The present invention is a novel thermally-responsive record material comprising a substrate having provided thereon in substantially contiguous relationship an electron donating dye precursor, an acidic developer material, a compound of the formula
1
wherein P is selected from
2
wherein R
1
, R
2
and R
3
are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, aralkyl, aralkoxy, halogen, and alkoxyalkoxy;
wherein R
4
is independently selected from alkoxyalkyl, alkoxyalkoxy, and aralkoxyalkoxy, and a suitable binder therefor.
In the context of the present invention the alkyl moieties in the alkyl, aralkyl, aralkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxyalkoxy and aralkoxyalkoxy preferably are eight carbons or less, and more preferably from one through four carbons. Substituents on aryl moieties in aryl, aralkyl, aralkoxy, and aralkoxyalkoxy groups can include hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy and halogen. The alkyl group in these substituents also is eight carbons or less, and more preferably from one through four carbons.
The thermally responsive record material of the invention has the unexpected and remarkable properties of enhanced image intensity or density, and/or improved thermal response.
本发明是一种新型的热响应记录材料,包括基底,基底上设置有以下物质:电子给体染料前体、酸性显影剂、化合物1,其中P从2中选择,R1、R2和R3独立地选择自氢、烷基、烷氧基、芳基、芳基烷基、芳基烷氧基、卤素和烷氧基烷氧基;R4独立地选择自烷氧基烷基、烷氧基烷氧基和芳基烷氧基烷氧基,以及适当的粘合剂。在本发明中,烷基、芳基烷基、芳基烷氧基、烷氧基烷基、烷氧基烷氧基和芳基烷氧基烷氧基中的烷基成分最好是八个碳或更少,更好是从一个到四个碳。芳基、芳基烷基、芳基烷氧基和芳基烷氧基烷氧基中的芳基成分的取代基可以包括氢、烷基、烷氧基和卤素。这些取代基中的烷基也是八个碳或更少,更好是从一个到四个碳。本发明的热响应记录材料具有出乎意料和显著的增强图像强度或密度和/或改善热响应的特性。
