IMAGING FILM AND METHOD

摘要

A dry process, high sensitivity imaging film comprising a layer of a dispersion imaging material having a vapor deposited layer of a surface modifying substance such as an organic polymer on at least one surface thereof. A passivation layer desirably is provided on each side of the dispersion imaging material layer to shield the layer from the atmosphere. The multiple-layered structure advantageously is supported on a flexible substrate, and an abrasion resistant, protective overlayer desirably is applied to the outermost, or non-substrate contacting layer of the film.
