| 摘要 |
The present invention provides an infrared-sensitive composition including an initiator system comprising: (a) an infrared absorbing compound; (b) a radical producing compound; and (c) a carboxylic acid co-initiator compound. In some embodiments of the invention, the co-initiator is a monocarboxylic acid. In other embodiments of the present invention, the co-initiator is a polycarboxylic acid. The infrared-sensitive composition further includes a polymeric binder and a free radical polymerizable system consisting of at least one member selected from unsaturated free radical polymerizable monomers, oligomers which are free radical polymerizable, and polymers containing C=C bonds in the back bone and/or in the side chain groups. In some embodiments of the present invention, the acid number of the polymeric binder is 70 mg KOH/g or less. The present invention further provides a printing plate precursor, a process for preparing the printing plate and a method of producing an image.
