- Field ABSTRACT The photographic response of compositions comprising mixtures of l) N-vinyl carbazole (or other N- vinyl amine) and (2) CBr, (or other organic halogen compound) to radiant energy having wavelengths longer than 4,500 A. is enhanced so as to include a response to radiant energy having wavelengths of up to about 7,000 A. by adding a slightly colored visible light sensitizer to the mixture.
- This invention relates to the polymerization of N-vinyl compounds as a result of exposure to suitable dosages of visible light. More particularly, it relates to the visible light-induced photopolymerization of N-vinyl compounds, such as N-vinyl carbazole in the presence of certain types of sensitizing agents.
- An N-vinyl amine 2.
- An organic halogen containing compound 3.
- This invention describes a means for extending the sensitivity of these systems into the visible portion of the spectrum.
- Certain colored sensitizers have been found which effectively increase the visible light sensitivity of N-vinyl carbazole to photopolymerization. These colored sensitizers are taken from the class of compounds such as carbocyanine dyes, styryl dyes and their colorless bases, polyacene compounds and the transannular peroxides of polyacene compounds.
- Some colored derivatives of vinyl carbazole made by the introduction of other aromatic moities into the vinyl carbazole molecule by substitution or by means of azo linkages to form azo dyes were also found to sensitize these photopolymer systems to visible light. These colored sensitizers include the following compounds:
- Styryl dyes and their bases 4-(p-Dimethylamino styryl)quinoline bromide
- Each of these compounds has been found to extend the sensitivity of N-vinyl carbazole well into the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- the simplest photographic system namely one containing only N-vinyl carbazole, carbon tetrabromide coated in a film-forming binder, shows sensitivity only to 4,500 A.
- When exposed to light of longer wavelengths than 4,500 A. no response is observed, that is, no imaging takes place.
- a very small quantity of one of the above colored compounds is added to this simple system photographic response is observed with light of wavelengths of 6,000, 6,500 and sometimes 7,000 A.
- the mechanism operating to produce this sensitizing effect is one in which the added color sensitizer or its oxidation product absorbs light of longer wavelength than either the N-vinyl compound, the carbon tetrabromide or any product of their combination. Whatever the mechanism it is the presence of the colored species which absorbs the longer wavelength of electromagnetic energy and transfers it to the polymer-forming reaction.
- the present process comprises applying a composition comprising an N-vinyl amine monomer, an organic halogen containing compound, and a colored sensitizer of one of the types described above as a coating to a suitable base or support, exposing the composition to a does of visible light and then heat developing the polymeric image e.g., when the exposure has been made to a pattern of light, such as is normally termed a photographic exposure) by means of infrared at l30-l 50 C.
- compositions of this invention The range of quantities for preparing compositions of this invention is widespread.
- the maximum amount of N-vinyl amine which can be present in the composition is limited only to the extent of its solubility in the coating mixture.
- the amount of the activating halogen-containing compound is also dependent to some extent upon the degree of its activity and its solubility in the coating mixture
- the resinous binder can be present in any amount which will form a continuous film and adequately protect the active ingredients of the photographic reaction. The amount necessary to fulfill this requirement will be determined by the type of resin chosen, the solvent from which it is cast, the solubility of the resin in the chosen solvent and the inherent viscosity of the resin in its ultimate viscosity in solution. If assisting addenda are used, such as the triaryl Group V compounds described in U.S.

No. 3,377,167 claiming the addition of Group V aryl compounds such as triphenylstibine, triphenylarsine, triphenylphosphine or triphenylbismuthine to such compositions, and Ser. No. 398,097, filed Sept. 21, 1964, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,342,602, claiming the use of mercaptobenzothiazole in such compositions. The disclosures in these applications are incorporated herein by reference.
The patents of Eugene Wainer noted above describe extensively the use of N-vinyl compounds for preparing polymeric images by photolysis with halogen containing hydrocarbons as the activating source of free radicals. These patents describe the use of compounds such as N-vinyl carbazole and carbon tetrabromide coated in plastic binders, dissolved in suitable organic solvents and coated on appropriate supports such as paper, glass or plastic film. The photographic systems described in the foregoing paragraphs are essentially sensitive only to ultraviolet irradiation with a tail of very low sensitivity extending in to the very early visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. If a means could be found for extending the spectral sensitivity of these photographic systems to longer wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum their usefulness as practical photographic medium would be greatly enhanced. This invention describes a means for extending the sensitivity of these systems into the visible portion of the spectrum. Certain colored sensitizers have been found which effectively increase the visible light sensitivity of N-vinyl carbazole to photopolymerization. These colored sensitizers are taken from the class of compounds such as carbocyanine dyes, styryl dyes and their colorless bases, polyacene compounds and the transannular peroxides of polyacene compounds. Some colored derivatives of vinyl carbazole made by the introduction of other aromatic moities into the vinyl carbazole molecule by substitution or by means of azo linkages to form azo dyes were also found to sensitize these photopolymer systems to visible light. These colored sensitizers include the following compounds:
1a. Azovinylcarbazoles A. 3-(2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthyl-azo)-9-vinyl carbazole JH=OH, sensitizes to 5500 A.
B. 3-(1-amino-8-hydroxy-7-naphthylazo) -9-vinyl carbazole 10 sensitizes to 5800 C. 2,7(3-bis-6-9 vinyl carbaozlyl-azo)-8-hydroxy-1 naphthyl-amino sensitizes to 6500 .3.
1b. Naphthovinylcarbazoles A. 9-vinyl(2',3:3,4)-naphthocarbazolc CH=CH1 sensitizes to 5500 B. 9-vinyl(2',3':2,3)-naphthocarbazole N l C sensitizes to 6000 A.
C. 9-vinyl(2,3 :2,3,2",3",6,7) dinaphthocarbazole sensitizes to 6500 A 3. Xanthene dyes and their leuco bases 3,6-(Tetramethyldiamino-9-p-dimethylaminophenyl) xanthylium bromide O (CHmNU D=N(CH3), Br-
4. Anthracene dyes and their leuco'bases 2,7-Bis(dimethylamino)- l O-p-dimethylaminophenyl-Q,9- dirnethylanthracene bromide CH3 CH3 {3. 1,3-dimethyloxa-2-carbocya.nine-p-toluene sulfona e C. 1,3-diethylthia-4-carbocyanine iodide D. 3,3-dimethylthiocarbocyanine-p-toluene sulfonate F. 4-[ 3- 3-ethyl-2 (3 H) benzothiazolylidene propenyl quinoline iodide 6. Styryl dyes and their bases 4-(p-Dimethylamino styryl)quinoline bromide Each of these compounds has been found to extend the sensitivity of N-vinyl carbazole well into the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Without a colored sensitizer present, the simplest photographic system, namely one containing only N-vinyl carbazole, carbon tetrabromide coated in a film-forming binder, shows sensitivity only to 4,500 A. When exposed to light of longer wavelengths than 4,500 A. no response is observed, that is, no imaging takes place. If, however, a very small quantity of one of the above colored compounds is added to this simple system photographic response is observed with light of wavelengths of 6,000, 6,500 and sometimes 7,000 A. These exposures were made with a monochromator and the exposed film was heated with infrared to make the latent image visible or to intensify any printout image which occurs on exposure.
While not wishing to be bound by any set theory, it is. proposed that the mechanism operating to produce this sensitizing effect is one in which the added color sensitizer or its oxidation product absorbs light of longer wavelength than either the N-vinyl compound, the carbon tetrabromide or any product of their combination. Whatever the mechanism it is the presence of the colored species which absorbs the longer wavelength of electromagnetic energy and transfers it to the polymer-forming reaction.
Briefly the present process comprises applying a composition comprising an N-vinyl amine monomer, an organic halogen containing compound, and a colored sensitizer of one of the types described above as a coating to a suitable base or support, exposing the composition to a does of visible light and then heat developing the polymeric image e.g., when the exposure has been made to a pattern of light, such as is normally termed a photographic exposure) by means of infrared at l30-l 50 C.
The range of quantities for preparing compositions of this invention is widespread. The maximum amount of N-vinyl amine which can be present in the composition is limited only to the extent of its solubility in the coating mixture. The amount of the activating halogen-containing compound is also dependent to some extent upon the degree of its activity and its solubility in the coating mixture The resinous binder can be present in any amount which will form a continuous film and adequately protect the active ingredients of the photographic reaction. The amount necessary to fulfill this requirement will be determined by the type of resin chosen, the solvent from which it is cast, the solubility of the resin in the chosen solvent and the inherent viscosity of the resin in its ultimate viscosity in solution. If assisting addenda are used, such as the triaryl Group V compounds described in U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 445,273, filed Apr. 2, 1965, now US. Pat. No. 3,377,167 for background cleanliness and for allowing longer and more intense heating to develop and/or intensify the image, these should be present in amounts ranging from 25 milligrams to 200 milligrams per gram of monomer depending on the particular compound and again its solubility. Other additives such as sodium iodide to give blacker images and heterocyclic compounds such as mercaptobenzothiazole to give increases in speed are frequently added in ranges described in patents and applications referenced above. Compounds such as straight chain hydrocarbons are frequently added to these coating compositions as a part of the resinous film former. These compounds are believed to lessen the rigidity of the film formed on evaporation of solvent and to allow greater mobility for the reacting radicals.
The range of addition of colored sensitizing compounds which make up the subject of this invention and make it novel over the previously described systems of limited sensitivity is much more critical than the range of the monomer and its activator described above. It is the presence of very small quantities of these sensitizing dyes that are responsible for giving the added sensitivity, and their amounts are more rigidly limited. if the added quantity is too great the sensitizers tend to color the background and some detail of the resulting image is lost in this colored background. It has been found that if the sensitizers are used in the range of 0.1 milligram to 2.0 milligrams of sensitizer per gram of monomer the maximum degree of sensitizing effect can be realized with the minimum amount of color in the background. The following examples will serve to illustrate the practice of this invention but the invention is not to be considered limited by these examples.
