Abstract: Photothermographic materials(PTG),one of frontier subjects in the international photographic science during the last decade,have been summarized.Silver carboxylates,silver halide,toners,antifoggants,stabilizers,sensitizers,binders and other ingredients of PTG materials are introduced,and the imaging theories for PTG materials are reviewed.

Key words: photothermographic materials, silver carboxylates, silver halide, toner, development mechanism
