  • Patent number: 4751165
    Abstract: An imaging sheet useful in forming images on plain paper, said sheet comprising a support having a plurality of photosensitive microcapsules and a developer-containing resin on the surface thereof, said microcapsules and said developer-containing resin being present in the same layer or in contiguous layers on the surface of said support, said microcapsules containing an internal phase which includes a photosensitive composition which changes in viscosity in response to exposure to actinic radiation and a color former which is capable of reacting with said developer and forming a visible dye image, said imaging sheet being useful in forming images by a process which comprises image-wise exposing said imaging sheet to actinic radiation, assembling said imaging sheet with a sheet of plain paper, heating said assembly, subjecting the assembly to a uniform rupture and transfer force, and separating said imaging sheet from said paper such that said image areas are area-wise transferred to said plain paper.

  • Patent number: 4751102
    Abstract: The present invention provides radiation-curable ink compositions comprising pigment and a photohardenable composition; the photohardenable composition comprises a free radical addition polymerizable or crosslinkable compound and an ionic dye-reactive counter ion compound which is capable of absorbing actinic radiation and producing free radicals which initiate free radical polymerization or crosslinking of the polymerizable or crosslinkable compound.

  • Patent number: 4720910
    Abstract: A method for preparing a cathode material is provided. An insertion compound is ground until small particles of the insertion compound are formed. The insertion compound particles are encapsulated in an electronic and ionic conducting polymer to form the cathode material by using a spray dryer.

  • Patent number: 4713312
    Abstract: Imaging systems employing photosensitive microcapsules having improved film speed are disclosed wherein the microcapsules contain a photosensitive composition in which the photoinitiator system includes a photobleachable sensitizer such as a 3-substituted coumarin compound; the invention is particularly useful in providing self-contained imaging systems which are sensitive at 390-500 nm but which can be photobleached to reduce background yellow; an imaging process including a photobleaching step following exposure and development is also disclosed.
