Abstract: The effects of different sizes and contents of the cubic AgBr grains on the sensitivity of PTG materials were studied, in which hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as a binder and the cubic AgBr emulsions were obtained from an ex-situ preparation. The results showed that the sensitivity of PTG reached a maximum when AgBr grain sizes were about 100—200 nm or in the ratio of 4 to 10 AgBr mol/AgSt mol. In addition, it was shown that a little gelatin introduced from the AgBr emulsion would not bring about any significant effect on the sensitivity of PTG system.
