Estimating the term…
A multilayer image-forming material which comprises an organic sulfur compound and a metal capable of interreacting upon irradiation with electromagnetic radiation to form an interreaction product or products (hereinafter product and products will simply termed "product"). When the image-forming material is imagewise irradiated with electromagnetic radiation, an interreaction product of the organic sulfur compound and the metal is formed in the irradiated portions of the material, and the physical, chemical and pysico-chemical properties of the thus formed interreaction product are different from those of the respective organic sulfur compound and metal in the non-irradiated portions. Utilizing this difference in properties, the present image-forming material is useful for various applications.
A process for forming an image on a multilayer image-forming material which consists of imagewise irradiating with electromagnetic radiation a multilayer image-forming material which comprises a layer of an organic sulfur compound and a layer of a metal capable of forming an interreaction product with said sulfur compound upon said irradiation with electromagnetic radiation, said sulfur compound being selected from the group consisting of:
A process for forming an image on a multilayer image-forming material which consists of imagewise irradiating with electromagnetic radiation a multilayer image-forming material which comprises a layer of an organic sulfur compound selected from (1) a dithiocarbamate compound having the general formula ##STR9## wherein R and R.sup.1 each is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group, or R and R.sup.1 can combine to form a 5- or 6-membered ring and wherein M is a metal atom, said metal atom being selected from the group consisting of copper, silver, gold, tin, zinc, sodium, iron, selenium and tellurium;
