Image Forming Solution

Subsequently, an improved method based on TPX materials is described (26). A starting polymer of TPX having an intrinsic viscosity of 9.38 dl g 1 and a melting point of 237°C as measured with a differential scanning calorimeter was degraded in the presence of dicumyl peroxide. The degraded polymer had an intrinsic viscosity of 1.17 dl g 1 and a melting point of 212-220°C. 

The positive image so formed had a pattern width of 0.5 p and a y-value of 5. Thus, the degraded polymer was found to achieve an approximately equal resolution at a lower exposure dose, as compared with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) known as a conventional image forming material (26).

Tani [90] has examined the properties of silver clusters by means of redox buffer solutions, and showed that the oxidation potential of latent images formed by sulfur-plus-gold sensitization was much more positive than for those formed in unsensitized, sulfur-sensitized, reduction-sensitized, and iridium-sensitized emulsions. The oxidation potential of fog centers with excessive sulfur sensitization was much more positive than that of fog centers with excessive reduction sensitization. In general this reflects the relative ease of bleaching of silver centers compared with silver sulfide centers. 

Ky 6-h exposure, 127 xm of aluminum covered half the exposed area, absorbing nearly all the image-forming x-rays. L, linen treated in 10 M Fe and dried 15 min in x-ray beam, M, same as L except no treatment in Fe solution. N, no iron pretreat-nient scorched by heating at 195 °C for 30 min. O, pretreated for 1 min. in 10 M Fe + solution scorched along side of specimen N for 30 min at 195 °C. 

This equation has the same form as that obtained for solid diffusion control with D replaced by the equivalent concentration-dependent diffusivity Dp = epDp,/[ppn)K,(l - n,/nif. Numerical results for the case of adsorption on an initially clean particle are given in Fig. 16-18 for different values of X = n1/n = 1 - R. The upt e curves become increasingly steeper, as the nonlinearity of the isotherm, measured by the parameter X, increases. The desorption curve shown for a particle with nf/n) = 0.9 shows that for the same step in concentration, adsorption occurs much more quickly than desorption. This difference, however, becomes smaller as the value of X is reduced, and in the linear region of the adsorption isotherm (X —> 0), adsorption and desorption curves are mirror images. The solution in Fig. 16-18 is applicable to a nonzero initial adsorbent loading by redefining X as (n, - - ng)... 

Optical activity is, however, also shown in solution. It is due to molecules which themselves lack a plane of symmetry. In virtue of this lack they cannot be brought into coincidence with their own mirror images, any more than right-handed and left-handed helices can be superposed. They have in fact the same geometrical property as the helical media in causing a selective retardation of one of the two circular vibrations, each of the mirror image forms retarding a different component of the wave.
