Title: The Innovations of Shuji Kozaki
Introduction
Shuji Kozaki is a notable inventor based in Fujinomiya, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of photocured image structures and infrared sensitive coatings. With a total of 2 patents, his work has advanced the technology used in flexographic printing and other applications.
Latest Patents
Kozaki's latest patents include an innovative infrared sensitive coating liquid. This coating liquid is designed to provide an infrared sensitive layer on a photosensitive resin surface. It is created by dissolving or dispersing a binder polymer, an infrared absorbing substance, and optionally a non-infrared opaque substance in a specific ester solvent. This invention allows for the production of seamless photosensitive resin sleeve printing plates, which are effective in achieving superior ink coverage. The coating process improves the work environment and reduces the risk of ignition explosions.
Another significant patent is a method for producing a photocured image structure. This method involves providing a selectively photocured elastomer composition layer that has both photocured and uncured portions. By using a developer comprising a specific ester and optionally a specific alcohol, the uncured portion is washed out, resulting in a high-quality photocured image structure. This method minimizes swelling and eliminates the risk of relief breakage and orange peel formation.
