Photopolymers which are derivatives of polyvinyl alcohol and are useful as resists, stencils and relief images are made by reacting a compound having one or two formyl or acetal groups, such as terephthaldehyde, a naphthalene dialdehyde or the reaction product of an acetal and hydroxy-benzaldehyde, with an aromatic or heterocyclic compound carrying an acetyl group, so as to produce an intermediate of the formula: Y[(CH2)nO]mZCHCHCOX (2) and reacting this with a polyvinyl alcohol to yield a photosensitive product of the formula: <IMAGE> (1) wherein m is 0 or 1, n is an integer from 1 to 6, X is an aromatic or heterocyclic group carrying at least one polar group and Z is an aromatic group of the formula: <IMAGE> wherein R' and R'', when both are present, are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen or a halogen atom or an alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxy, nitro or cyano group. |
