Abstract
Abstract Photopolymerizable recording materials which are suitable for the production of photoresist layers, and contain one or more thermoplastic vinyl polymers as the binder, one or more low molecular weight, ethylenically unsaturated, photopolymerizable compounds and one or more photoinitiators, with or without other, conventional additives and/or assistants, have excellent adhesion to metallic substrate surfaces if the binder employed is a vinyl polymer which possesses amino and/or imino groups.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A dry film resist which comprises a temporary, dimensionally stable base and a dry, photosensitive layer which is solid at room temperature and consists of a photopolymerizable recording material consisting essentially of a mixture which is soluble or at least dispersible in an organic solvent and contains (a) at least one thermoplastic vinyl polymer as the binder, which polymer contains from 0.05 to 3% by weight, based on said polymer, of amino and/or imino group-containing comonomer units, (b) at least one low molecular weight, ethylenically unsaturated, photopolymerizable compound which is compatible with the binder (a) and (c) at least one photopolymerization initiator.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A dry film resist which comprises a temporary, dimensionally stable base and a dry, photosensitive layer which is solid at room temperature and consists of a photopolymerizable recording material consisting essentially of a mixture which is soluble or at least dispersible in an organic solvent and contains (a) at least one thermoplastic vinyl polymer as the binder, which polymer contains from 0.05 to 3% by weight, based on said polymer, of amino and/or imino group-containing comonomer units, (b) at least one low molecular weight, ethylenically unsaturated, photopolymerizable compound which is compatible with the binder (a) and (c) at least one photopolymerization initiator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
145 words
A dry film resist which comprises: (1) a temporary, dimensionally stable base; (2) a dry, photosensitive layer which is solid at room temperature, and (3) a cover sheet applied to that surface of the photosensitive layer which faces away from the temporary base (1), the adhesion of this sheet to the photosensitive layer being less than that of the temporary base to said layer, said photosensitive layer (2) constituting photopolymerizable recording material consisting essentially of a mixture which is soluble or at least dispersible in an organic solvent and contains (a) at least one thermoplastic vinyl polymer as the binder which polymer contains from 0.05 to 3% by weight, based on said polymer of amino and/or imino group-containing comonomer units, (b) at least one low molecular weight ethylenically unsaturated, photopolymerizable compound which is compatible with the binder (a), and (c) at least one photopolymerizable initiator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
145 words
A dry film resist which comprises: (1) a temporary, dimensionally stable base; (2) a dry, photosensitive layer which is solid at room temperature, and (3) a cover sheet applied to that surface of the photosensitive layer which faces away from the temporary base (1), the adhesion of this sheet to the photosensitive layer being less than that of the temporary base to said layer, said photosensitive layer (2) constituting photopolymerizable recording material consisting essentially of a mixture which is soluble or at least dispersible in an organic solvent and contains (a) at least one thermoplastic vinyl polymer as the binder which polymer contains from 0.05 to 3% by weight, based on said polymer of amino and/or imino group-containing comonomer units, (b) at least one low molecular weight ethylenically unsaturated, photopolymerizable compound which is compatible with the binder (a), and (c) at least one photopolymerizable initiator.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A dry film resist as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the vinyl polymer which possesses amino and/or imino groups is an acrylate polymer or methacrylate polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
116 words
A dry film resist as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the vinyl polymer which possesses amino and/or imino groups is a copolymer of a vinyl monomer, in particular an acrylate and/or methacrylate, with a comonomer of the formula (I) ##STR4## where X is oxygen or NR 4 , R 1 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, R 2 and R 3 are identical or different and are each alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or R 2 and R 3 together with N form a heterocyclic ring having from 4 to 8 members, R 4 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 1 to 20.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
121 words
A dry film resist as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the vinyl polymer which possesses amino and/or imino groups is prepared by reacting a vinyl polymer, which possesses reactive groups, with a compound of the formula (II) or (III) ##STR5## where R 5 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R 6 and R 7 , or R 8 and R 9 , are identical or different, and are each alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or R 6 and R 7 , or R 8 and R 9 , together with N form a heterocyclic ring which has from 4 to 8 members, and p and q are each integers from 1 to 20.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
46 words
A dry film resist as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the vinyl polymer which possesses amino and/or imino groups additionally contains free acidic groups, in particular --COOH groups, in an amount of from 0.01 to 20% by weight, based on the total binder (a).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
52 words
A dry film resist as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the binder component (a) contains, in addition to the vinyl polymer which possesses amino and/or imino groups, a vinyl polymer possessing free carboxyl groups in an amount of from 0.01 to 20% by weight, based on the total binder (a).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
