20090252885 | Photopolymer Resins for Photo Replication of Information Layers - Photopolymer resins ate disclosed which includes metal and/or ceramic surface chelating agents to provide strong bonding of the photopolymer resin to the inorganic surface of the first information layer of an optical disc. The resins also include a fast surface cure and glass transition temperature controlling monomers that provides easy stamper separation The disclosed photopolymer resins also include short wavelength (<405 nm) surface cure initiators. The resins may also optionally include shrinkage control oligomers and/or polymer fillers or a combination of both Use of the disclosed resins eliminates two steps from the manufacture of a multiple information layer optical disc as the formation of spacer layers and the curing of spacer layers is no longer necessary. | 10-08-2009 |
