Definitions

  • This invention relates to color photography and particularly to mixed packet photographic emulsions.
  • mixed grain photographic emulsions that is, photographic systems in which difierently sensitized silver halide grains are incorporated in a single photographic emulsion layer and used to produce differently colored photographic images in the layer.
  • Mixed grain systems have a number of advantages, chief among which is the simplicity of coating 21 single emulsion layer rather than several layers. Other advantages are the improved definition obtained by having the difierently sensitized particles juxtaposed in a single layer, and the simplification of processing which is gen erally obtained.
  • a second fault with the solvent system is the fact that the dye formed in the image is in solution in the solvent and is therefore in a more reactive state and is subject to more rapid fading and print-out than a dye in the solid state.
  • a third difficulty with the solvent system is the fact that dispersing agents are used for dispersion of the coupler and these sometimes adversely afiect the stability of the sensitized emulsion insofar as speed and contrast are concerned.
  • a further object is to provide a novel method of incorporating couplers in silver halide emulsions.
  • a still further object. is to provide a novel mixed packet emulsion.
  • a further object is to provide a novel method of incorporating couplers in mixed packet emulsions.
  • a further object is to'lprovide mixed packet emulsions free of organic coupler so vent.
  • couplers 2,698,796 Patented Jan. 4, 1955 having a suflicient number of solubilizing groups so that they can easily be put into aqueous solution, and precipitating the couplers with a polyvinyl resin containing pyridylamine nuclei, such as polyvinyl-N-(a-pyridybamine, to, give a precipitate completely insoluble in water even when the excess precipitant is washed out, but which is still sufi'iciently self-dispersibleso that a satisfactorily fine dispersion can be made without recourse to dispersing agents.
  • a polyvinyl resin containing pyridylamine nuclei such as polyvinyl-N-(a-pyridybamine
  • the fine dispersion of coupler salt is then added to a colloid-silver halide emulsion in the presence of a water-soluble saltof a polymer containing salt-forming acid groups, e. g. a methylmethacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer, and a packet-forming component, e. g. a styrene-maleamic acid copolymer, to form particles of colloid, packet-forming component and silver halide containing the coupler salt.

  • the flask was stoppered again ':and the mixture refluxed at such a rate as to maintain the temperature of the distilling vapors at 78-80 C. After about 30 mins. the elimination of alcohol became very slow, and the remaining half of the amine was added.i It required a total heating time of 1.5-2.5 hrs. before all ofthe alcohol waseliminated; 40-50 cc. was collected. ; The reaction mixture was cooled with running water until 200 cc. of hen- Iene could be added safely and was well-stirred to prevent The yellumping while the mixture. was cooledftciflO" C. low precipitate was filtered, washed figithSOO cc.

Then solutions of 46 g. (0.25 mole) of p-nitrobenzoyl chloride in 100 cc. of acetone and 20 g. (0.50 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 100 cc. of water were added simultaneously with stirring and cooling to keep the temperature below 23. The additions required twenty minutes.
  • the water-soluble polymer when mixed with the gelatin of the dispersion acts as a modifying agent so that small packets containing appropriately sensitized silver halide and color-forming coupler can be formed.
