Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a photosensitive composition suitable for the use in the preparation of a photosensitive lithographic plate. The photosensitive composition comprises (1) a polymer having a maleimido group in its side chain and being capable of being photocrosslinked, such as a copolymer of methyl methacrylate/N-[2-(methacryloyloxy)-ethyl]-2,3-dimethylmaleimide/methacrylic acid=15/65/20 (weight ratio) and (2) a diazo resin such as dodecylbenzenesulfonate of condensate of p-diazodiphenylamine and formaldehyde.
