Abstract: A new class of sulfonated 2-(2'-hydroxyaryl)-2H-benzotriazole compounds and method for using them and other sulfonated hydroxyaryl benzotriazoles on nylon fibers to improve stain resistance and dye lightfastness has been discovered. A process is provided for improving stain resistance of nylon fibers by treatment with sulfonated aromatic-formaldehyde condensate and fluorinated dry soil resist agents.

Abstract: Actinic (deep ultraviolet, ultraviolet and visible) light sensitive positive photoresist compositions containing a mixture of an alkali-insoluble photoactive compound capable of being transformed into an alkali-soluble species upon exposure to actinic radiation, in an amount sufficient to render the mixture relatively alkali insoluble and a polymer comprising an amount of CO--NH--CO groups, such as maleimide and especially maleimide--substituted styrene copolymers, sufficient to render the mixture readily alkali soluble upon exposure to actinic radiation are disclosed. The preferred copolymers include maleimide/styrene or .alpha.-methylstyrene in a 1:1 molar ratio. The preferred methylstyrene in a 1:1 molar ratio. The preferred photoactive compound suitable for a positive photoresist composition responsive to deep UV actinic radiation has the formula 18-B in Table I.

Abstract: Disclosed are substituted derivatives of 5-diazobarbituric acid selected from those having the formulas: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are substituents selected from the group consisting of C.sub.3 to C.sub.12 alkyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl and C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 aralkyl groups, wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are substituents selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 alkyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl or other C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 aralkyl groups and R.sub.5 is selected from the group consisting of .alpha.,.omega.-disubstituted C.sub.2 to C.sub.12 alkyl, methylene dicyclohexyl, or C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 dialkylphenylene.These compounds provide DUV response with an absorption maximum near 260 nm. The substituents are chosen to be nonabsorbing alkyl groups that allow efficient photobleaching of the sensitizer during exposure.The sensitizers of the present invention are designed to function in the DUV region and are useful in the manufacture of semi-conductor devices.

Abstract: An etchable electrophotographic printing plate comprising a coating on a surface of an electroconductive support such as grained, anodized aluminum of effective amounts of photoconductive ZnO and of a sensitizing dye dispersed in an organic resin binder comprised of about 60-90 wt. % of C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkenyl C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 alkanoate, about 5-30 wt. % of di(C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl) C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alkenedionate, about 2-8 wt. % of C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 alkenoic acid or C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alkenedioic acid, and about 0.5-5.0 wt. % of a cross-linking agent. The preferred thermally cross-linkable organic resin binder is a random copolymer of 70 wt. % vinyl acetate, 24 wt. % dibutyl maleate; 5 wt. % acrylic acid and 1 wt. % glycidyl methacrylate. The etchable printing plate of the present invention is environmentally safe, has excellent shelf life and high sensitivity to actinic radiation.

Abstract: Electrophotographic compositions containing zinc oxide dispersed in a certain resin binder mixture and sensitized with a cyanine dye having a particular structure provide high sensitivity in the 780-840 nm wavelength range, excellent thermal stability, long dark decay time and near-white appearance. The compositions are particularly useful for non-transfer electrophotography and for electrostatic printing applications.
