesion promoting compound comprises ester groups. 8. The thermally developable material according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first binder compound comprises poly[(vinyl butyral)-ran-(vinyl alcohol)-ran-(vinyl acetate)]. 9. The thermally developable material according to claim 8 , wherein the weight ratio of the first vinyl alcohol repeat units to the first vinyl butyral repeat units is about 1:5. 10. A method for preparation of the thermally developable material of claim 1 , comprising: disposing the at least one non-photosensitive carrier layer on the substrate; and disposing the at least one thermally developable imaging layer on the at least one non-photo-sensitive carrier layer.
