摘要 |
An aqueous-developable article is made from a photoprepolymer made by reacting a maleated polyalkadienyl homo- or copolymer (e.g., polybutadiene) with an olefinically unsaturated compound capable of opening anhydride rings (e.g., hydroxyethyl methacrylate) with simultaneous chain extension using a polyalkadienyl polyol, followed by hydrolysis and neutralization with Li-, Na-, or K-containing base. When formulated with unsaturated monomers and photoinitiators, the photoprepolymer is particularly useful in making photopolymer-based flexographic printing plates. |
