Abstract
This invention provides an imageable element comprising a substrate having on at least one major surface thereof a layer of energy-sensitive material that is capable of being developed to form a relief image upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the ultraviolet-visible-infrared range (i.e., a wavelength ranging from 150 to 1500 nm). This invention also provides methods for imaging the imageable elements of this invention. The energy-sensitive materials suitable for this invention comprise polymers containing azido groups.
