Appeal No. 1998-2134
Application No. 08/585,217
Claims 10, 14 and 15 were indicated to “be allowable if
rewritten in independent form, including all of the
limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.”
See Answer, page 2. Claims 1 and 17 are
representative of the subject matter on appeal and read as
follows:
1. A photocurable elastomeric mixture comprising:
a) an amphiphilic elastomeric binder or a mixture
of such binders,
b) a free-radical-polymerizable compound which is
compatible with the binder and which has at least
one terminally ethylenically unsaturated group and a
boiling point at normal pressure of over 100°C and
c) a compound or a combination of compounds which
is capable of initiating the polymerization of the
compound (b) on exposure to actinic light,
wherein the elastomeric binder is a block
copolymer made up of the segments A, B and C, where
A is a hydrophobic soft polymer block having a
glass transition temperature of below -30°C,
B is a hydrophobic hard polymer block having a
glass transition temperature of over +30°C,
C is a polar polymer block which is made up
of heterocyclic compounds which can be
polymerized by anionic ring opening.
17. A photocurable recording material as claimed
