No. 186,853 16 Claims. (Cl. 11736.8)
This invention relates to heat sensitive materials useful in the preparation of copies of printed or written matter, images, designs, drawings and other graphic material. More particularly, it is concerned with the preparation of thermographic or heat sensitive copying materials such as copying papers or duplicator sheets which may be utilized in the preparation of duplicate copies of printed or other graphic subject matter by exposure to heat, e.g. as infra-red irradiation, without requiring subsequent developing or fixing operations.
Thermographic copying involves intensively irradiating the printed original with radiant energy which is preferentially absorbed and converted into heat energy by the printed or image areas of the original, and utilizing the heat pattern thus formed to bring about a corresponding visible change in the heat-sensitive copying material. The method is adaptable to the reproduction of printed, typewritten, a pencilled material, sketches, and the like. The heat-sensitive copying material can also be used in heated stylus-type recording machines. The heated stylus produces a visible trace on the recording paper.
Heat-sensitive compositions suitable for use in preparing thermographic copying materials are well known in the prior art. However, these compositions all have characteristics which present disadvantages. For example, many compositions are known which are both heat and light-sensitive. If thermographic copies made on sheets sensitized with such compositions are left for a period of time near a window, a uniform coloration will appear, making the image unreadable or barely readable. Some compositions are unstable and will deteriorate even in a dark file to such extent that the image will become unreadable. Some compositions will interact with typewriter-made carbon copies, and papers sensitized with such composition, when filed with carbon copies, are likely to form an image of the carbon copy on the heat-sensitive paper. Some of these compositions require an extremely high temperature, or heating for a relatively long time at a specific temperature, or heating over a wide range of temperatures, to produce a visible image of sufficient intensity to be readily legible. Other compositions are pressure-sensitive and will form coloration showing marks or scratches produced in normal handling. Still others are unstable to premature interaction of their constituents, or are moisture-sensitive, and so have short shelf-life and must be used soon after coating.
It is the primary object of this invention to provide novel heat-sensitive compositions suitable for sensitizing sheets of paper or other material for use in facsimile copying processes or in heated stylus recording machines, which compositions are insensitive to light and moisture but which, when subjected to heat irradiation for a short period over a relatively narrow range of temperature, undergo a visible change of notable intensity. Heatsensitive compositions in accordance with the invention are characterized by good stability, freedom from interaction with typewriter carbon papers, and good shelflife. The invention provides white or colorless heatsensitive compositions that convert to dense black images; thus the final thermocopy has a black image on a white original.
This invention provides thermographic copying materials which have advantages over previously known heatsensitive copying papers in that images resulting from exposure to an original in a suitable thermographic copying apparatus are efiicient ultra-violet radiation absorbers, whereas the original or unaltered heat-sensitive composition is highly transparent to ultra-violet radiation; thus this novel copying paper can be used as a master for making diazo prints in a diazo machine. Further, the images obtained are efiicient absorbers of infra-red radiation, whereas the heat-sensitive compositions to be described are highly transparent to infra-red radiation; thus a print made on a copy sheet manufactured according to this invention can be used as an original for making additional copies on a suitable thermographic copying apparatus.
These advantages are obtained according to the principles of this invention by employing as a heat-sensitive composition an organometal compound dispersed in a film-forming binder coated on a suitable support such as paper or film, which preferably is substantially transparent to infra-red radiation. Additional components may be added to improve the contrast, color or appearance of the heat-sensitive copying sheet. The organometal compounds that are used in practicing this invention are compounds containing sulfur which decompose when heated moderately to form a metal sulfide.
The compounds used for mafing heat-sensitive compositions according to the invention are reaction products of (i) a Grignard-type organometallic compound having the structure (R) -M(X) in which R is a substituent selected from the group consisting of aryl and alkyl radicals, M is a metal of the group consisting of bismuth, chromium, gallium, germanium, iron, lead, mercury, tellurium, and tin, X is any anion substituent (e.g. carboxylate or an inorganic anion), y and z are integers, and y+z=the valence of the metal, and (ii) a sulfur compound of the group consisting of alkyl and aryl xanthates, alkyl and aryl thiuram sulfides (including thiuram disulfides), thiourea, alkyland aryl-substituted thiourea, thioamides (including thiooxarnide) and alkyland arylsubstituted thioamides (including thiooxamides). Heat sensitive compositions according to the invention are prepared by dispersing such a reaction product in a film forming binder, such for example as a vinyl or styrene polymer or a cyclized rubber dissolved in a solvent. Thermographic copying sheets are prepared by coating such composition on a suitable support such as paper or film which is substantially transparent to infra-red radiation.
The single figure of the accompanying'drawing shows schematically, in cross-section, a thermographic copying sheet comprising an infra-red transparent paper base and a heat-sensitive coating of the character herein described.
Following are type formulae of which are believed to be the-reaction products which render composition according to the invention heat-sensitive. While these type formulae are believed to represent correctly the reaction products involved, the invention is not dependent on their accuracy, and they are not to be considered as limiting the scope or" the invention.

A thermographic copying sheet comprising a base sheet of material which is substantially transparent to infra-red radiation, said sheet carrying a coating of a heat-sensitive composition comprising a film-forming binder in which there is dispersed the reaction product of (i) a Grignard-type organometallic compound having the structure (R) M-(X) in which R is a substituent selected from the group consisting of aryl and alkyl radicals, M is a metal of the group consisting of bismuth, chromium, gallium, germanium, iron, lead, mercury, tellurium and tin, X is an anion substituent, y and 1 each is an integer and y+z the valence of the metal, and (ii) a sulfur compound of the group consisting of alkyl and aryl Xanthates, alkyl and aryl thiuram sulfides, thiourea, alkyl and aryl substituted thiourea, thioamides, and alkyl and aryl substituted thioamides.
16. A heat-sensitive composition comprising a filmforming binder in which there is dispersed the reaction product of (i) a Grignard-type organometallic compound having the structure (R)y--M(X) in which R is a substituent selected from the group consisting of aryl and alkyl radicals, M is a metal of the group consisting of bismuth, chromium, gallium, germanium, iron, lead, mercury, tellurium and tin, X is an anion substituent, y and z each is an integer, and y+z=the valence of the metal, and (ii) a sulfur compound of the group consisting of alkyl and aryl Xanthates, alkyl and aryl thiuram sulfides, thiourea, alkyl and aryl substituted thiourea, thioamides, and alkyl and aryl substituted thioamides.
