Definitions

  • This invention relates to light sensitive compositions such as those described in United States Patent 3,042,517 issued July 3, 1962. More particularly, it relates to the addition of certain classes of nitrogen and/ or sulfur containing organic compounds to photosensitive compositions based on N-vinylcarbazole and CBr
  • light sensitive compositions consisting essentially of suitable N-vinyl com-pounds and suitable organic halogen compounds, which compositions when exposed photographically yielded a latent image which was rendered visible by means of either heat or infrared.
  • the resulting formulation was coated on gm. baryta paper in the manner described in the above noted patent to 0.003 inch wet thickness.
  • the coatings were exposed in four different Ways as follows:
  • Exposures were made to a sunlamp for l, 5, 30 and 60 seconds without a negative (step wedge) or glass plate both of which will absorb ultraviolet radiation from the sunlamp and pass only visible radiation.
  • mercapto compounds selected from the group consisting of mercapto benzothiazoles, and mercaptotetrazoles are effective in significantly increasing the response of N-vinylcarbazole, car bon tetrabromide compositions upon exposure to light and subsequent heat development.
  • the amount of the mercaptobenzothiazole or mercaptotetrazole compound which yield significantly improved results may be varied between 5 and 150 milligrams of this type of addition for the specific base formula given and optimum amounts are in the range of 40 to 75 milligrams in the base composition given.
  • the improvement begins to be noticeable at a 5 milligram addition and begins to reach a maximum in the range of 40 to 75 after which further additions yield no large improvement on the increase in speed and increase in density at equivalent exposures.
  • compositions of the instant invention are not confined to those described in the foregoing example as will be apparent from the data which follows and it is to be understood that each and any one or more of the constituents utilized in the example may be replaced by equivalent or similar materials.
  • CBr organic halo-gen compounds
  • pentabromoethane, iodoform and other compounds such as pentabromoethane, iodoform and other compounds such a those specifically described in United States Patent 3,147,117 issued Sept. 1, 1964 and represented by the general formula RC-X wherein each X represents a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom and not all of the Xs need be the same, and R represents alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, haloalkyl, aroyl, Cl, Br, I or H.
  • RC-X wherein each X represents a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom and not all of the Xs need be the same, and R represents alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, haloalkyl, aroyl, Cl, Br, I or H.
  • film forming binder material the presence of which is optional since when it is absent the composition can be applied to paper or other absorbent substrates and utilized when carried on such supports.
  • polystyrene or polvvinylchloride utilized in the preceding examples, other homopolymers or copolymers or mixtures of film forming materials may be utilized.
  • some film forming materials appear to'intluence the photosensitivity TABLE I.RESULTS OF EXPOSURES TO U.V. AND

  • Density is white light reflection density using a Photovolt densitometer.
  • Suitable sulfur-containing compounds include the following sulfur-containing organic compounds:
  • compositions of this invention may contain other substances added for a specific purpose.
  • One particularly preferred group of compounds which may be included in the compositions of this invention are the triaryl compounds of Group V elements particularly the triphenyl compounds of antimony, phosphorus, arsenic and bismuth each of which has been found to be effective in the diminishing or total elimination of the fogging occurring as a result of the thermal development step.
  • a base composition was made up as follows:
  • Elvax is a copolymer of polyethylene and polyvinylacetatc manufactured by the duPont company.
  • this formulation was coated under a Wratten 1 series safelight at a 0.003" wet thickness on pound baryta paper and after which was allowed to dry in the dark for 30 minutes before exposure. Comparisons were made between exposure results obtained on this control and the composition with the various sulphur compounds added to this formulation as listed in Table II.
  • the designated weight of the sulphur compound listed in Table II was added to the base composition just described, thoroughly stirred until dissolved, and again coated in a 3 mil wet thickness on baryta paper.
  • compositions were then exposed to a 500 watt photofiood reflector type lamp, placed at a distance of 12" and the exposure time in each case was 5 seconds. The exposure was made behind a mask so that a sharp demarcation between exposed and unexposed conditions could be established.
  • the sample was developed with an infrared lamp fitted with a ruby glass envelope which filtered out all radiation below 6500 A. The specimen was maintained at a distance of approximately 3 to 4" from the infrared lamp and moved continuously during thermal and infrared development to prevent localized overheating. A time period of development of 1 minute exposure to the inrfared lamp was utilized in each case.
  • the image portions of this composition were developed to a net density of between 2.5 and 3 in the image exposed areas after 60 seconds development to the infrared lamp described previously. Fog levels remained regularly below 0.05 unit of density under such conditions. Continuing the infrared development for a period of 5 minutes longer raises the fog level from 0.05 to about 0.07, whereas in the absence of the triphenylstibine composition continuing the infrared lamp development for 2 minutes rather than the 1 minute recommended previously raises the background fog level to 0.32 units of density and as the infrared development is continued for a period of 5 minutes the background fog level rises above a density of 1.5 making the result effectively useless under such exposure conditions for practical purposes.
  • the relative proportions of N-vinyl compound to organic halogen compound should be between 5 and 0.5 part by weight of N-vinyl compound for each part by weight of organic halogen compound; the amount of organic sulfur containing compound should be between about 2.5 and 100 parts by weight for each 1000 parts by weight of organic halogen compound; and when present, the aryl Group Vb compound should be between 5 and 50 parts by weight for each 1000 parts by weight of organic halogen compound.
  • a photosensitive composition comprising:
  • a photographic film comprising a composition according to claim 1 coated on a support.
  • composition according to claim 1 dispersed uniformly throughout a support.
  • N-vinyl compound is N-vinyl carbazole.
  • composition according to claim 5 wherein the organic halogen compound is a halogen containing hydrocarbon.
  • composition according to claim 5 wherein the organic sulfur compound is a mercapto compound.
  • composition according to claim 7 wherein the mercapto compound is a mercapto benzothiazole.
  • composition of claim 1 containing in addition a triaryl compound selected from the group consisting of triphenylstibine, triphenylbismuthine, triphenylarsine and triphenylphosphine as an antifoggant.
  • a triaryl compound selected from the group consisting of triphenylstibine, triphenylbismuthine, triphenylarsine and triphenylphosphine as an antifoggant.
  • a method of photographically producing a visible image which comprises preparing a film containing the composition of claim 1, photographically exposing the film to light thereby producing a latent image in said film, and developing a visible image thereof by applying thermal radiation to said latent image bearing film whereby said visible image is simultaneously developed and fixed.
