Definitions

  • the present invention relates to photographic emulsions on substrates having a subbing or priming layer thereon.
  • Typical photographic supports comprise a base material (e.g., polyester, cellulose triacetate, or paper) with a subbing layer on at least one surface to assist in the adherence of the gelatin layers, including the emulsion layers, to the base.
  • base material e.g., polyester, cellulose triacetate, or paper
  • subbing layer on at least one surface to assist in the adherence of the gelatin layers, including the emulsion layers, to the base.
  • Conventional subbing layers are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,343,840, 3,495,984, 3,495,985 and 3,788,856.
  • the present invention relates to photographic elements having at least one silver halide emulsion layer over a substrate, where the substrate has at least one polymeric surface to which is adhered a layer comprising a gelled or hydrolyzed network of inorganic particles, pre­ferably inorganic oxide particles, containing an ambifunc­tional silane.
  • the present invention relates to photographic elements. These elements comprise a substrate having at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a surface thereof. A surface with an emulsion thereon is hereinafter referred to as a major surface of the substrate.
  • the silver halide emulsion generally comprises silver halide grains (also referred to as crystals or particles) carried in a water-­penetrable binder medium of a hydrophilic colloid. It has been recently found that the use of a gelled or hydrolyzed network of inorganic particles, preferably oxides, as a layer on a polymeric surface provides an excellent subbed (or primed) substrate for photographic emulsions (U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 40930, filed April 21, 1987).
  • this gelled particulate layer is capable of providing one or more excellent properties to the photo­graphic element including, but not limited to antistatic properties, ease of coatability of the particulate layer, photoinertness (harmless to the photographic emulsion and its properties), adhesion (both wet and dry, to both the substrate and the emulsion layers), and reduction in specular reflectance (i.e., antihalation properties).
  • wet adhesion can be weak during development processing. It has been hypothe­sized that the bond between the gelled network and the gelatin is an acid/base bond.
  • this bond is sufficiently weakened so that other materials in the emulsion will com­pete with the gelatin for reaction with sites on the sol-gel coating. This can weaken the bond between the gelatin layer and gelled network layer. Lifting or separation of the layers can result.
  • ambifunctional silane means that the compound has reactive silanes on one end of the molecule and a different reactive species capable of reacting with a photographic hardener for gelatin or directly with gelatin.
  • This second functionality enables the compound to react with the inorganic particle (through the silane group) and also react with the gelatin (reacting with the gelatin hardener which also reacts with the gelatin).
  • the preferred second functional groups on the compound are amino groups and epoxy (e.g., glycidyl) groups.
  • the second functionality may be present as a single functional moiety or may be present as a multiple number of such groups.
  • a formula that may be used to represent many of the ambifunctional silanes of the present invention is (Q) n -R-Si(OR1)3 wherein R1 is alkyl or aryl, R is an organic group with (n+1) external bonds or valences, n is 0, 1 or 2, and Q is a moiety reactive with photographic hardeners or directly with gelatin (e.g., alpha-amino acids).
  • R1 is alkyl of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and most preferably l to 4 carbon atoms.
  • R is preferably an aliphatic or aromatic bridging group such as alkylene, arylene, alkarylene, or aralkylene which may be interrupted with ether linkages (oxygen or thioethers), nitrogen linkages, or other relatively inert moieties. More preferably R is alkylene of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, preferably 2 to 8 carbon atoms, with n equal to 1.
  • Q is preferably epoxy, or amino, primary or secondary, more preferably primary amino.
  • the second func­tional group may be present as a multiple number of such groups it is meant that the moiety (Q) n -R- may include moieties such as NH2-(CH2)2-NH-(CH2)2-NH-(CH2)3- NH2-(CH2)-3 (NH2)2-CH-CH2- and the like.
  • the substrates of the invention may comprise any material having at least one polymeric surface which is to be used as the major surface of the substrate.
  • the finished emulsion is coated on a suitable support.
  • Supports which can be used include films of syn­thetic polymers such a polyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, partial formalation poly­vinyl alcohol, polycarbonate, polyesters such as polyethyl­ene terephthalate, and polyamides, films of cellulose derivatives such as cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, cellulose triacetate, and cellulose acetate butyrate, paper covered with ⁇ -olefin polymers or gelatin (a natural polymer), for example, and synthetic papers made of poly­styrene; that is, any of transparent or opaque support commonly used in photographic elements can be used.
  • syn­thetic polymers such as polyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, partial formalation poly­vinyl alcohol, polycarbonate, polyesters such as polyethyl­ene terephthalate, and polyamides
  • films of cellulose derivatives such
  • Primed polymeric substrates are also useful, including, but not limited to, gelatin-primed polymers (e.g., gelatin on poly(ethylene terephthalate)), and poly(vinylidene chloride) copolymers on polyester.
  • gelatin-primed polymers e.g., gelatin on poly(ethylene terephthalate)
  • poly(vinylidene chloride) copolymers on polyester e.g., poly(ethylene terephthalate)
  • Other primers such as aziridines, acrylates, and melamine-formaldehyde are also known. This includes polymeric materials loaded with pigments and particulates such as titania to improve the white background of the image and to provide antihalation or other sensito­metric effects.
  • the substrates of the invention may be used with any type of photographic silver halides including, but not limited to silver chloride, silver bromide, silver chloro­bromide, silver iodochlorobromide, silver bromoiodide and silver chloroiodide grains, which may be in any of the many available crystal forms or habits including, but not limited to cubic, tetrahedral, lamellar, tabular, orthorhombic grains, etc.
  • Soluble silver salts and soluble halides can be reacted by methods such as a single jet process, a double jet process, and a combination thereof.
  • a procedure can be employed in which silver halide grains are formed under the presence of an excess of silver ions (a so-called reverse mixing process).
  • a so-called controlled double jet process can also be employed in which the pAg of the liquid phase wherein the silver halide is formed is kept constant.
  • Two or more silver halide emulsions which have been prepared independently may be used in combination with each other.
  • Soluble salts are usually removed from the silver halide emulsion after the precipitate formation or physical ripening of the silver halide emulsion.
  • a noodle water-washing method can be employed in which the soluble salts are removed by gelling the emulsions.
  • a flocculation method utilizing inorganic salts containing polyvalent anions, anionic surface active agents, anionic polymers or gelatin derivatives can also be used.
  • the silver halide emulsions are usually chemi­cally sensitized. This chemical sensitization can be carried out, for example, by the methods as described in H. Frieser ed., Die Unen der Photographischen Sawe mit Silverhalogeniden , Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft, pp. 675-734 (1968).

  • the articles of the invention comprise a substrate which may be transparent, translucent, or opaque to visible light having at least one polymeric surface, and have formed thereon a coating in the form of a continuous gelled network of inorganic oxide particles with an adhesion promoting effective amount of an ambifunctional silane.
  • the coated article preferivelyably exhibits a total average increase in transmissivity of normal incident light of at least two percent and up to as much as ten percent or more, when compared to an uncoated substrate, depending on the substrate coated, over a range of wavelengths extending at least between 400 to 900 nm.
  • An increase in light transmission of two percent or more is generally visually apparent and is sufficient to produce a measurable increase in energy transmissivity when the coated substrate is used.
  • An increase in transmissivity is also present at wavelengths into the infrared portion of the spectrum.
  • the gelled network is a porous coating having voids between the inorganic oxide particles. If the porosity is too small, the antireflectance may be reduced. If the porosity is too large, the coating is weakened and may have reduced adhesion to the substrate.
  • the colloidal solution from which the gelled network is obtained is capable of providing porosity of about 25 to 70 volume percent, preferably about 30 to 60 volume percent when dried.

  • the average thickness of the dried coating is preferably from about 300 to 10,000 ⁇ , more preferably 800 to 5000 ⁇ and most preferably between 900 and 2000 ⁇ . Such coatings provide good antistatic properties. When the coating thickness is too great, the coating has reduced adhesion and flexibility and may readily flake off or form powder under mechanical stress.
  • Articles such as transparent sheet or film materials may be coated on a single side or on both sides to increase light transmissivity, the greatest increase being achieved by coating both sides.
  • the process of coating the layer of the present invention comprises coating a substrate with a solution of colloidal inorganic metal oxide particles (and preferably the silane at this point), the solution preferably containing at least 0.2 or 0.5 to 15 weight percent of the particles, the particles preferably having an average primary particle size less than about 500 or 200 ⁇ , more preferably less than about 70 ⁇ , and drying the coating at a temperature less than that which degrades the substrate, preferably less than about 200°C, more preferably in the range of 80 to 120°C.

  • the substrate may be treated prior to coating to obtain a uniform coating using techniques such as corona discharge, flame treatment, and electron beam. Generally, no pretreat­ment is required.
  • the ambifunctional silane may be added before, during or after coating. It is preferred to add the silane to the coating mixture before coating. If the silane is added after the "gelled network" has been coated and dried, it should be added from a water-containing solution, so that the silane will be in its hydrolyzed form.

  • the drying temperature should be less than at which the substrate degrades.
  • the resulting coating is hygroscopic in that it is capable of absorbing and/or rehydrating water, for example, in an amount of up to about 15 to 20 weight percent, depending on ambient temperature and humidity conditions.
  • the colloidal inorganic oxide solution utilized in the present invention comprises finely divided solid inorganic metal oxide particles in a liquid.

At particle concentrations about 15 weight percent, the resulting coating may have reduced uniformity in thickness and exhibit reduced adhesion to the substrate surface. Difficulties in obtaining a sufficiently thin coating to achieve increased light transmissivity and reduced reflec­tion may also be encountered at concentrations above about 15 weight percent. At concentrations below 0.2 weight percent, process inefficiencies result due to the large amount of liquid which must be removed and antireflection properties may be reduced.
  • the thickness of the applied wet coating solution is dependent on the concentration of inorganic metal oxide particles in the coating solution and the desired thickness of the dried coating.
  • the thickness of the wet coating solution is preferably such that the resulting dried coating thickness is from about 80 to 500 nm thick, more preferably about 90 to 200 nm thick.
  • the coating solution may also optionally contain a surfactant to improve wettability of the solution on the substrate, but inclusion of an excessive amount of surfac­tant may reduce the adhesion of the coating to the sub­strate.

  • the sol as received from the manufacturer is diluted with water to the desired percent solids. Then the specified coupling agent is added to the diluted sol. The amount of coupling agent is calculated according to the percent weight to metal oxide solids. After addition of coupling agent the mixture is vigorously shaken for 30 sec. to dissolve the coupling agent. Then, 0.05-.1% wt. of Triton X-100 surfactant is added as a coating aid.
  • This mixture is coated onto an appropriate substrate film by: l ) a 10 cm x 20 cm sheet of film is placed on a flat surface; 2) a bead of the mixture is drawn across the top of the sheet (about 1 milliliter); 3) the mixture is spread across the sheet by means of a #4 stainless steel wire-wound rod; 4) the coated sheet is dried in an oven for about two minutes at 100°C. The dried coated sheets are allowed to stand at room temperature for one day or more before further use.
  • a standard x-ray photographic emulsion is prepared and coated onto the above sheets by: 1) the temperature of the emulsion mixture is adjusted to about 40°C; 2) a bead of the emulsion (approx. 2 ml) is drawn across the top of a sol-coated sheet; 3) the emulsion is spread across the sheet by means of a #24 stainless steel wire-wound rod; 4) the emulsion coated sheet is dried at 50°C for about two hours.
  • Adhesion Test Methods The following method was used to test all of the experimental samples for emulsion adhesion. Following the tests described below, each sample is given a grade between zero (0) and 10, according to the approximate percentage of emulsion remaining on the sample. Thus if 50% of the emulsion remains the grade is "5". If all of the emulsion remains, the grade is "10".
  • the test method is: 1) a 5 cm x 10 cm portion of the x-ray emulsion coated material from above is immersed in x-ray developer at room temperature for two minutes; 2) the material is removed from the developer and, while still wet with developer, scribed in a cross-hatch pattern with the corner of a razor blade, and rubbed with firm pressure in a circular motion for 24 cycles with a rubber glove-tipped index finger; 3) the sample is washed in cold water and dried; 4) a 2.5 cm x 5 cm portion of 3M #610 tape is affixed over the cross-hatched area of the test material and pulled off with a vigorous snap; 5) the sample is graded as described above for emulsion adhesion.
  • the substrate film used in the examples was 4-mil PET primed with about 0.04 microns of a poly(vinylidene chloride) containing terpolymer.
  • GPS is ⁇ -glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane.
  • a silica-coated sample was prepared using the coating mixture 2B and the above-described preparative method. This sample was dipped into a solution of 0.10% APS in ethanol for 15 seconds and air dried. This was then emulsion coated and tested according to the above procedures. The adhesion test result was "10".
  • silica-coated samples were prepared using the coating mixture 2B and the above-described preparative method. These samples were coated with x-ray emulsion modified as follows:
  • a silica-coated sample was prepared using the coating mixture 1C, except that 0.56g of K&K #1312 gelatin was dissolved in the mixture. This was emulsion coated and tested according to the above procedures. The adhesion test result was "10". Furthermore the conductive and optical properties of the silica-coated sample were comparable to those of silica-coated sample prepared with mixture 1C.
  • sol-gel and gelation as they apply to the use of inorganic dispersions of particles in the formation of layers, are well understood in the art. Sol-gels, as previously described, comprise a rigidized dispersion of a colloid in a liquid, that is the gelled network previously described. Gelation is the process of rigidizing the sol-­gel.
  • the liquid extracted sol-gel coating (which will generally retain some significant amounts of liquid, e.g., at least 0.1% by weight up to 10% or 15% or more by weight in some cases) can be described in a number of various physical terms which distinguish it from other particulate constructions such as sintered, adhesively bound, or thermally fused particles.
  • the association of the particles in a sol-gel system is a continuous sol-gel network which is known to mean in the art that the particles form an inorganic polymer network at the intersection of the particle (e.g., as with silica sol-gels), or an inorganic salt system. Bonding forces such as van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding can form an important part of the mechanism of particle association.
  • These characterizations of sol-gel compositions are quite distinct from the use of polymer binders which form a binding medium to keep particles associated and where the particles themselves do not exert direct bonding forces on one another.
  • the size of the colloid particles in the sol-gel is important. Processes where particulates are ball-milled generally produce particles of no less than about 1 micron. Unless a chemical process is used to form the particles of smaller size, which agglomer­ate to effectively form large particles which are then ball-milled to break up the agglomeration, the particle size limit of about l micron from physical processing tends to hold true.
