Definitions
- miniature cameras have been generally used for various purposes. In the points of portability and easy handling of the miniature cameras, further miniaturization of the miniature cameras has been demanded. In order to miniaturize the miniature cameras as little as possible, it is indispensable to make a housing space of a photographic film to be loaded more compact.
- polyester has been also conventionally known as a support and has been frequently used for an X-ray film and a process film.

- a direct polymerization method in which an acid and a glycol are subjected to direct esterification and then polycondensation
- an transesterification (hereinafter referred to as "EI”: ester interchange) method in which an ester of an acid and a glycol are subjected to transesterification reaction and then polycondensation.
- EI ester interchange
- esterification can proceed sufficiently without a catalyst, but in the EI reaction, it is difficult to proceed the reaction within an economical time when an EI catalyst is not used.

- the eighth invention is the support described above wherein the above copolymerized polyester contains an aromatic dicarboxylic acid having a metal sulfonate in an amount of 2 to 7 mole % based on all ester bond units and a polyalkylene glycol or a polyalkylene oxy dicarboxylic acid in an amount of 3 to 10 % by weight based on the total weight of the copolymerized polyester as monomer units.

Its molecular weight is not particularly limited, but it may be 300 to 20,000, preferably 600 to 10,000, more preferably 1,000 to 5,000 in terms of a number average molecular weight. Also, when the polyalkylene oxy dicarboxylic acid or a derivative thereof is used in place of the polyalkylene glycol, a polyethylene oxy dicarboxylic acid or a polytetraethylene oxy dicarboxylic acid is preferably used, and polyethylene oxy dicarboxylic acid is more preferably used.
- the copolymerized polyester containing an aromatic dicarboxylic acid having a metal sulfonate group as a monomer unit in the present invention preferably contains an aromatic dicarboxylic acid having a metal sulfonate group detected by hydrolyzing said polyester in an amount of 2 to 7 mole %, more preferably 3 to 6 mole % based on all ester bond units and preferably contains the above polyalkylene glycol in an amount of 3 to 10 % by weight, more preferably 4 to 8 % by weight based on the weight of all reaction products.
