Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a film having a large area and to allow the utilization of this film for image formation by forming a coated film of a soluble conjugation system polymer, then irradiating this film with light to insolubilize the photoirradiated part. CONSTITUTION:The coated film is formed by applying the soluble conjugation system polymer on a base material and is then irradiated with light to insolubilize the soluble conjugation system polymer, by which the parts varying in the wettability on the thin film surface are formed to the state of the image. This thin film is used without being dissolved and is used as a planographic printing plate. Polyalkyl thiophene is preferably used as the soluble conjugation system polymer and the more specific examples thereof include poly-3-propyl thiophene, poly-3-hexyl thiophene, etc. The images having the large area are easily formed in this way.

Conventionally, photopolymers that utilize water-soluble photocrosslinking agents include dichromate type, diazonium salt type, and water-soluble azide compounds. In addition, various types of polymers are known, such as those that utilize the photocrosslinking reaction of nonaqueous polymers and those that incorporate functional groups with photocrosslinking functions into polymers (for example, Photopolymer Conversation Complete Edition, ``Photopolymer Handbook'', industrial research committee,
1990). Furthermore, as a method of synthesizing soluble polymers, for example, polymerization of 3-alkylthiophene is known. In particular, poly-3-alkylthiophenes are known to exhibit not only solubility but also optically interesting behavior such as thermochromic and solvatochromic properties (for example, Yoshino et al. Basics and Applications (IBC, 1988)). In addition, electrochemical redox (or doping, dedoping) methods are known as image forming methods using conductive polymers such as conjugated polymers such as polythiophene. A lithographic printing method utilizing the accompanying wetting process has been devised (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-142835). Although it is not an image forming method, there is a method for dissolving a conjugated polymer and an element using the same, for example, in JP-A-22211329.
As disclosed in the above publication, insoluble matter obtained when polymerizing a polymer is used.

Typical photopolymers have a short wavelength and can generally only be sensitized by ultraviolet light. Furthermore, dichromate types require the use of chromium, which is a harmful substance. Furthermore, the electrochemical redox method requires special electrodes depending on the density of the image. In addition, with the method of dissolving conjugated polymers using light irradiation as disclosed in JP-A-2-228329, it is impossible to obtain a uniform film with a large area unless it is carried out in a solution during light irradiation. Therefore, it is difficult to use it for image formation.

The present inventors have solved the above problem, and as a result of intensive study on a method that responds to visible light and obtains images in a solid state,
The following invention was achieved. That is, the present invention applies a soluble conjugated polymer to a base material, creates a coating film, and then irradiates the soluble conjugated polymer with light to insolubilize the soluble conjugated polymer. This is a method in which an image is formed by dissolving the irradiated area in a solvent. In addition, after applying a soluble conjugated polymer to a base material and creating a coating film, the soluble conjugated polymer is insolubilized by irradiation with light, and parts of the thin film surface with different wettability are imaged. This thin film can be used as a lithographic printing plate without being dissolved. As the soluble conjugated polymer in the present invention, polyalkylthiophene is preferably used. Specifically, poly-3-propylthiophene, poly-3-
hexylthiophene, poly-3-heptylthiophene,
Examples include poly-3-octylthiophene, poly-3-nonylthiophene, poly-3-decylthiophene, poly-3-dodecylthiophene, poly-3-laurylthiophene, and the like. Further, copolymers of poly-3-hexylthiophene and thiophene, poly-3-nonylthiophene and thiophene, poly-3-laurylthiophene and thiophene, and the like can also be used. These polymers can be dissolved in halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, ethereal solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, and aromatic solvents such as benzene. Substrates for forming images include glass plates, aluminum plates, anodized aluminum plates, copper plates, metal alloys,
Plastic films such as polyethylene terephthalate, waterproof paper, etc. can be used. The thickness of the film to be created is generally 1 am-0, 1111L.
In particular, 50 nm to 10 μm is preferable. The light source for light irradiation may be any light source that has a wavelength at which the soluble conjugated polymer absorbs, a numerical tungsten lamp, or a laser beam such as an argon laser, an excimer laser, or a dye laser. can do. The light irradiation time can be adjusted by the intensity of the light source and the coating thickness of the conjugated polymer. The light-irradiated area can be dissolved by immersing it in the solvent used when creating the coating film. As the solvent for dissolving the coating film, halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, ether solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, and aromatic solvents such as benzene can be used.
