Abstract

Photosensitive bodies that are sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and that exhibit excellent contrast are formed from base soluble polymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) physically mixed with base insoluble materials such as o,o'-dinitrobenzyl esters. The base insoluble esters decompose upon irradiation to form base soluble entities in the irradiated regions. These irradiated portions are then soluble in basic solutions that are used to develop the desired image.
