A novel polyelectrolyte complex from diazoresin (DR) as cationic polye
lectrolyte and poly(sodium styrene sulfonate)(PSS) as anionic polyelec
trolyte was prepared. It was found that the complex which is indissolv
e in water or any organic solvent, will dissolve in SDS aqueous soluti
on, The DR-PSS/SDS aqueous solution, as an unexpected result, exhibits
extraordinary thermostability as well as high photosensitivity and ca
n be used directly as a composition in photoimaging technique. A propo
sed explanation for soluble of DR-PSS in SDS aqueous solution and high
thermostability was proposed and discussed preliminary.
