Definitions
- This invention is related to Cho U.S. Patent No. 4.585,730. "Antistatic Backing Layer with Auxiliary Layer for a Silver Halide Element", granted April 29, 1986. This invention is also related to Miller U.S. Patent No. 4,701, 403, "Two-Layer Process for Applying Antistatic Compositions to Polyester Supports," granted October 20, 1987, which is directed to a process for applying a thin, clear antistatic layer to a photographic film.

- Polymeric film supports for photographic film are known for their propensity to accumulate static charges. This is a particular problem where the film is designed to be handled by machine and to be processed rapidly over unlike surfaces. Static charges which may be generated at this time cannot be readily tolerated because discharging these may expose the photographic layer, or layers, coated thereon.

- Crosslinking agents useful within the ambit of this invention include polyfunctional aziridines such as those described in Schadt U.S. Patent 4.225,665 and Miller U.S. Patent 4,701,403.
- Other useful crosslinking (hardening) agents include: chrome alum, carbodiimides, isoxazolinium salts, etc. Particularly preferred is pentaerythritol-tri-beta-(2-methyl aziridine) propionate added to the gelatin binder.

- the pH is adjusted to 3 to 12, preferably 6 to 8.
- the aqueous coating composition made as described above may be applied with good results to any of the conventional photographic film supports but the preferred support is poly(ethylene terephthalate) subcoated with a layer or layers of conventional resins and bearing on one side a photosensitive layer, preferably a silver halide emulsion layer, and on the other side as a backing layer a layer of an antistatic composition, e.g., antistatic coatings of Schadt U.S. Patent 4,225,665, Miller U.S. Patent 4,701,403, etc.

- the crosslinking agents such as those described above, interconnect the gelatin, the conductive compound and the carboxyl groups available on the surface of the antistatic under layer providing excellent adhesion. It is surprising, however, that transmission of the antistatic properties is maintained since it was thought that the conductive polymer should have all of the groups on the polymer chains available to provide transmission of the antistatic properties.

Description
- This invention is related to Cho U.S. Patent No. 4.585,730. "Antistatic Backing Layer with Auxiliary Layer for a Silver Halide Element", granted April 29, 1986. This invention is also related to Miller U.S. Patent No. 4,701, 403, "Two-Layer Process for Applying Antistatic Compositions to Polyester Supports," granted October 20, 1987, which is directed to a process for applying a thin, clear antistatic layer to a photographic film. The present invention provides an auxiliary layer designed to be coated over such layer.
- This invention relates to a photographic film. More particularly this invention relates to a photographic film having an improved auxiliary backing layer for said film which can conduct antistatic properties from an antistatic underlayer to the outside surface thereof.
- Polymeric film supports for photographic film are known for their propensity to accumulate static charges. This is a particular problem where the film is designed to be handled by machine and to be processed rapidly over unlike surfaces. Static charges which may be generated at this time cannot be readily tolerated because discharging these may expose the photographic layer, or layers, coated thereon.
- The use of so-called antistatic layers to prevent the build-up of these static charges is well known in the art. Schadt U.S. Patent 4.225.665. describes one such composition comprising a mixture of (1) a water-soluble copolymer of the sodium salt of styrene sulfonic acid and a carboxyl-containing monomer, (2) a hydrophobic polymer containing carboxyl groups, and (3) a water-soluble polyfunctional aziridine. When this mixture is applied as a single layer to resin-subbed (resin-subcoated)poly(ethylene terephthalate), for example, it provides excellent protection from the build-up of static charges (e.g., surface resistivity).
- Miller U.S. Patent 4,701,403 describes an improvement over the aforementioned Schadt patent wherein a polymer such as component (1), for example, is applied to the support in a first coating, optionally a composition containing component (2), and, after drying, aziridine component (3) is applied as a second coating contiguous thereto. This improved process permits the application of improved thinner antistatic layers without premature reaction of the aziridine with the other ingredients. Products from such premature reaction can sometimes plug and foul coating equipment, which is not commercially tolerable.
- Cho U.S. Patent 4,585,730 describes an auxiliary layer containing a conductive polymer in a concentration range of 0.3 to 10 % by weight of the gelatin binder taken from the group consisting of poly(sodium styrene sulfonate), poly(cellulose sulfate), poly(sodium styrene sulfonate-maleic acid), and others. This layer is satisfactory in transporting antistatic properties from underlayers to the surface thereof. However, occasionally the layer described in this patent suffers from certain disadvantages such as problems as problems with anchorage and poor processability in the fluids in which the photographic layer is processed.
- It is desired to provide an improved auxiliary layer over an antistatic layer of a photographic film which is useful in conducting antistatic properties to the surface thereof. Such a layer also serves as a backing layer for a photographic film which contains an antistatic layer thereon. It is also desired to provide such an auxiliary layer with good anchorage to previously applied layers and which is stable in photographic processing fluids.
- In accordance with this invention there is provided a photographic film comprising a support, at least one silver halide emulsion coated on one side of said support, and an antistatic layer coated on the opposite side of said support, whereby the antistatic layer is coated with an auxiliary layer and the antistatic properties of the antistatic layers are conducted through said auxiliary layers, characterized in that the antistatic layer is coated at a pH of 3 to 12 with an auxiliary layer consisting essentially of at least one crosslinkable conductive compound having functionally attached carboxylic acid groups and selected from the group consisting of poly(sodium styrene sulfonate-maleic anhydride), hexadecyl betaine, alkyldimethyl betaines, carboxylated imidazolines, coco amido betaines, and mixtures thereof, and a crosslinking agent for the conductive compound dispersed in a gelatine binder and selected from the group consisting of a polyfunctional aziridine, chrome alum, carbodiimides, and isoxazolinium salts, wherein the crosslinkable conductive compound is present in an amount of 0.5 to 30% by weight and the crosslinking agent is present in an amount of 0.5 to 5- by weight, both weights based on the weight of gelatin binder.
- Consisting essentially of as used in the appended claims means that unspecified constituents or conditions are not excluded provided that they do not affect the advantage of the invention from being realized.
- The crosslinkable conductive compound may be present alone or in combination with at least one other crosslinkable conductive compound. A particularly preferred crosslinkable conductive compound is poly(sodium styrene sulfonate-maleic anhydride). Other crosslinkable, conductive compounds include: hexadecyl betaine, alkyldimethyl betaines wherein alkyl is 1 to 12 carbon atoms, carboxylated imidazolines, coco amido betaines, etc. These conductive compounds which contain functionally attached carboxylic acid groups may be added to the auxiliary layer of this invention in a range of 0.5 to 30% by weight of the gelatin binder, preferably at 1.5 to 2.5% by weight. The term "gelatin binder" denotes a binder wherein the major component is gelatin. Gelatin substitutes, e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, detran, cellulose derivatives, modified gelatins, a water-soluble acrylic latex, etc., may be present in minor amounts, e.g., less than 17% by weight.
- Crosslinking agents useful within the ambit of this invention include polyfunctional aziridines such as those described in Schadt U.S. Patent 4.225,665 and Miller U.S. Patent 4,701,403. Other useful crosslinking (hardening) agents include: chrome alum, carbodiimides, isoxazolinium salts, etc. Particularly preferred is pentaerythritol-tri-beta-(2-methyl aziridine) propionate added to the gelatin binder. The crosslinking agent may be present in an amount of 0.5 to 5.0% by weight of the gelatin binder, preferably in an amount of 2.0 to 3.0% by weight.
- A mixture of the gelatin binder in water, the crosslinkable conductive compound and the crosslinking agent of this invention is made up prior to coating. Other additives such as, for example, antihalation dyes, surfactants, wetting agents and hardeners, etc., may also be present in the mixture. At this point, just prior to coating, the pH is adjusted to 3 to 12, preferably 6 to 8.
- The aqueous coating composition made as described above may be applied with good results to any of the conventional photographic film supports but the preferred support is poly(ethylene terephthalate) subcoated with a layer or layers of conventional resins and bearing on one side a photosensitive layer, preferably a silver halide emulsion layer, and on the other side as a backing layer a layer of an antistatic composition, e.g., antistatic coatings of Schadt U.S. Patent 4,225,665, Miller U.S. Patent 4,701,403, etc. The invention is not limited to any particular antistatic coating: however, the antistatic coatings of Miller, U.S. Patent 4,701,403 are preferred (see particularly column 3, line 56 to column 4, line 56). The backing layer of this invention is then coated over the antistatic layer at a coating weight of about 30 to 90 mg/dm², preferable about 40 to 60 mg/dm².
- Thus, in a particularly preferred mode, this invention is represented by a photographic film element which comprises a support, which is preferably dimensionally stable polyethylene terephthalate suitably subbed on both sides with a thin, anchoring substratum of a conventional resin sub over which may be applied a gelatin sublayer. On one side of this support a standard silver halide emulsion layer may be applied and this layer then overcoated with a protective overcoat layer, e.g., a conventional hardened gelatin, abrasion layer. On the side opposite to the side containing the emulsion layer, the antistatic layer of Miller U.S. Patent 4,701,403 is preferably applied followed by an auxiliary layer represented by this invention. The layer of this invention may be an antihalation layer or may be coated simply as a gelatin anti-curl layer, as is well-known to those of normal skill in the art.
- In another embodiment, the auxiliary layer can be replaced by two separately coated layers, each layer containing gelatin, one layer of which contains at least one crosslinkable conductive compound and the other layer of which contains a crosslinking agent, both as described and in the amounts set out above. For example, the conductive compound dispersed in some gelatin may be coated first followed by a coating of gelatin and crosslinking agent. When wet, the crosslinking agent will migrate into the conductive compound containing layer effectively serving to crosslink gelatin and conductive compound as described above.
- When the layer of this invention is made as taught herein, many advantages are obtained. First, this layer will provide the desired transmission of antistatic properties from the antistatic layer to the surface of the film. Next, the layer of this invention is stable and will survive the rigors of photographic processing without disintegration. This is very desirable since prior art layers tended to flake off during the processing steps. Loss of layer integrity is a defect that cannot be tolerated since particles of the layer tend to foul the processing fluids and, more importantly, cause loss of antistatic transmission properties. Additionally, the adhesion between previously coated or subsequently coated layers is enhanced by the presence of a layer of this invention over those of the prior art. This is a surprising result since layers very similar to those described herein, which have the required hardness from gelatin hardeners, among others, and are satisfactory in transmitting the antistatic properties, do not have the characteristics described above.
- While not being limited, it is theorized that the crosslinking agents, such as those described above, interconnect the gelatin, the conductive compound and the carboxyl groups available on the surface of the antistatic under layer providing excellent adhesion. It is surprising, however, that transmission of the antistatic properties is maintained since it was thought that the conductive polymer should have all of the groups on the polymer chains available to provide transmission of the antistatic properties.
- A host of conventional photosensitive materials may be Present as the emulsion layer described above. These include photopolymer, diazo, vesicular image-forming materials, etc. The films described may be used in any of the well-known imaging fields such as graphic arts, printing, medical and information systems, among others. The photographic film of this invention is particularly useful in processes where rapid transport and handling by machines are practiced such as phototypesetting applications, for example. Particularly useful elements include the so-called "bright-light" films which can be handled in relatively bright safelights, for example.
- This invention will now be illustrated but not limited by the following examples wherein the percentages are by weight.
-
- These ingredients were thoroughly mixed and split into portions of about 3040 g of each. Six portions were used for this example with further additions and treatments as follows:
Example No. Crosslinking Agent (10% Aq. Soln) (g)(1) Conductive Polymer (2% Aq. Soln) (g)(2) 1 42 175 2 84 74 3 84 175 4 126 70 5 100 125 Control 1 0 0 Control 2 Sample 3 from Ex. 1, U.S. Patent 4,585,730 (1) is a solution of pentaerythritol-tri-beta-(2-methyl aziridine) proprionate in distilled water (2) is a crosslinkable conductive polymer polymer(sodium styrene sulfonate-maleic anhydride) diluted in distilled water (no. average molecular wt. ca. 3,000 determined by known osmometry techniques) - A sample of each of the above solutions was coated on a 0.004 inch (0.10 mm) polyethylene terephthalate resin subbed (both sides) film which had been coated previously with an antistatic layer similar to that described by Miller U.S. Patent 4,701,403, Solution No. 4 of Example 1. Each of the aforementioned solutions was coated over the described antistatic layer to give a coating weight of ca. 55 mg/dm² After drying, the surface resistivity of each layer was measured following the procedures found in Cho U.S. Patent 4, 585,730, Example 1, column 4. In each case, with the exception of Control No. 1, the static protection was excellent. Each sample was then run through a standard photographic processor (developer, fixer, wash an dry) and the surfaces were then examined for static resistivity and adhesion. In the case of Examples 1-5 resistivity and adhesion were found to be excellent. None of the material had come off during processing and all of the antistatic transmission qualities were maintained. In the case of Controls 1 and 2, adhesion was poor, much of the layer had come off during the processing step. Control 2 static protection was poorer than that of Examples 1 to 5.
- To text the efficacy of another crosslinking agent and another conductive polymer or combination of conductive polymers within the metes and bounds of this invention, a large sample of the antihalation solution of Examples 1-5, above, was prepared and divided into 14 portions of 3040 gms as described therein. Additions were made to each portion as shown below:
Samples of each solution were then applied to film supports containing an antistatic layer as described in Examples 1-5. Each sample was tested for static and adhesion as also described in Examples 1 to 5. In the case of controls (Examples 12 and 19), there was a noticeable lack of static protection in both the pre-processed and processed samples and adhesion of the antihalation layer to the antistatic layer was poor. In the other Examples (6-11 and 13 -18) static protection was good to excellent, with those coated at pH 7 being better than those at pH 5. Adhesion was excellent in all of these samples indicating that other conductive compounds, alone or in combination will function within this invention.
