Description

1~54839 The present invention is directed to a recording method for forming a permanent or stabilized image resulting from the information-wise exposure of a free radical photo-sensitive aterial as hereinafter defined, wherein said method includes the inactivation of the photosensitivity of the compound pro-ducing the free radical.
By the term "free radical photosensitive material"
employed in the present description is meant a photosensitive material in which at least one of the photosensitive ingredients is an ultraviolet and/or visible light sensitive organic poly-halogen compound producing photoradicals on exposure with said radiation.
Photographic dye-forming systems based on the use of said polyhalogen compound and a dye precursor compound have been des-cribed, e.g. by R.A. Fotland in J. Phot. Sci., 18 (1970), 33-37, in the United States Patents 3,102,810 and 3,377,167, the United Kingdom Patents 1,151578 and 1,073,345 and in the Belgian Patents 771,848 - 786,973 - 787,339 and 790,340 corresponding with the published German applicatlons Nos. 2,142,966; 2,241,563;
2,244,783; and 2,251,105, respectively.
In all these dye-forming systems carbon tetrabromide and/
or iodoform are the most commonly used photoradical-generating compounds because these compounds excel in photosensitivity when compared with other representatives of the class of photosensitive organic polyhalogen compounds.
One of the presently known stabilization techniques makes use of the volatility of the carbon tetrabromide, which can be ~OSW39 removed from the non-exposed portions of the recording mate-rial relatively easily by evaporation. A suitable stabiliza-tion temperature is, e.g., in the range of 100 to 150C.
~ he evaporation of carbon tetrabromide in the environment of the operating personel poses, however, a problem since the compound is physiologically not inert and classified as being toxic (see I. ~ax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Mate-rials (1968)).
~ he toxicity problem still remains when applying another commonly used stabilization technique that is based on the extraction of the photosensitive polyhalogen compound.
In the known extraction-stabilization technique a solvent for the photosensitive polyhalogen compound is used, which solvent does not affect or only weakly affects the binding agent of the recording layer. Some solvents such as diethyl ether, although being excellent extraction agents cannot be used for the risk of explosion. Other suitable extraction solvents belonging to the class of liquid halogenated aliphatic hydro-carbons are not miscible with water and must not be drained off in the sewer.
Now a recording process has been found including image stabilization comprising the steps of :
(1) image-wise exposing to active electromagnetic radio-tion a recording material containing in a recording layer a dye precursor compound and at least one photosensitive organic polyha~ogen compound capable of producing photoradicals and GV.781 PCT - 2 -lOS4839 a dyestuff with said dye precursor compound when exposed with ultraviolet radiation and/or visible light, and (2) by heating transforming the non-decomposed poly-halogen compound into a non-photosensitive substance by reac-tion with at least one stabilising substance selected from the group consisting of triphenylamine, a "soft-base" containing an element of the group consisting of phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, selenium and tellurium, and an ~,~ -ethylenically unsaturated compound in which at least the ~-carbon atom of at least one ethylene group is linked to cyano, a cyanomethyl group, an aGyl group, an acyl-oxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group or an aryl group, said stabilizing substance(s) being available in a layer adjacent to the recording layer for allowing the reaction with non-photo-decomposed polyhalogen compound on heating.
By the wording "soft base" is understood in the present invention a substance whose logarithm of the reaction rate constant of the reaction of the base with the trans-Pt (C5H5N)2Cl2 complex is larger than 3. Soft bases having that property are described in Science 151, 172-7 (1966) and in J.Chem.~duc. 45, 581-587 (1968) more particularly in Table of the article "Acids and Bases, HSAB" by Ralph G.Pearson.
The present invention includes further an integral copy material containing the photosensitive polyhalogen compound and stabilizing agent out of direct chemical contact from each GV.781 PCl - ~ -lOS4839 other at room temperature (20-30C) but in such a condition that reactive contact is effected through heating of the mate-rial at a temperature above 60C.
In the integral copy material system different techniques of keeping the polyhalogen compound and the "soft base" and/or sterically hindered phenol out of reactive chemical contact below 60C may be applied. For example, the reactants are kept out of direct chemical contact by enveloping at least one of the reactants in a capsule or droplet that contains a shell or envelope of a material, normally a polymeric mate-rial or wax that prevents the direct contact with the other reactant. ~he capsule shell or droplet envelope is ruptured or softened by heating, as a result of which the reactants enter into reactive contact.
Preferred integral copy materials applied in the present invention contain the photosensitive organic polyhalogen com-pound and stabilizing substance out of chemical reactive con-tact at least below 60C in apart binder layers in which the layer containing the stabilizing substance is a layer adjacent to the layer containing the polyhalogen compound and is applied from a solution in a volatile liquid, which is a non-solvent for the polyhalogen compound and the binder con-tained in the imaging layer comprising the polyhalogen com-pound and dye precursor compound. Premature reaction is avoided effectively when in a first layer on the support, e.g. resin support, of the recording material a vinyl car-bazole homopolymer or copolymer binder containing the dye GV.781 PCT _ 4 _ 1054~39 precursor compound, e.g. a spiropyran compound and polyhalogen compound and being insoluble or poorly soluble in ethanol or methanol, is coated and the stabilizing substance is app:Lied in a polymeric binder that is highly soluble in ethanol. Preferred binders for the covering layer are cel-lulose nitrate, polyvinyl acetate, ethylcellulose and poly-vinylbutyral.
If coated on a removable carrier, the very vinyicarbazole polymer or copolymer film containing the dye precursor com-pound and polyhalogen compound may serve as the support butpreferably it is permanently supported on a separate heat-resistant film, e.g. a polyester resin film, preferably a polyethylene terephthalate film. ~he ratio of vinyl carba-zole, homopolymer or copolymer to dye precursor compound in the integral sheet system material may be in the range of about 20 to 2 parts by weight of polymer to 1 part by weight of dye precursor compound.
~ he triphenylamine and "soft base" stabilizing agent are preferably present in the recording material at least in equimolar amount with respect to the photosensitive poly-halogen compound.
~ he molar amount of ,~ -ethylenically unsaturated compound is preferably at least 2 times as large as the molar amount of the photosensitive polyhalogen compound in the recording material.
If plasticizers are used in the layer containing the triphenylamine, "soft base" and/or ~,~ -ethylenicalIy unsatu-GV.781 PC~ - 5 -:

1 1~54839 rated compound preference is given to those that do not opa-cify the recording material, in other words those that are compatible with the binder, e.g. cellulose nitrate. The plasticizer should therefore be soluble in the same solvent as the binder. It should be essentially non-volatile in normal storage conditions. Suitable plasticizers for cellu-lo~e nitrate are polyalkylene glycol and camphor.
Particularly useful stabilizing agents of the "soft base"
type of the elements phosphorus, arsenic, antimony or bismuth correspond to the following structural formula :

r - Ar ~ Ar wh~rein :
X is phosphorus, arsenic, antimony or bismuth, and Ar is an aryl group e.g. a phenyl group.
~he use of such triaryl compounds in a photosensitive mixture containing a leuco dye compound and a photosensitive organic halogen compound has been described already in the United Kingdom Patent Specification 1,161,058.
