Abstract:
Thermally developable photothermographic materials comprise a backside layer that includes a backside stabilizer to reduce fog formation in high humidity conditions, thereby providing improved shelf stability. Useful backside stabilizers include an amine organic base whose conjugate acid has a pKa greater than 5. These backside stabilizers can be provided particularly in non-photosensitive compositions that include an antihalation composition.
Abstract:
Use of a combination of a trisphenol reducing agent (developer) and a substituted olefinic co-developer in photothermographic materials reduces their sensitivity to high humidity and improves processing latitude.

A thermal-dye-bleach construction comprising a polymethine dye having a nucleus of general formula I: ##STR1## in association with a thermal-carbanion-generating agent having the general formula: ##STR2## wherein the substituents are as defined in the specification and claims.
Abstract:
Photothermographic materials contain one or more blocked aliphatic thiol compounds in an amount of at least 1 mg/m2 as stabilizers. These compounds have a calculated octanol-water partition coefficient (c log P value) of 2.0 or greater, and an N value equal to or greater than 6.5.

Abstract:
A thermal-dye-bleach construction comprising a dye in association with a thermal dye-bleaching agent of general formula I: ##STR1## wherein: each of R.sup.a and R.sup.b are individually selected from: hydrogen, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aralkyl group, an aryl group, and a heterocyclic group, and preferably, both R.sup.a and R.sup.b represent hydrogen;p is one or two, and when p is one, Z is a monovalent group selected from: an akyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aralkyl group, an aryl group, and a heterocyclic group, and when p is two, Z is a divalent group selected from: an alkylene group, an arylene group, an alkenylene group, an alkynylene group, an aralkylene group, a cycloalkene group, and a heterocyclic group; and,M.sup.+ is a cation which will not react with a carbanion generated from the thermal-carbanion-generating agent in such manner as to render the carbanion ineffective as a bleaching agent for the dye.

Abstract:
Photothermographic materials provide images having improved image stability due to the presence of certain image stabilizing compounds in a silver-containing layer. These image stabilizing compounds are fluorenone, fluorene, coumarin, naphthalic acid imide, pyrazoline, or anthracene compounds. In particular, they reduce image browning that may occur from the presence of various components in the materials.
Abstract:
1-Sulfonyl-1H-benzotriazole compounds have been found to be useful as antifoggants and print stabilizers in photothermographic elements. The photothermographic elements may be used in medical imaging films or as a photomask in a process where there is a subsequent exposure of an ultraviolet or short wavelength visible radiation-sensitive imageable medium.
Abstract:
Thermally developable photothermographic materials comprise a backside layer that includes a backside stabilizer to reduce fog formation in high humidity conditions, thereby providing improved shelf stability. Useful backside stabilizers are nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds. These backside stabilizers can be provided particularly in non-photosensitive compositions that include an antihalation composition.
