RADIATION-CURABLE COMPOSITION AND RADIATION-SENSITIVE RECORDING MATERIAL PREPARED THEREFROM FOR USE WITH HIGH-ENERGY RADIATION

摘要

A radiation-curable composition which comprises a compound that forms an acid under the action of high-energy radiation and an acid-hardening substance, wherein the compound forming an acid contains aromatically linked chlorine or bromine and has a pKa value below 12. The composition and the recording material prepared therefrom display increased sensitivity, improved resolution and a high etch resistance after development.
