Definitions
- This invention relates to new polymeric colour couplers and to their use in photographic materials.
- camera speed film material which comprises silver halide and colour couplers in a silver halide emulsion layer which yields on colour development a so-called monochromatic dye image.
- This material has some advantages over the conventional black and white camera speed film material in that the dye images are virtually grainless compared with the silver image obtained using high-speed film material.
- film material of this type can be processed using conventional colour film processing chemistry.
- Most processing houses are now set-up to process only colour film and thus it is a great convenience to be able to process the monochromatic camera speed film material in a colour film processing system.
- a polymeric colour coupler which comprises the residue of three monomeric colour couplers of the formulae :- where R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, chlorine or bromine, R2 is a divalent organic radical and W1, W2 and W3 are each an active colour former moiety capable of forming upon chromogenic development of exposed silver halide material with a primary aromatic amine colour developing agent a dye, W1 forming a yellow dye, W2 forming a magenta dye and W3 forming a cyan dye.
- the three moieties W1, W2 and W3 are present in the polymer in such a ratio that a black or blackish dye is obtained upon colour development.
- W1, W2 and W3 can be any coupler moiety known in the art such as those described below.
- R1 is hydrogen or methyl.
- R2 the divalent organic radical may be the residue of a urethane, a urea, a carbonate, an ester, an ether, a ketone or an amide. More preferably however it is a simple amido linkage -C(O)-NH-.
- the polymeric colour coupler of the type described may be formed as a polymer latex which is not isolated but is used as such. Or it may be formed as a water-soluble solid. If it is formed as a polymer latex there is preferably present in the polymer unit at least one other simple, non-colour-coupling photograhically inert comonomer. The presence of other monomers in the polymer is particularly desirable if the polymer is to be incorporated in photographic material as a latex.
- a latex polymer is produced having optimum physical properties, such as glass transition temperature, compatibility with the gelatin used in preparing coating solutions, suitable refractive index, as well as beneficial rates of copolymerisation between the coupler monomers and the photographically inert comonomers and the ability to confer lowered viscosity and reasonable miscibility with the mixture of coupler monomers.
- the polymeric colour coupler of the type described is formed as a water-soluble solid there is present in the polymer from 40 - 60% by weight of the residue of a monomer which has the formula IV where R1 has the meaning assigned to it above, L is an alkylene or interrupted alkylene linking group and R1 and R11 are alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and X is an anion.
- L is preferably an alkylene chain having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms or is an interupted alkylene chain having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms there being an oxygen from or an -NH- group in the chain.

- crosslinking monomers may be present such as divinyl benzene, ethylene dimethacrylate, trivinyl cyclohexane and trimethylol propane triacylate.
- the surface active agents used in the preparation of the polymer latex may be any of those well known in the art, for example nonionic wetting agents including alcohol ethoxylates, sorbitan esters, aryl phenol alkoxylates, alkyl alkanolamides, anionic wetting agents including alkyl sulphates and sulphonates, sulphosuccinates, aryl sulphonates, polyalkoxy sulphates, alkyl phosphates, aryl phenol phosphates, alkyl taurates, sarcosinates, and copolymerisable surfactants such as allyl sulphosuccinates, again this list is not intended to be exhaustive.

- Monomeric colour couplers of general formula XX are described in GB-A- 2133170.
- the colour couplers of the type described are of particular use in monochromatic camera speed silver halide film material.
- the photographic material after imagewise exposure is developed in a colour developing bath by use of a para - phenylene diamine developing agent to yield a developed silver image and black dye image.
- the material is then subjected to a bleach fix treatment which removes the developed silver image and then unexposed silver halide leaving the black dye negative image which can be used to print all types of black and white paper including variable contrast paper.
- the colour couplers of the type described can also be used to prepare monochromatic paper. That is to say paper which can be processed using colour processing chemistry to yield a black dye image instead of a silver image. Paper of this type is of particular use from which to prepare proof prints.
- the colour coupler of the type described can also be used to reinforce silver halide images at such time that, as occurred some years ago, the price of silver becomes too prohibitive to use in photography when a very dense silver image is required.
- the photographic material of the present invention preferably comprises gelatin as the binder in the silver halide emulsion layer.
- the halide used can be any of the silver halides normally used in photography e.g. silver bromide, silver iodobromide, silver chloride, silver chlorobromide and silver iodochlorobromide.
- the silver halide grains may be both optically and chemically sensitised.
- the silver halide emulsion may contain stabiliser, bacteriocides and any of the other additives commonly found in photographic silver halide emulsions.
- the gelatin may have been hardened and may contain coating aids as usual when preparing coated silver halide emulsions.
- the base can be any of the usual transparent bases used in photography for example subbed polyester, polycarbonate or polystyrene base, or may be a cellulose triacetate or cellulose acetate - butyrate base. If the material is to be used for proof prints the base may be any opaque base in common use for photographic print material for example baryta coated paper base or polyethylene laminated paper base.
- a monomer solution was made by dissolving in 2.00 g hydroxy propyl methacrylate and 3.00 g butyl acrylate 0.34 g Monomer A, (magenta monomer), 0.34g Monomer B (yellow monomer) and 0.34 g Monomer C (cyan monomer).
- the vessel containing this solution was maintained at about 30 to 40°C.
- a surfactant solution was prepared by dissolving in 5.80 g water sodium oleylmethyl taurate 0.16 g and potassium persulphate 40 mg.
- the surfactant and monomer solutions were then fed slowly into the 100 ml vessel which comprised the initiator solution first set forth. These additions were made over 2 hours.
- the resultant latex formed in the 100 ml vessel was maintained at 80°C for 1 1 ⁇ 2 hours. The contents were then cooled and filtered.
- the latex as just prepared was used to prepare colour photographic material.
- To 2.2 ml of an undyed twinned crystal iodobromide gelatino emulsion there was added 0.4 ml of the latex and 7 ml of water.
- To this emulsion there was added 0.4 ml. of water.
- To this emulsion there was added 0.4 ml of a 3% solution of a triazine hardener.
- the emulsion was then coated on clear cellulose triacetate base to provide a silver coating weight of 12 mg/dm2.
- the coating was dried and inspected in green light to show a clear, glossy coating.
- This photographic material was then exposed to a white light source for 10 seconds and processed in a colour developing solution for 3.25 minutes at 38°C.
- the photographic material was then passed to a bleach bath for 6.5 minutes at 35°C.
- the formula of the bleach bath used is as follows :-
- the material was then washed for 3 minutes in water at 30°C and then dried. A neutral grey image was present on the photographic material. This image has the visible absorption spectrum shown in the accompanying Figure 1. This shows that the material has good absorption in the blue, green and red regions of the visible spectrum.
- One of the negatives obtained thereby was placed in a photographic enlarger and was used to print normal non-optically sensitised black and white paper. After processing the exposed paper a bright image having clear highlights and dark shadows was obtained.
- the other of the negatives obtained was placed in a photographic enlarger provided with a filter to enable variable contrast photographic paper to be printed. An inspection of the image on the enlarger baseboard indicated that a No. 2 contrast filter should be used. This was placed in position with a sheet of variable contrast material below it and was printed using the negative. After processing the print was examined. As before a bright print having clear highlights and dark shadows was obtained.
- p-Toluene sulphonic acid (4g) was dissolved in industrial alcohol (30 ml). Sufficient of the monomer dimethyl-aminoethyl methacrylate was added with stirring to raise the pH to 7. This required 5.2 g.
- This solution was placed in a 50 ml flask to which were added 1 g of Monomer A (the magenta monomer), 0.5 g of Monomer B (the yellow monomer) and 0.5 g of Monomer C (the cyan monomer).
- the flask was equipped with a condenser, nitrogen inlet, oil bath and magnetic stirrer. Nitrogen was bubbled through for 10 minutes at room temperature. The flask was then heated to 70°C and maintained at that temperature.
- a free radical initiator solution was prepared which comprised 0.5 g azobis(isobutyronitrile) in 50 ml of industrial alcohol. 4.8 ml of this solution was added to the flask. After 2 hours a further 1.2 ml of the initiator solution was added and this was repeated after a further 2 hours. After 7 hours reaction time the contents of the flask were added to ether (500 ml) and a tacky brown solid precipitated. This solid was dissolved in industrial alcohol and reprecipitated in ether to give a free flowing white powder. Yield 7.13 g (67.3 %). This powder was found to be completely water soluble.
- Example 1 0.1g of this solid was then added to an emulsion as prepared in Example 1. A clear glossy coating was used in Example 1. A clear glossy coating was found on inspection in green light. As in Example 1 the coating was exposed to white light for 10 seconds and then was processed as set forth in Example 1.
