Abstract: An electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising a photoconductive layer comprising a photoconductor, a support for the photoconductive layer and a surface layer formed on the photoconductive layer and comprising a curable resin film and an inorganic insulator pieces having a size larger than the film thickness of the curable resin film. In order to prevent the image blurring of an a-Si:H photoreceptor, on the outermost surface of the photoreceptor was formed a surface layer having a structure in which inorganic insulator pieces have protruded from the curable resin film. Since the curable resin is of high resistance and shows no quality change by corona irradiation, and besides the protruding inorganic insulator pieces prevent the abrasion of the resin, the surface layer having a long life and excellent humidity resistance, durability for corona irradiation and abrasion resistance can be realized.

A magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic disk, etc., prepared by using the magnetic paint, can have a magnetic coating film having a substantially uniform film thickness of not more than 0.9 .mu.m and a surface roughness of not more than 0.05 .mu.m Ra before surface finishing.

Abstract: A method of forming a lubricating film which comprises to apply an emulsion composed of a fluorinated polymer, a surfactant and a dispersing medium to a substrate and then dry the film, and a method of preparing a magnetic recording medium which comprises to apply the above method to a magnetic recording medium, are disclosed.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium which has a magnetic coating film that contains magnetic particles in a binder and which further has a lubricating layer formed on the magnetic coating film. The magnetic coating film has a surface that is processed with both a fluorinated surface treatment agent that bonds to the magnetic particles and a fluorinated surface treatment agent that bonds to the binder. The magnetic recording medium exhibits markedly improved sliding strength when the surface treatment agents and the lubricant have similar molecular structures. It is particularly preferred that the fundamental skeleton in the molecular structure of the surface treatment agents and the lubricant consists of a perfluoropolyether chain.

Abstract: A sufficient reproduced output can be attained even in a coating thickness of as small as 1 .mu.m, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 .mu.m with a magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate and a coating film containing magnetic powder formed on the substrate, wherein the content of the magnetic powder in the coating film is 66 to 90% by weight.

Abstract: This invention relates to a magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic recording film formed on a substrate directly or with a protective layer therebetween, characterized in that a surface treatment layer made of a reaction product of an azide compound is provided on the magnetic recording film, and preferably a lubricative material layer is further provided on the surface treatment layer. The surface treatment agent is covalently bonded to the surface of the magnetic recording film with an aid of nitrene to improve the durability of the magnetic recording film.

Abstract: A photosensitive composition turning shicky by light exposure, which comprises a salt or p-aminobenzenediazonium compound and at least one of salts of o- and m-aminobenzenediazonium compounds, has a distinguished effect in forming a phosphor screen of a color picture tube.

Abstract: A photosensitive composition becoming sticky upon exposure to light which comprises (a) a salt of a diazonium compound represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently --H, --CH.sub.3, --OCH.sub.3 or ##STR2## but R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 cannot be ##STR3## at the same time; and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently a straight-chain lower alkyl group, and (b) a salt of an aromatic diazonium compound having no --OH group directly bonding to a benzene ring, has an improved sensitivity because it contains the salt of the compound represented by the above formula. By using said photosensitive composition, there is provided a process for forming a pattern of powder coated layer excellent in light sensitivity.

Abstract: A photosensitive composition improved in sensitivity by adding a salt of a compound represented by the general formula: ##STR1## (wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each represents a straight chain alkyl group, and X, Y and Z each represents H, a straight chain alkyl group or an alkoxy group, but two or more of X, Y and Z can not be H at the same time) to an aromatic diazonium salt which gets sticky upon exposure to light.

Abstract: A process for forming a fluorescent screen, where polychroic patterns are successively formed from at least two kinds of phosphors having different color emission or black powder by means of a photosensitive substance capable of turning tacky by light irradiation, which comprises bringing a finer particulate filling material than particles of the phosphors in contact with tackified parts when or after the particles of the phosphors are applied to the tackified parts in the individual steps of forming patterns each of the individual phosphors. The filling material saturates the tackiness of the phosphor pattern in question in advance to formation of a phosphor pattern in the successive step, and a cause for contamination of the pattern of the preceding step with the phosphor of the successive step can be eliminated thereby.

Abstract: A chemically digestive agent for releasing photoresist films comprising hydrogen peroxide and sulfamic acid is particularly suitable for the production of the fluorescent screen of a black matrix color television image receiving tube in that it has a strong releasing action for various photoresist films and low corrosiveness for machinery and appliances. The addition of a fixed amount of iron ion can further improve the characteristics of the chemically digestive agent.

Abstract: The present invention affords a process for forming a pattern having a surface area substantially equal to or smaller than area of apertures of shadow-mask through which beams pass on a photoresist film, which contains an acrylamidediacetoneacrylamide copolymer and a water-soluble aromatic bisazide compound, by exposing said photoresist film to light through a mask having the pattern and then developing the film.The use of said photoresist film for the preparation of a phosphor screen of a color picture tube of a black matrix or black stripe type does not require a special technique such as post-etching of a shadow mask and makes it possible to form a three primary color phosphor pattern having a surface area substantially equal to or smaller than the area of apertures of the shadow mask through which lightbeams pass, without mutual "bridging" between phosphor dots. Thus, an excellent phosphor screen of a color picture tube of a black matrix or black stripe type can be prepared.
