SC23-T2: Free-Volume Effects inImaging Systems

Tuesday 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM (2 hours)Instructor: Michel (Mike) Frantz Molaire,

Molaire Consulting

The majority of imaging systems consist of dis-persed and/or dissolved image-active moleculesin polymeric matrixes. The glass temperature Tgof the polymeric matrix, the characteristic ofthe imaging mixture (compatibility, miscibility,thermal history), and the operating temperaturecritically influence the imaging process. The free-volume theory provides a framework to analyzeand describe the impact of various manufactur-ing processes on the imaging process.This short course reviews the free-volume

theory emphasizing the key and importantconcepts. Examples of free-volume imaging ef-fects in photopolymerizable dry-film systems,photoresists, photoreceptor drums, sol gel over-coats and photochromic systems are presented.The course also looks at general imaging mech-anisms that are susceptible to free-volumeinfluences and techniques to overcome andminimize those effects.

BenefitsThis course enables an attendee to:• Learn about the free-volume theory.• Appreciate the importance of the glass

transition temperature Tg in amorphouscoating systems.

• Understand physical aging of glasses.• Learn about several free-volume effects in

various imaging systems, including photore-ceptors, photopolymerizable compositions,and sol-gel overcoats.

• Discover how to differentiate “free-volumetrapping” from “intrinsic trapping.”

“My manager made me sign upand now I realize he’s a little

smarter than I thought.”

• Analyze the critical conditions for potentialfree-volume effects.

• Review techniques to minimize or eliminatenegative free-volume effects.

Intended Audience: imaging professionals, formu-lation, coating and process scientists, and man-ufacturing engineers who want to become awareof a potential problem that only reveals itself tothose looking for it. A basic knowledge of poly-mer science will be beneficial but is not required.

SC26-T3: Colorant ChemistryTuesday 1:30 – 5:30 PM (4 hours)

Instructor: Jeffrey Banning, Xerox Corporation

Very little work is being conducted in the area ofnew chromophore research in the dye industry.Instead, most dye research effort is being con-ducted in the modification or “tuning” of existingdyes, or dye classes in terms of shade, solubilityand/or reactivity. This tutorial assists in the un-derstanding such tuning processes. Using color(in presentations and handouts), the instructorteaches students about color chemistry with theaforementioned goal in mind. Starting with theconcept of a light interacting with a prism, theinstructor guides the students from an under-standing of additive and subtractive coloration,further explaining the cause of coloration of adye or pigment, and continues to the area ofstructure/property (color) relationships. An un-derstanding of how one develops strategies fortuning/ tailoring the shade and other physicaland chemical properties of a dye emergesthrough the course of the tutorial.

BenefitsThis course will enable the attendee to:• Understand the concept of additive and sub-

tractive coloration.• Recognize the common terms employed by

color chemists and their literature.• Understand the four classes of dyes based on

the electronic origin of the color.• Explain the concept of structure/color rela-

tionship, in the major classes of colorants.• Predict shifts in shades (bathochromic/

hypsochromic) based on structural changes/modifications within the chromophore.

• Discuss the major classes of chromophoresemployed in making dyes of various hues.

• Locate commercially available dyes andpreps for synthetic strategies to many of them.

• Employ the aforementioned benefits toexpand one’s understanding (and capability)in developing strategies to tune/tailor dyes.

Intended Audience: scientists, engineers, techni-cians, or technical marketing persons with achemistry/science background who need toknow about the chemistry of colorants and whoare likely to be new to the field; a year of gener-al and organic chemistry is recommended.
