Abstract: A color developing composition for pressure-sensitive recording systems comprising an admixture of an alkylidenediphenol and calcium carbonate having a weight ratio of about 2 parts to about 20 parts phenol per 100 parts calcium carbonate. The admixture is formulated in high solids content coating colors having excellent rheological property and stabilty, which are used to produce CF sheets having a coating weight of about 4 to about 10 g/m.sub.2. Preferably, the composition comprises Bisphenol A in an amount of 4 to 10 parts per 100 parts calcium carbonate and the calcium carbonate weight % in the CF coating is greater than 50%. Other embodiments comprise an aqueous dispersion of the admixture, a pressure-sensitive recording manifold and methods of making the dispersion.

Abstract: Finely divided, wet-ground, dispersant-free calcium carbonate filler or pigment compositions are disclosed in which the particles of calcium carbonate are distributed in particular amounts in a particular fashion--broadly stated: in fine particle size distribution. Such compositions are useful in aqueous slurry or dry form as opacifying fillers for paper.

Abstract: An improved photoelectrophorectic imaging process which comprises placing a suspension of double encapsulated electrically photosensitive particles in an electric field between a pair of surfaces, exposing the suspension to a pattern of electrogmagnetic radiation and separating the surfaces whereby the exposed portion of the suspension adheres to one surface and the unexposed portion adheres to the other surface. The imaging particles are comprised of a first resin which encapsulates a colorant for the particle and second resin which encapsulates the first resin and contains the electrically photosensitive material.

Abstract: Selected areas of a layer comprising an imaging material in the form of a tellurium tetrahalide adduct of an aromatic amine, exemplified by a tellurium tetrachloride adduct of dimethyl aniline, which adduct is free from any diazo groups, in the presence of a spectral photosensitizer, are subjected to the imaging effect of imaging energy, and of development, advantageously of developing energy, causing a change in the tellurium-organic imaging material in the imaged areas accompanied by a change in the detectable characteristic of the imaging material in the imaged areas. The aforesaid imaging material is especially advantageously extended in a matrix of a polymeric or resinous film-forming material. The invention in its generally most advantageous form involves an imaging step employing imaging energy and producing a latent image, followed by a heat development step to produce the detectable recorded information or image.

Abstract: Selected areas of a layer comprising a tellurium tetrahalide imaging material, exemplified by tellurium tetrachloride, are subjected to the imaging effect of imaging energy, and of developing energy causing a chemical change in the tellurium tetrahalide imaging material in the imaged areas accompanied by a change in the detectable characteristic of the imaged areas. The aforesaid imaging material is extended in a matrix of a film-forming material together with a sensitizer. The application of the energy is advantageously effected in two steps, an imaging step employing imaging energy and producing a latent image, followed by a development step employing developing energy and producing the detectable recorded information or image.
