A radiation-sensitive mixture is disclosed that contains a polymeric binder having acid-cleavable side groups and a compound which forms a strong acid on irradiation. Novel amides of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with which the polymers used as binders are synthesized are also disclosed. A positive- or negative-working radiation-sensitive recording material comprising a base and a layer of the radiation-sensitive mixture according to the invention is also disclosed. |
