Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an image-receiving material used in an image forming method using a photosensitive material having a photosensitive layer containing silver halide, a reducing agent, and a polymerizable compound on a support. .

[Background of the Invention] Conventionally, image-receiving materials have been used in various image-forming methods as materials that allow images to be easily obtained through relatively simple operations such as pressure transfer when forming images using recording materials. has been done. Such image-receiving materials have various configurations depending on their uses.

For example, one may consist of a simple support (single-layer structure), one or more layers (such as an image-receiving layer) may be provided on one side of the support, or one or more layers (such as an image-receiving layer) may be provided on the opposite side of the support. Examples include those in which a release layer including an adhesive layer is further provided on the back surface of the support.

These image-receiving materials are used in image forming methods such as electrophotography, thermal transfer type thermal recording method, heat sublimation type thermal recording method, etc.

That is, in an image forming method in which a photosensitive material having the above structure is irradiated with light to imagewise polymerize a polymerizable compound, and then a color image-forming substance is imagewise transferred to an image-receiving material together with the unpolymerized polymerizable compound. , the image-receiving material allows images formed on the photosensitive material to be easily and efficiently reproduced.

The above-mentioned image-receiving material is such that the image from the light-sensitive material is transferred in good condition, and even after the transfer! It is preferable that the A# operation be easily performed. It is also desirable that the transferred image obtained on the image-receiving material be of high quality.

For this reason, image-receiving materials are often subjected to treatments such as imparting smoothness to the transfer surface, which sometimes causes problems in handling the image-receiving materials. For example, when carrying out an image forming method, if a large amount of image-receiving material is prepared in advance in a stacked state corresponding to the photosensitive material, and these are mounted on a transfer device and supplied one after another,
In some cases, adhesion occurred between the image-receiving materials, resulting in two sheets being supplied and stopping subsequent operations. In particular, in image formation using the above-mentioned photosensitive material, the image-receiving material has a structure including a support and an image-receiving layer (a layer having a specific mechanism 1M for image formation and fixation) provided thereon. It is preferable to use something. However, this image-receiving layer is usually formed using a hydrophilic compound as a binder. As a result, the transfer surface became sticky, and the above-mentioned troubles tended to occur more frequently. In addition, there were some problems, especially under high temperature and high humidity conditions.

[Summary of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide an image-receiving material that can be easily handled by preventing adhesion between image-receiving materials placed in a stacked state.

That is, in the present invention, a photosensitive material having a photosensitive layer containing silver halide, a reducing agent, and a polymerizable compound on a support is subjected to a development treatment simultaneously with or after imagewise exposure, and the photosensitive material is developed. An image forming method in which an unpolymerized polymerizable compound is transferred to an image-receiving material and an image is formed on the image-receiving material by pressing the photosensitive layer side of the material and the transfer surface side of the image-receiving material in a state where they are overlapped. In the image receiving material used for
The image receiving material is characterized in that a fine powder layer is provided on the surface of the image receiving material opposite to the transfer surface side.

[Effects of the Invention] The image-receiving material of the present invention has a fine powder layer (a layer containing fine powder) on the surface opposite to the transfer surface, so it is difficult to mix with other image-receiving materials. Adhesion can be effectively prevented. That is, by providing a fine powder layer, minute irregularities are formed on the surface due to the fine powder contained.
Reduce contact area with other image receiving materials. As a result, the adhesion force is relaxed and adhesion is prevented.

In particular, the fine powder layer according to the present invention is advantageously balanced when the image receiving layer is provided on the support.

Therefore, if the image-receiving material of the present invention is used, it can be easily handled without the above-mentioned troubles caused by adhesion. Further, even when carrying out an image forming method using a transfer device or the like, it can be carried out efficiently without any defects in the image receiving material and without stopping the device. This is particularly advantageous for image formation under conditions of high temperature and high humidity.

The fine powder layer can be formed by preparing a coating solution using the above-mentioned binder and fine powder using water or a suitable solvent, applying this to one side of the support (the side opposite to the image-receiving layer), and drying it. Can be done. The fine powder is generally used in a dry weight ratio of 0.01 to 1.0 relative to the amount of binder, although it varies depending on the substance constituting the binder. Preferably 0. It ranges from l to 0.8.

The thickness of the fine powder layer thus formed is in the range of 0.1 to 10 ILm. Preferably it is in the range of 0.2 to 54 m.

By providing the above-mentioned fine powder layer, minute irregularities are always formed on the back surface of the image-receiving material, thereby preventing adhesion with other image-receiving materials.

The fine powder layer of the present invention refers to a layer in which solid particles such as a matting agent are dispersed in a binder as described above. It can also be formed in a dispersed manner.

In addition to the image-receiving material shown in FIG. 1, there may be mentioned, for example, the image-receiving material shown in FIG.

As seen in FIG. 2, the fine powder layer 13 according to the present invention is provided on the side of the back layer 14 opposite to the support 11. That is, the fine powder layer 13 is always the same as the image receiving layer 1 of the image receiving material.
2 is provided on the outermost layer on the opposite side.

The back layer 14 is a layer made of the binder described above, and may contain the polymer latex described above depending on the case.

Next, the image-receiving layer and support provided on the opposite side of the fine powder layer will be described.

The image-receiving layer of the image-receiving material is formed by overlapping a photosensitive material that has been subjected to imagewise exposure and development processing with the image-receiving material and applying pressure, thereby transferring the photosensitive material imagewise to the image-receiving material to form and fix an image. This is a layer that has a function.

The image-receiving layer can be configured in various forms depending on the constituent components optionally contained in the photosensitive layer of the photosensitive material. Generally, the image-receiving layer is formed by containing necessary components in a binder.

Specific components that can constitute the image-receiving layer include:
In addition to binders, color developers, mordants, thermoplastic compounds,
Examples include photopolymerization initiators, thermal polymerization initiators, dyes, and pigments.

As the binder that can be used for the image-receiving layer, the above-mentioned binder for forming a fine powder layer can be used.

Further, as in the image receiving material described in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-53879, the binder has an oxygen permeability coefficient of 1. OX
10-11cm''・Cm/Cg・sec・cmHg or less may be used.If a polymer with low oxygen permeability is used as described above, the color image forming material transferred to the image receiving layer may be deteriorated. The image obtained on the image-receiving material hardly fades even after long-term storage or storage under harsh conditions.

The binder is contained in the image receiving layer in an amount of 0.01 to 100 g/r.
It is preferable to use it within the range of n'. A more preferred range of use is 0.1 to 10 g/m''.

When using a system that develops color by contacting two or more components, such as a color former and a color developer, as a coloring system for a color image forming substance, - or more of the above components are used as the color image forming substance, and the remaining One of the above components can be included in the image-receiving layer as a color developer. The above-mentioned coloring system has the advantage of producing clear images with high sensitivity.

Systems that develop color through contact of two or more components include various systems that develop color through acid-base reactions, fermentation-reduction reactions, coupling reactions, chelate-forming reactions, etc. between two or more components. For example, pressure-sensitive copying paper (pages 29-58) and Azography (pages 87-95) described in Hiroyuki Moriga's Introductory Special Paper Chemistry J (published in 1975)
Pages), known coloring systems such as thermosensitive coloring by chemical changes (pp. 118-120), or the preliminary proceedings of the seminar sponsored by the Kinki Chemical Industry Association: Latest Pigment Chemistry - Attractive Uses and New Developments as Functional Pigments - 1 The coloring system described on pages 26-32 (June 19, 1980) can be used. Specifically, a coloring system consisting of a coloring agent with a partial structure such as lactone, lactam, and spiropyran used in pressure-sensitive paper and an acidic substance (acidic color developer) such as acid clay and phenols; aromatic diazonium salt. A system that utilizes azo coupling reactions of diazotate, diazosulfonates, naphthols, anilines, activated methylenes, etc.; reactions of hexamethylenetetramine with ferric ions and gallic acid, and phenolphthalein-combrexons. A chelate-forming reaction such as a reaction between ferric stearate and an alkaline earth metal ion, and an oxidation-reduction reaction such as a reaction between ferric stearate and pyrogallol or a reaction between silver behenate and 4-methoxy-1-naphthol can be used.

In addition, as an example of a system that develops color through contact of two or more components to a light-sensitive material, there is a patent application filed in 1983.
Reaction between a leuco dye and an acidic color developer described in Japanese Patent Application No. 53876; Reaction between a triazene compound, an acidic color developer, and a coupler described in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-96339: Japanese Patent Application No. 1983
Examples include the reaction between a yellow color-forming leuco dye and an acidic color developer as disclosed in No. 1-133091 and No. 61-133092.

When the image-receiving layer contains at least one of the two or more components described above, it is preferable that the image-receiving layer contains a color developer (or a component corresponding to the color developer).

When dyes or pigments are used as color image-forming substances, a mordant may be included in the image-receiving layer. In addition,
A photosensitive material characterized by using a dye or a pigment as a color image forming substance is described in Japanese Patent Application No. 1987-29987. The mordant that can be used in the image-receiving layer can be selected from compounds known in photographic technology and the like, taking into consideration conditions such as the type of dye or pigment. Note that, if necessary, two or more image-receiving layers may be constructed using a plurality of mordants having different mordant powers.

The image-receiving layer may contain a thermoplastic compound. When the image-receiving layer contains a thermoplastic compound, it is preferable that the image-receiving layer itself is constituted as an aggregate of thermoplastic compound fine particles. The image-receiving layer having the above structure has the advantage that it is easy to form a transferred image, and that a glossy image can be obtained by heating after image formation. The above thermoplastic compound is not particularly limited and can be arbitrarily selected from known plastic resins (plastics), waxes, and the like. However, the glass transition point of the thermoplastic resin and the melting point of the wax are preferably 200° C. or lower. Regarding an image receiving material having an image receiving layer containing thermoplastic compound fine particles as described above, Japanese Patent Application No. 61-1249
No. 52, specification 61-124953.

The image-receiving layer may contain a photopolymerization initiator or a thermal polymerization initiator. In image formation using the image-receiving material of the present invention, the color image-forming substance is transferred together with the unpolymerized polymerizable compound as described below. Therefore, a photopolymerization initiator or a thermal polymerization initiator can be added to the image-receiving layer for the purpose of smoothly proceeding with the curing process (fixing process) of the unpolymerized polymerizable compound. Further, regarding an image receiving material having an image receiving layer containing a photopolymerization initiator, see Japanese Patent Application No. 61-3025, and regarding an image receiving material having an image receiving layer containing a thermal polymerization initiator, see Japanese Patent Application No. 61-55502. There are descriptions for each.

A dye or pigment can be included in the image-receiving layer for the purpose of writing characters, symbols, frames, etc. on the image-receiving layer, or for the purpose of making the background of an image a specific color. Further, a dye or a pigment may be included in the image-receiving layer for the purpose of making it easier to distinguish between the front and back sides of the image-receiving material. As the above-mentioned dye or pigment, various known substances including dyes or pigments that can be used in image formation can be used, but there is a risk that the dye or pigment may damage the image formed in the image-receiving layer. In some cases, it is preferable to lower the dyeing density of the dye or pigment (for example, to reduce the reflection density to 1 or less), or to use a dye or pigment that has the property of being decolored by heating or light irradiation.

A co-imaging material having an image-receiving layer containing a dye or pigment having the property of being decolored by heating or light irradiation is described in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-96339.

Furthermore, when a white pigment such as titanium dioxide or barium sulfate is added to the image-receiving layer, the image-receiving layer can function as a white reflective layer. When the image-receiving layer functions as a white reflective layer, the white pigment is a thermoplastic compound! 1g equivalent'), O,
It is preferable to use the amount in the range of Ig to 100g.

When the dye or pigment described above is contained in the image-receiving layer, it may be contained uniformly or unevenly distributed in a portion. For example, a portion of one reflected image can be made into a projected image by constructing the support described later from a light-transmitting material and including the above-mentioned white pigment in a portion of the image-receiving layer.

By doing so, image information that is unnecessary in the projected image can be written as a reflected image in the image-receiving layer portion containing the white pigment.

The image-receiving layer may be configured as two or more layers depending on the functions described above. Further, the layer thickness of the image-receiving layer is 1 to 1
Preferably it is 100p, more preferably 1 to 20gm.

Materials that can be used for the support of the image-receiving material include:
Films such as glass, paper, wood-free paper, coated paper, cast coated paper, baryta paper, synthetic paper, metals and their analogs, polyester, acetyl cellulose, cellulose ester, polyvinyl acetal, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, etc., and resin materials. Examples include paper laminated with polymers such as polyethylene and polyethylene.

Note that when a porous material such as paper is used as the support for the image-receiving material, it is preferable that the material has a certain degree of smoothness. Specifically, regarding the above-mentioned smoothness, the surface of the support on which the image-receiving layer is provided has a filtered waviness curve derived from a cross-sectional curve measured in accordance with JIS-B-0610 under the condition of a cutoff value of 0.8 mm. When the maximum filtration undulation is measured at 100 arbitrary measurement points with a reference length of 0.2 mm, it is preferable that the surface has a surface property in which the maximum filtration undulation is 44 m or more. Regarding the image receiving material using the smooth support specified above, Japanese Patent Application No. 61-529
It is stated in the specification of No. 90. Further, in order to obtain a transparent image, the support of the image-receiving material may be made of a light-transmitting material. When obtaining a transparent image, the light transmittance of the support of the image-receiving material is preferably 30% or more, and 50% or more.
% or more is more preferable. For image-receiving materials using a transparent support, please refer to Japanese Patent Application No. 61-52991.
It is stated in the specification of the issue.

The image-receiving layer is prepared by preparing a coating liquid or paint in which the components of the image-receiving layer as described above are dissolved, emulsified, or dispersed using an arbitrary solvent, and then applying this coating liquid or paint to the fine powder layer of the support. can be easily formed by applying it to the other side and drying it.

Although the image-receiving material of the present invention has been explained using the above representative embodiments, it is as mentioned above that any layer may be provided in the image-receiving material of the present invention.

For example, a layer made of aggregates of thermoplastic compounds may be further provided on the image-receiving layer. When a layer made of aggregates of thermoplastic compounds is provided on the image-receiving layer, it is easy to form a transferred image, and after image formation, as in the case where the image-receiving layer contains a thermoplastic compound, It has the advantage that a glossy image can be obtained by heating. Further, the thermoplastic compounds that can be used in the layer consisting of aggregates of thermoplastic compounds are also the same as the thermoplastic compounds that can be included in the image-receiving layer described above. An image-receiving material in which a layer consisting of an aggregate of a thermoplastic compound is provided on the image-receiving layer is described in Japanese Patent Application No. 55503/1983.

In the following margin, an image forming method using the image-receiving material of the present invention as described above will be described.

The image forming method using the image-receiving material of the present invention involves simultaneous imagewise exposure of the light-sensitive material as described above.

Alternatively, after imagewise exposure, a development process is performed, the photosensitive material and the image-receiving material are pressed together in a superimposed state, and the image obtained on the photosensitive material is transferred onto the image-receiving material.

As an exposure method for imagewise exposure of a light-sensitive material, various exposure means can be used, but a latent image of silver halide is generally obtained by imagewise exposure to radiation including visible light.

The type of light source and the amount of exposure can be selected depending on the wavelength at which the silver halide is sensitive (or the sensitized wavelength when dye sensitization is performed) and sensitivity. Further, the original image may be a black and white image or a color image.

When forming an image on the image-receiving material of the present invention, the photosensitive material is subjected to a development treatment simultaneously with the imagewise exposure or after the imagewise exposure. As for development processing, Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-11149,
It is also possible to perform a development process using the developer described in JP-A-47-20741, JP-A-49-10697, JP-A-57-138632, JP-A-58-169143, and the like. In addition, JP-A No. 61-69062, which performs heat development processing,
The method described in each publication, No. 61-73145, is a dry treatment and therefore has the advantage of being convenient to operate and can be completed in a short time. Therefore, the latter is particularly preferable for developing the photosensitive material.

As the heating method in the heat development process, various conventionally known methods can be used. Also, JP-A-61°
Like the photosensitive material described in Japanese Patent No. 294434, a heat generating layer may be provided on the photosensitive material and used as a heating means.

The heating temperature is generally 80°C to 200°C, preferably 10°C.
The temperature ranges from 0°C to 160°C. The heating time is generally 1 second to 5 minutes, preferably 5 seconds to 1 minute.

The photosensitive material is developed as described above, and the polymerizable compound in either the area where a silver halide latent image is formed or the area where a latent image is not formed is polymerized. In addition, in photosensitive materials, the polymerizable compound in the area where the latent image of silver halide is generally polymerized in the above development process, but as in the photosensitive material described in Japanese Patent Application No. 60-21065, By adjusting the type, amount, etc. of the reducing agent used in the material, it is also possible to polymerize the polymerizable compound in the area where the silver halide latent image is not formed. This can be accomplished by polymerizing and curing the polymerizable compound in the area where the latent image is formed (or the area where it is not formed) as described above.

FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which an image is formed on a photosensitive material by performing a development process after imagewise exposure. Here, 21 is a support, and 22 is a photosensitive layer. The photosensitive layer 22 contains silver halide, a transition agent, and a polymerizable compound.As seen in FIG. part 3
A portion 36 in which the polymerizable compounds 5 and 1 are in an uncured state is formed.

Next, the above photosensitive material is superimposed on the image receiving material of the present invention and pressed. Note that various conventionally known methods can be used as the pressurizing means.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the above-obtained photosensitive material is superimposed on the image-receiving material of the present invention and pressure is applied to transfer the uncured portion 35 of the polymerizable compound onto the image-receiving material (image-receiving layer). FIG. As shown by the arrow in FIG. 4, a portion 35 in which the polymerizable compound is in an uncured state is transferred and formed as an image on the image-receiving layer of the image-receiving material.

After the image on the photosensitive material has been transferred in this manner, the photosensitive material is peeled off from the image-receiving material, and image formation is completed.

FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the image-receiving material of the present invention after image formation has been completed.
