Abstract
Polymeric azosulfonates lose their water solubility when exposed to UV light due to decomposition of the azo function. This effect can be used in water-based photoprinting processes. Water-soluble copolymers of azosulfonate containing repeat units and methyl methacrylate have been alternatively synthesized by a polymer-analogous reaction [1,2] and by direct copolymerization [3]. Both polymer types have been evaluated for application as photoresins in offset printing processes. The polymer made by copolymerization is superior and shows excellent results for photosensitivity, resolution, film-forming properties, and development in water, as well as for thermal and moisture storage stability.
