International Classification:

G03F 7/023
G03F 7/30

US Classification:

430192, 430193, 4302701, 430326, 430905, 430906

Abstract:

Novel compositions comprising photoactive polymers comprising a dinitrobenzyl group in conjunction with a photoacid generator are disclosed. In one embodiment, the photoacid generator is a diazide and/or a sulfonyl aceto carbonyl compound. The photoacid generators are typically used in amounts of 10 weight percent or less. The compositions find particular application in storage stable, pH stable, and water stable positive photoresist compositions. Such compositions demonstrate reduced process time as compared with similar compositions lacking the photoacid generator. Methods for using these compositions are also disclosed.

RE307726, Oct 13, 1981

Filed:

Jun 2, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/155711

Inventors:

Charles B. Friedlander - Glenshaw PA
Gerald W. Gruber - Wexford PA
Rostyslaw Dowbenko - Gibsonia PA

Assignee:

PPG Industries, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

C08G 1838

US Classification:

525421

Abstract:

Radiation curable compounds are disclosed comprising an amide moiety, a urethane moiety and an ethylenically unsaturated functional group, typically an acrylate functional group. The compounds comprise the reaction products of an amide-containing compound having at least one hydroxy functional group, a polyisocyanate and a polyfunctional compound having a hydroxy functional group reactive with an isocyanato group of the polyisocyanate, which polyfunctional compound provides an ethylenic functional group in the reaction product. Coating compositions containing these radiation curable reaction products cure at relatively high rates to form films having high abrasion resistance and improved tensile strength and elongation properties as compared to conventional urethane acrylate coating compositions.
