Abstract: The present disclosure relates to acrylic adhesive emulsions comprising a core-shell polymeric component comprising an inner core and an outer shell containing at least one pendent functional group; a polyfunctional component capable of reacting with at least one of the pendent functional groups on the outer shell; wherein the inner core is free of functional groups reactive with the pendent functional groups on the outer shell; and wherein the pH of the emulsion is 6.5 or less; and wherein the emulsion is a fast-setting, one part, aqueous, adhesive. Bonded articles made therefrom, and methods of bonding articles using these emulsions are also disclosed.

Abstract: The use of copolymers of vinylidene chloride and vinyl pyrrolidone as selective diffusion media in dye-diffusive photothermographic imaging constructions is disclosed. Unoxidized phenolic leuco dye molecules diffuse into a film of these copolyers but do not readily diffuse out. In contrast, their oxidized dye forms, which are quinoidal in nature, readily diffuse through these interlayers resulting in improved image stability and color separation.

Abstract: Imageable articles having dye selective interlayers comprising copolymers of styrene and vinylidene chloride are disclosed. The interlayers have sufficient permeability to be useful for constructions in which cationic dyes must be prevented from diffusing away from an image receiving layer. Additionally, the selective interlayers allow unoxidized leuco dye to be diffused away from an image receiving layer, thereby increasing print stability. Use of these interlayers in multicolor dye-diffusive imaging constructions increases image stability and color density in the final image.
