Abstract: A sheet or foil comprises a layer unit, divided into at least two layers: a layer A, being a layer of parylene and a layer B, wherein layer B, optionally present at both sides of layer A, is characterized in that it comprises an organic coating having at least one phosphoric acid ester compound.

Abstract: In a method of consecutively manufacturing a set of at least 5 storage phosphor plates by a vapor deposition process in one and the same vapor deposition apparatus, in said apparatus, before starting each vaporization, refractory material surfaces are brought into contact, in a crucible unit thereof, with liquefied raw materials of a matrix component and an activator component, a phosphor precursor component or a combination thereof, wherein deviations in speed from one plate to another within said set of storage phosphor plates are less than 15%, said deviations being expressed as a variation coefficient defined by following formula (SAL % dev/SAL % av)×100, provided that SAL % av stands for an averaged speed within average speeds over each of said storage phosphor plate surfaces within said set and that SAL % dev stands for a standard deviation of averaged speeds obtained from each phosphor plate within said set, wherein a step of increasing said refractory material surfaces is included by adding to said cr

Abstract: A radiation image storage panel. The panel has a supported layer of storage phosphor particles dispersed in a binding medium, and adjacent thereto, between the layer and a support having reflective properties, a layer arrangement of intermediate layers inbetween the layer and the support. The layer arrangement consists of an antihalation undercoat layer containing one or more dye(s), the layer being situated more close to the support, and an adhesion improving layer situated more close to the layer of storage phosphor particles, and wherein the adhesion improving layer is hardened to a lesser extent than the antihalation undercoat layer.
