Development of the aqueous-coated photothermographic material.
As the use of digitization grows in the medical field, doctors are increasingly demanding high quality photographic films for digital images to help them form their diagnoses. From an environmental perspective, photothermography has the advantage of no waste and the disadvantage of using enormous amounts of organic solvents during production. We succeeded in developing a system using aqueous latex with aqueous coated photothermographic film that drastically reduces the use of organic solvents.
