The element consists of a base, a thin layer of metal or a metal compound, and a photosensitive layer. The latter contains a polymeric binder and a photosensitising material, selected from benzophenone, a quinone, diazonium or amido compound. Said layer also has the property of reducing the interface adhesion between the metal layer and the photosensitive layer after exposure. By means of this element it is possible, by exposing and peeling off the photosensitive layer, to produce an image pattern made of metal or a metal compound. |
