Abstract

Preparation of photosensitive polyaldehydes which have the formula: ##STR1## WHEREIN R is a photosensitive end group selected from ##STR2## R.sup.1 is H or n-alkyl of 1-5 carbon atoms, preferably H, R.sup.2 is n-alkanoyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, and PA1 n is a positive integer of about 10-4000, is provided. The polyaldehydes are prepared by the anionic polymerization of the appropriate aldehyde with an initiating amount of an alkali metal or tetraalkylammonium alkoxide of RO in the above formula. The polyaldehydes are useful in articles and methods of relief imaging and in lithographic plates.
