Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic material, and more particularly, to a silver halide photographic material having excellent dimensional stability.

[Background of the Invention]

Generally, gelatin is often used as a binder in silver halide photographic materials.

Gelatin has a high swelling property and gelling ability, is easy to crosslink with various hardeners, and adjusts the physical properties of the coating solution to a material that dislikes high temperature, such as photosensitive silver halide, to cover a large area. It is a binder having extremely excellent properties for uniform application over the entire surface.

In a silver halide photographic material, silver halide grains change into extremely hard metallic silver in a state where the gelatin layer has sufficiently absorbed water and swelled during development. Therefore, the emulsion layer does not return to its original state even after drying, and a phenomenon occurs in which the dimensions of the photosensitive material before and after processing are different even if the photosensitive material is the same.

On the other hand, a technique for improving the physical properties of a light-sensitive material by incorporating a polymer latex in a silver halide emulsion layer and a backing layer is well known.

These techniques include, for example, Research Disclosure 19951, JP-B-39-4722, JP-B-39-17702, and JP-A-43-17.

JP-A-61-284756, JP-A-61-285446 and the like disclose methods for incorporating micro oil droplets of paraffin or vinyl polymer. However, it is still not enough, and further improvement has been desired. That is, the conventional latex has a drawback that if a large amount is added to gelatin, the latex will form a film (aggregate), and if it is added more, the effect will not be exhibited. In this state, the effect of improving the dimensional stability is not sufficient. In particular, it is desired to develop a means for improving a phenomenon in which the dimensional difference before and after the treatment greatly changes depending on the environmental humidity.

[Object of the invention]

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to solve the film forming property when a large amount of latex is added to a gelatin layer, and to provide a silver halide photographic material having excellent dimensional stability. is there. In particular, it is the development of a method for adding a latex which is excellent in the effect of stabilizing the dimensions before and after treatment at low humidity.

[Configuration of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide photographic material comprising at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer coated on a support, wherein the emulsion layer is prepared by adding gelatin to a polymerization reaction system in advance. This is achieved by a silver halide photographic material characterized by containing a polymer latex that has been polymerized by polymerization.

The usual latex is aqueous-dispersed by a surfactant, but the latex which can be used in the present invention is characterized in that the surface of the polymer latex is dispersion-stabilized by gelatin. It is particularly desirable that the polymer constituting the latex and the gelatin have some kind of bond. In this case, the polymer and gelatin may be directly bonded, or may be bonded via a crosslinking agent. For this reason, the monomers that make up the latex include carboxyl groups, amino groups, amide groups, epoxy groups, hydroxyl groups, aldehyde groups, oxazoline groups, ether groups, ester groups, methylol groups, cyano groups, acetyl groups, and unsaturated carbon bonds. It is desirable to include those having a reactive group such as When a cross-linking agent is used, the one used as a normal gelatin cross-linking agent can be used. For example, aldehyde, glycol, triazine, epoxy, vinyl sulfone, oxazoline,
A methacrylic or acrylic crosslinking agent can be used.

The inventor of the present invention has found that there is a specific boundary in the ratio between the amounts of gelatin and latex in the process of continuing to study the improvement of the physical properties of the light-sensitive material. Also latex Tg
It was also found that this effect was further amplified by the selection of.

The effect of the dimensional stabilization becomes remarkable when the amount of the latex added is 70% or more with respect to the gelatin, particularly preferably 70% to 200%. Up to now, adding a large amount of latex usually forms latex,

Further, the amount of gelatin of this time the preferred emulsion layer is preferably 3 g / m ² or less, 2.5 g / m ² or less is particularly preferred.

Also, it was found that when the Tg of the latex was 20 ° C. or less, the environmental temperature dependency of the dimensional stability difference before and after treatment was remarkably improved.
