Abstract

A new photopolymerizable composition which contains an addition polymerizable monomer, a photoinitiator, and an improved binding agent which is a polymer of three types of monomeric materials, namely, a styrene-type monomer, an acrylate monomer, and an alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxyl-containing monomer. These compositions are useful for flexible photopolymerizable films which, after exposure, may be developed in aqueous alkaline solutions. These films may be used as photo-resists, screen stencils and printing plates.
