Detailed Description
A water-soluble, thermally crosslinked multipolymer comprising the structure:
-A-B-C-D-
a represents a styrene copolymer unit;
B represents an ethyl (meth) acrylate copolymer unit;
c represents a copolymerized unit having a urethanized unsaturated double bond branch:
R 1 is H atom or methyl, R 2 is CH 2=C(CH3) COOCH2CH2 NCO-group;
d represents an acrylamide copolymerized unit containing an alkyl sulfonate group:
Wherein n is an integer of 0 to 8, R is an alkyl group or an aryl group having 3 to 18 carbon atoms, and M is an alkali metal element.
In the water-soluble thermal crosslinking multipolymer, the styrene structural unit A has good thermoplasticity and moderate glass transition temperature, and is used as an adhesive with the characteristic of being heated and melted, so that the graph-text of a visible heat part can be firmly combined with a plate base, and the ink-philic performance of the graph-text part is enhanced. The amount of styrene in the water-soluble, thermally crosslinked, multipolymer directly affects the glass transition temperature and the thermoplasticity of the polymer. In the invention, the weight percentage of the styrene copolymer unit A in the water-soluble heat-crosslinking multipolymer is 20-70%, and the weight percentage is preferably 30-70%, 30-60%, 40-60% and 50-60% in sequence.
In the water-soluble thermal crosslinking multipolymer, the (methyl) ethyl acrylate copolymerization unit B and common polymerization and copolymerization monomers can be used for manufacturing polymers and multipolymers, synthetic resins, adhesives, coatings, fiber treating agents and intermediates of molding materials, and can effectively improve and improve the flexibility and toughness of the multipolymer. The content of the (meth) acrylic acid ethyl ester copolymer unit B in the water-soluble heat-crosslinking multi-polymer is 1% to 40% by weight, preferably 1% to 30% by weight, more preferably 1% to 25% by weight.
In the water-soluble heat-crosslinking multipolymer, the branched chain copolymerization unit C with urethanized unsaturated double bonds, unsaturated group grease thereof is crosslinked with the multi-functionality prepolymer under the action of light or heat to form a three-dimensional crosslinking structure, so that the coating can be converted from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, and plate imaging printing can be realized. In addition, polyurethane elastomers have very high abrasion resistance due to the inclusion of highly polar urethane linkages, known as "abrasion resistant king" resins, and therefore we have incorporated highly polar urethane linkages into water-soluble, thermally crosslinked, multi-component copolymers. The emulsion particles have better elasticity and more wear resistance after the urethane bonds with strong polarity are introduced. Meanwhile, the adhesive containing the strong polar urethane bond has strong adsorption effect on the aluminum plate base, and can improve the printing performance of the plate. In addition, the binder containing the polyurethane structure is better than the polyurethane prepolymer, and the plate is not easy to appear pepper points caused by the solubility difference of film forming components.
The water-soluble heat-crosslinking multipolymer of the invention is designed with a copolymerized unit C of urethanized unsaturated double bond branched chains, and the structure is as follows:
R 1 is H atom or methyl, R 2 is CH 2=C(CH3)COOCH2CH2 NHCO-group. The monomers used for copolymerization to form the copolymerized units C can be of the formula:

The urethanized unsaturated double bond branched chain copolymerization units C1 and C2 in the water-soluble heat-crosslinking multipolymer are sold in industrial products, can be conveniently purchased, and can also be synthesized in batches in a laboratory.
The acrylamide copolymerized unit D containing sulfonic acid alkyl in the water-soluble heat-crosslinking multipolymer is generated by an amphiphilic polymerizable monomer when the water-soluble heat-crosslinking multipolymer is prepared. Wherein n is an integer of 0 to 8, R is an alkyl group or an aryl group having 3 to 18 carbon atoms, and M is an alkali metal element.

In some embodiments, the infrared radiation sensitive imageable layer comprises two or more radically polymerizable components that have different numbers of radically polymerizable groups in each molecule.
Useful free radically polymerizable components can contain one or more free radically polymerizable monomers or oligomers having one or more ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable or crosslinkable groups that can be polymerized or crosslinked by free radical initiation. Thus, suitable polymerizable or cross-linked ethylenically unsaturated compounds include ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers having one or more polymerizable groups, including unsaturated esters of alcohols, such as (meth) acrylates of polyols. Oligomers and/or prepolymers, such as urethane (meth) acrylates, may also be used.

The polymerizable/crosslinkable component comprises from 10 to 70%, preferably from 20 to 50% of the solids content of the imaging layer of the lithographic printing plate according to the invention.
The imageable layer includes one or more infrared radiation absorbers which may be a cyanine dye that is sensitive to near infrared radiation or infrared radiation having a wavelength of 750-1200 nm, the cyanine dye containing a variable color group and polymerizable/crosslinkable unsaturated double bonds.

In some embodiments, the secondary multipolymer is more hydrophilic than the primary multipolymer. Examples of such hydrophilic secondary multi-polymers include, but are not limited to, cellulose derivatives, such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose; and polyvinyl alcohols having various degrees of saponification.
Additionally, pigments/dyes and color developers may be included in the imageable layer as known in the art. Useful pigments/dyes include, but are not limited to, phthalides and fluoran leuco dyes containing a lactone backbone having acid dissociating properties, and the like.
The imageable layer of the lithographic plates of the present invention can also contain various materials in combination with the necessary components of the present invention. For example, pigments, organic or inorganic particles, sensitized dyes, wetting agents, plasticizers, binders, surfactants, antioxidants, co-coaters, anti-stabilizers, brighteners, etc., can be used in the present invention without affecting its properties, or any other additives commonly used in the lithographic arts in conventional amounts.
Protective layer
In some embodiments, the negative-working lithographic printing plate precursor does not have an outermost layer disposed on the imageable layer, but it is possible that the precursor may be designed with a hydrophilic protective layer (or oxygen barrier layer or overcoat) disposed directly on the imageable layer (no intermediate layer between the two layers). Such precursors may be developed on-press, and off-press using any suitable developer as described below.
The protective layer can prevent and hinder low molecular compounds such as oxygen and alkaline substances in the atmosphere from being mixed into the photosensitive layer, and influence the image forming reaction in the photosensitive layer caused by exposure. Therefore, the protective layer is required to have low penetrability of a low molecular compound such as oxygen, substantially not to block light transmission used for exposure, and good adhesion to a photosensitive layer, and to be easily removable in on-press development of a plate. In addition, other properties may be imparted to the protective layer. For example, by adding a colorant (water-soluble dye or the like) which is excellent in light transmittance at 780 to 850nm and can efficiently absorb light out of the 780 to 850nm range, plate making safety of a lithographic plate under white light can be improved without causing a decrease in sensitivity.
Among materials that can be used for the protective layer, for example, water-soluble polymer compounds having good crystallinity are preferably used, and concretely, water-soluble polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, acid celluloses, gelatin, gum arabic, and polyacrylic acid are known, and among these, when polyvinyl alcohol is used as a main component, the best results are obtained with respect to basic properties such as oxygen barrier property and development removability. The polyvinyl alcohol used in the protective layer may contain an unsubstituted vinyl alcohol unit in an amount sufficient to provide the desired oxygen barrier properties and water solubility, and some of them may be substituted with esters, ethers and acetals. In addition, some of them may have other copolymerization components as well. As concrete examples of polyvinyl alcohol, compounds having a molecular weight of 300 to 2400 and having 71 to 100% hydrolysis can be exemplified. Specific examples are: PVA-105, PVA-110, PVA-117H, PVA-120, PVA-124H, PVA-CS, PVA-CST, PVA-HC. PVA-203, PVA-204, PVA-205, PVA-210, etc.
The composition (PVA selection, use of additives), coating amount, and the like of the protective layer are selected in consideration of the fog resistance, adhesion, and scratch resistance in addition to the oxygen blocking property and the development removability. In general, the higher the hydrolysis rate of PVA used (the higher the content of unsubstituted vinyl alcohol units in the protective layer), the thicker the film thickness, and the higher the oxygen barrier property, which is advantageous in terms of photosensitivity. In addition, adhesion to an image portion and scratch resistance are very important in handling of a printing plate. That is, if a hydrophilic layer made of a water-soluble polymer is laminated on a lipophilic polymer layer, film peeling due to insufficient adhesion is likely to occur, and defects such as poor film curing due to polymerization inhibition by oxygen are likely to occur in the peeled portion.
When present, the protective layer typically has a dry coating weight of 0.l-4 g/m 2, preferably 0.2-2.0g/m 2. In some embodiments the dry coating weight is 0.l-0.9 g/m 2 so that the hydrophilic protective layer is relatively thin for easy removal during off-line development or on-press development.
Plate base
The substrate present in the precursor typically has a hydrophilic surface, or at least a surface that is more hydrophilic than the infrared radiation sensitive imageable layer applied on the imaging side of the substrate. The substrate comprises a support, which may be composed of any material conventionally used for preparing lithographic printing plate precursors.
A useful substrate consists of an aluminum support, which is a high purity aluminum plate, preferably having an aluminum content of greater than 99%. The aluminum support may be treated using techniques known in the art, including roughening of some type by physical (mechanical), electrochemical or chemical graining, typically followed by anodization. The electrolyte used for electrolytic roughening may be an aqueous solution of an acid, a base or a salt or an aqueous solution containing an organic solvent. Among them, aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid or salts thereof are preferable as the electrolyte. Anodization is typically performed using phosphoric or sulfuric acid and conventional procedures.
Firstly, the aluminum plate is put into 1 to 30 percent aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate and the like, and chemical corrosion is carried out for 5 to 250 seconds at the temperature of 20 to 80 ℃. Then neutralizing in 10-30% nitric acid or sulfuric acid at 20-70 deg.c to eliminate ash. The aluminum plate after the cleaning treatment is electrolyzed in the electrolyte of nitric acid or hydrochloric acid for 10 to 300 seconds at the current density of 5 to 100A/dm 2 by rectangular waves, table waves or sine waves with alternately changed positive and negative polarities at the temperature of 10 to 60 ℃. Then, the electrolytic aluminum plate is subjected to anodic oxidation treatment. Anodic oxidation is generally carried out by the sulfuric acid method. The concentration of sulfuric acid is 5-30%, the current density is 1-15A/dm 2, the oxidation temperature is 20-60 ℃, and the oxidation time is 5-250 seconds, so that an oxide film of 1-10 g/m 2 is formed. The oxide film formed in this way has high oxide film micropores, high adsorption capacity and easy dirt adhesion. It is also generally necessary to carry out a sealing treatment. The sealing treatment may be carried out by various methods, and it is preferable to seal 50 to 80% by volume of the micropores of the oxide film. The anodized aluminum support may be further treated to seal the oxide pores and render its surface hydrophilic using known post-anodizing (post-anodic treatment) (PAT) processes, such as treatment in aqueous solutions of poly (vinyl phosphonic acid) (PVPA), vinyl phosphonic acid copolymers, poly (meth) acrylic acid), or acrylic acid copolymers, mixtures of phosphates and fluoride salts, or sodium silicate.
The solution used for the sealing treatment of the plate base of the lithographic plate of the present invention is preferably an aqueous solution containing fluoride ions and phosphate.
The lithographic plates of the present invention can be prepared by applying an imageable layer to the hydrophilic surface of a lithographic substrate by conventional techniques. The imageable layer can be applied by any suitable method such as coating or lamination.
Typically, the components of the imageable layer are dispersed or dissolved in a suitable coating solvent. Such as water, water and organic solvents. Such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and/or mixtures of acetone. Surfactants, such as fluorinated surfactants or polyethoxylated dimethylpolysiloxane copolymers, or mixtures of surfactants, may be present to aid in the dispersion of the other ingredients in the coating solvent. The resulting mixture is applied to a lithographic substrate by conventional methods such as spin coating, bar coating, gravure coating, extrusion plate coating (die coating), slot coating or roll coating. After coating, the imageable layer is dried to evaporate the solvent. The imageable layer can be air-dried at room temperature or at an elevated temperature, such as in an oven. Alternatively, the imageable layer can be dried by blowing warm air over the imageable element.
After the application of the imageable layer, a protective layer may also be applied over this layer.
After the negative-working lithographic printing plate precursor of the present invention is made, the relief image is given by imagewise exposure of the digital data with a laser, as opposed to the master. As a preferable exposure light source, for example, a solid-state laser and a semiconductor laser which radiate infrared rays of 780 to 850nm, the infrared laser used in the present invention is preferably a laser capable of outputting 100mW or more, and the exposure time per pixel is preferably not longer than 20 microseconds. The radiation energy is preferably 10-300 mj/cm 2.
After imagewise exposing the lithographic printing plate precursor of the invention, printing is performed by supplying printing ink and dampening solution without receiving a development process. Specifically, a lithographic printing plate precursor is image-wise exposed with a laser beam, then a coating layer of a blank area is removed on a printing machine by supplying a printing ink and a dampening solution, a printing ink-philic portion having an ink-philic surface is formed on an exposed portion of the image recording layer by exposure of the hardened image recording layer, the unhardened image recording layer is made porous by the dampening solution supplied, and then removed by sticking off the printing ink to transfer to a paper, and a hydrophilic surface is exposed at the unexposed portion, to prepare a lithographic printing plate that can be printed. Subsequently, the dampening solution adheres to the exposed hydrophilic surface and the printing ink adheres to the image recording layer of the exposed portion, starting the printing process.
In the on-press development process, the surface of the plate material should be soaked with the fountain solution in advance, the longer the time is, the larger the fountain solution amount is, and the more favorable the removal of the coating in the blank area is. The ink is then transferred to the surface of the lithographic printing plate precursor by means of an ink roller, and the coating of the blank area is stripped off by means of the viscosity of the ink, the ink contact time being 10-30 seconds, the longer the time the more advantageous the blank area coating removal.
In some cases, the aqueous rinse may be used off-line to remove the unexposed areas to develop the imaged precursor, and in turn provide a protective layer or coating over the entire imaged and developed (rinsed) precursor printing surface. After off-line development, printing can be performed by placing the exposed and developed lithographic printing plate on a suitable press.
The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific examples, which are given herein for further illustration only and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, since numerous insubstantial modifications and adaptations thereof will now occur to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing disclosure.

description of the terminology:
Starting-up latitude: the adaptability of the machine development type printing plate to the state of the printing machine, the water quantity of the fountain solution, the water leaning time, the printing ink and the like in the developing process of the machine development type printing plate on the printing machine is high, and the large starting-up latitude of the printing plate indicates that the adaptability of the machine development type printing plate to the printing machine, the fountain solution and the printing ink is good, and the long operation space of the printing machine is large.
Number of paper passes: refers to the number of sheets lost from the start of feeding to blank cleaning and ink balance.
Solvent resistance: after coating, drying and balancing on the substrate and plate making and exposure, the coating loss is measured by soaking in a solvent such as isopropanol for a certain time. If the coating loss is large, it means that the plate material has poor solvent resistance and low UV ink durability during printing.
Preparation of a plate base: a1050 rolled aluminum plate having a diameter purity of 99.5% and a thickness of 0.3mm was etched in a 5% by mass aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at 70 O C for 20 seconds, washed with running water, and immediately neutralized with A1% by mass aqueous nitric acid solution. Then, the mixture was electrolytically roughened with a sine wave alternating current at 40 O C in a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution having a mass fraction of 1% at a current density of 40A/dm 2 for 16 seconds. Then, the mixture was neutralized with 5% by mass of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at 40 O C for 10 seconds. And (5) washing with water. Finally, the mixture was anodized with a sulfuric acid aqueous solution of 20% by mass at 30 O C for 20 seconds at a current density of 15A/dm 2. And (5) washing with water. The sealing treatment was carried out at 60℃for 20 seconds with 200ppm of sodium fluoride and a sodium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution having a mass fraction of 6%. And (5) washing with water. And (5) drying. The average thickness of the center line of the thus obtained plate was 0.40. Mu.m, and the oxide film weight was 3.0g/m 2.
Coating a photosensitive layer: the following photosensitive liquid formulation was coated on the above hydrophilized plate using a bar coater, and then dried at 100 ℃ for 60 seconds. A dry coating weight of 1.0g/m 2 was obtained, forming a negative-working lithographic printing plate precursor that was sensitive to infrared radiation. The photosensitive layer is herein the imageable layer. The following components (each component in parts by weight) were used and mixed to obtain a photosensitive liquid formulation.
