Definitions

  • This invention relates to color photography and particularly to mixed grain photographic emulsions.
  • mixed grain photographic emulsions that is photographic systems in which differently sensitized silver halide grains are incorporated in a single photographic emulsion layer and may be used to produce differently colored photographic images in the layer.
  • Mixed grain photographic systems have a number of advantages among which are the simplicity of coating a single photographic layer and the improvement in definition secured by having the differently sensitized particles juxtaposed in a single layer. Processing the emulsion is also generally simplified.
  • My method involves in general the incorporation of the sensitized silver halide grains and a color former or coupling compound in a colloidal material which is soluble in water but which may be rendered insoluble and dispersed in a water-permeable colloidal material such as gelatin or polyvinyl alcohol.
  • the colloidal material in Which the silver halide and coupler are incorporated consists of a hydrophilic macromolecular compound, esspecially a polymeric six-carbon atomv aldehyde carboxylic acid such as alginic acid or oxidized cellulose.
  • Alginic acid is a polymeric d-mannuronic acid and is available as the water-soluble sodium salt.
  • Oxidized cellulose is a polymeric dglucuronic acid.
  • the formula for alginic acid, of which algin is the sodium salt, may be represented as follows:
  • hydrophilic macromolecular compounds 2 molecular I mean a colloidal or "polymeric compound.
  • the general method for'the preparation of a mixed grain emulsion according to my invention involves the preparation of two'or more silver halide emulsions sensitive to diiierent regions of the spectrum. These emulsions may be prepared in gelatin as a carrier for the silver halide in the usual way or the silver halide may be dispersed directly in the algin or sodium alginate. If the silver halide is dispersed in gelatin the emulsions are separately mixed with portions of the sodium alginate.
  • coupler is added to each emulsion and the emulsions are then mixed with gelatin or other water-permeable carrier containing a water-soluble salt of a metal capable of forming a colorless, insoluble salt with the sodium alginate.
  • gelatin or other water-permeable carrier containing a water-soluble salt of a metal capable of forming a colorless, insoluble salt with the sodium alginate.
  • This forms an insoluble salt of the alginate, and the sensitized silver halide and coupler are retained in the insoluble salt of alginate thus formed.
  • the mixture is homogenized, resulting in a dispersion in gelatin or other carrier used, of particles of insoluble alginate containing sensitized silver halide and coupler.
  • T'he water-soluble salt of a metal, used to form the insoluble alginate may be calcium chloride, calcium acetate, aluminum acetate or Water-soluble salts of zirconium, barium, zinc or tin.
  • the coupler added to the emulsion may be one which is non-diffusing in the gelatinas described in British Patent 503,752 or the "emulsion may be prepared using a method such as that described in Jelley and Vittum U. S. Patent 2,322,027.
  • the couplers listed in the Jelley and Vittum patent may be used in my process.
  • the dispersion may also be made with the couplers described in Peterson U. @S. Patents-2,308,023; 2,296,306; and 2,353,754..
  • the silver halide mulsions employed in my process may be sensitized to the blue, green and red regions of the spectrum With non-wandering sensitizers in the customary manner.
  • a green sensitizer 5- [:3'- ethyl-2-(3)-benzoxazolylidenel ethylidene 3- n-heptyl-l-phenyl-Z-thiohydantoin may be used,
  • Example 2 The general procedure of Example 1 was followed except that calcium acetate solution was added to the plain gelatin solution through a very fine orifice and the emulsion in algin solution was added dropwise simultaneously into the same gelatin solution always keeping the calcium acetate solution in slight excess in the reacting medium. The dispersion prepared in this way was coated, exposed and developed.
  • Example 3 I To 100 cc. of a red-sensitive gelatino silver bromide-emulsion prepared as described in Example 1, there was added 1.0 gram of algin which was thoroughly stirred into the emulsion. This mixture was then added to 100 cc. of 5% gelatin solution in a Waring Blendor running at high speed. After a minute or two, 10 cc. of 10% calcium acetate solution were added and stirring was continued for about two minutes.
  • a sensitive photographic element comprising a single emulsion layer capable of reproducing colors of different regions of the spectrum
  • said layer comprising a water-permeable colloidal material containing particles of insoluble salt of a polymeric G-carbon-atom aldehyde carboxylic acid 1 having dispersed therein silver ha ide grains sensitive to a region of the visible spectrum and a color former capable of coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino developing agent to form a dye image, and at least one other group of separate particles of said insoluble salt having dispersed therein silver halide grains sensitive to a different region of the visible spectrum than said first-mentioned grains and a color former capable of coupling to form a different dye image than said first-mentioned color former.
  • a sensitive photographic element comprising a single emulsion layer capable of reproducing colors of different regions of the spectrum, said layer comprising a water-permeable colloidal material containing particles of insoluble salt of alginic acid having dispersed therein silver halide grains sensitive to a region of the visible spectrum and a color former capable of coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino developing agent to form a dye image and at least one other group of separate particles of said insoluble salt having dispersed therein silver halide grains sensitive to a difierent region of the visible spectrum than said first-mentioned grains and a color former capable of coupling to form a different dye image than said first-mentioned color former.

  • the method of forming a mixed grain photographic emulsion which comprises dispersing in a gelatino-silver halide emulsion sensitized to a region of the visible spectrum, a color former cap-able of coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino developing agent to form a dye image, mixing said emulsion with a water-soluble salt of a polymeric S-carbonatom aldehyde carboxylic acid to form a mixture, and dispersing said mixture in gelatin containing a water-soluble metal salt capable of forming a water-insoluble metal salt of said carboxylic acid, dispersing in at least one other gelatino-silver halide emulsion sensitized to a difierent region of the visible spectrum, a color former capable of coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amino developing agent to form a dye image difierent from said first-mentioned dye image, mixing said other emulsion with a second portion of water-soluble salt of polymeric
