Definitions
- This invention relates to photographic emulsions and more particularly to silver halide emulsions containing amine and quaternary ammonium derivatives of vinyl alcohol/allyl glycidyl ether copolymers.
- Gelatin has generally been employed as the protective colloid for photosensitive silver halide since it has the ability to form a thin coating containing dispersed silver halide. Gelatin has good water permeability coupled with insolubility at relatively low temperatures. However, photographic'emulsions based on gelatin are somewhat brittle, unstable, susceptible to decomposition by bacteria andvfungi, difficult to maintain and process under conditions of high humidity and temperature.
- An object of this invention is to provide new synthetic colloid-silver halide emulsions. Another object is to provide such emulsions which have good sensitivity and speed characteristics. I A further object is to provide such emulsions to which substantial amounts of water-permeabl'e colloids can be added. A related object is to provide such emulsions which can be made ready for coating by the addition of substantial amounts of polyvinyl alcohol or water-soluble or hydrophilic acetals. Still other objects will be apparent from the folowing description of the invention.
- photosensit ive emulsions are obtained by the dispersion of a photosensitive silver halide in a protective colloid system that is substantially gelatin free and contains at least 1% and preferably 10-50% or more of an ammonia, monoamine, or quaternary ammonium derivative of a hydrolyzed polyvinyl ester/allyl glycidyl ether copolymer in which the copolymer ratio of allyl glycidyl ether to vinyl ester groups is within the range of from A to A.
- hydrolyzed copolymers just described by reason of the large initial proportion of vinyl ester units, may be called amineor quaternary ammonium-modified polyvinyl alcohols. Theyare'98 to100% hydrolyzed and consist essentially of recurringintralinear units of the formulae: 1
- the photosensitive compositions can be prepared by precipitating light-sensitive silver halide in an aqueous solution of the'hydrolyzed copolymers described above or by admixing an aqueous dispersion of silver halide with an aqueous solution of such copolymers.
- the resulting solution can be admixed with or bulked up with additional copolymer or with a different Water-permeable colloid and made ready for coating on a suitable sheet support, e. g., film or paper, by admixing therewith a sensitizing dye or dyes, color-former, sulfur sensitizer and other emulsion adjuvants.
- the solutions can be admixed with polyvinyl acetal color-formers to form color-forming emulsion layers.
- Example I A solution containing 50 parts of a 2.5% solution of the quaternary ammonium-modified polyvinyl alcohol prepared by hydrolysis from vinyl acetate/allyl glycidyl ether of 91.4/ 8.6 composition (described in Webers U. S. Patent 2,676,166) and dimethylaminoacetamide, 23 parts of 3 N ammonium bromide, 1.2 parts of 0.5 N potassium iodide and 50 parts of water is treated with a solution of the soluble complex formed by adding 20% ammonium hydroxide to 10 parts 3 N silver nitrate until the precipitate which is originally formed is completely redissolved and 50 parts of water.
- the emulsion is ripened essed bystandard photographic methods, a black and white, image of good gradation is obtained and the photographic speed of the emulsion is found to be four times as fast as a control emulsion made in completely hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol without the amine-modified polyvinyl alcohol.
- Example II Photographic silver halides are prepared as described in assignees Weaver application Ser. No. 362,151, filed June 16, 1953, now U. S.

- the silver halides are ripened by stirring slowly at 30 C. for 30 minutes.
- the precipitate of silver halides is allowed to settle and separated by decantation and Washed with water, again al lowing to settle and decanting.
- To /2 of the silver halide precipitate is added a solution consisting of 5 parts (by weight) of the quaternary ammonium-modified polyvinyl alcohol derived from a vinyl acetate/allyl glycidyl ether copolymer (91.4/ 8.6) and a mixture of dimethylaminoacetamide and triethylamine (1/ 3) followed by hydrolysis, dissolved in 10 parts of ethanol and parts of water.
- the dispersion is stirred for one hour at C., treated with 70 parts of a 5% aqueous solution of completely hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol, having a viscosity between 12 and 50 poises, and stirred an additional hour at 60 C.
- Coating aids are added, the viscosity of the emulsion is adjusted by adding 20% ethanol, and a coating is made on a transparent film support.
- the speed of this film is about ten times that of a control emulsion in which the second half of the silver halides was dis persed in polyvinyl alcohol alone and no quaternary ammonium-modified polyvinyl alcohol was employed.
- Example III A mixture of 200 parts of isopropyl alcohol and 100 parts of a 55.5% solution of a vinyl acetate/allyl glycidyl ether copolymer (4.6% allyl glycidyl ether) in methyl ethyl ketone is stirred at room temperature and treated with a solution of 8 parts (by weight) of triethylamine in 50 parts of isopropyl alcohol and 5 parts of distilled water. The reaction mixture is heated under reflux for 5 hours to bring about amination (quaternization) of the glycidyl ether groups.
- Hydrolysis of the vinyl acetate groups is accomplished by adding a solution of 10 parts (by weight) of sodium methylate in 50 parts of isopropyl alcohol and stirring at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
- the hydrolysis can be carried. out. by adding the polymer solution to a methanol solution of sodium methylate.
- the product is separated by filtration and purified by dissolving in a small amount of water and precipitating with methanol and acetone.
- the product is finally washed with methanol and acetone and when dried, about parts (by weight) of slightly yellow-colored polymer is obtained. From the nitrogen content of the polymer, 76% of the allyl glycidyl ether groups in this polymer are substituted with quaternary ammonium groups.
- Silver halides are preparedas described in Example H and the precipitate retained after decantation is treated with 10 parts of a 5% aqueous solution of the hydrolyzed quaternary copolymer, and a suitable sulfur sensitizer and stirred. at 40?. C. for. 15 minutes; The dispersion is treated. with lparts:of a 5% solution of a yellow color-forming polyvinyl acetal (i. e., one of those described in the examples of U. S; Patent 2,465,067) and stirred at 50 C. for 15 minutes.
- a yellow color-forming polyvinyl acetal i. e., one of those described in the examples of U. S; Patent 2,465,067
- the viscosity of the emulsion is adjusted with 20% ethanol, 4 parts of a 1% solution of C-cetyl betaine (coating assistant) and an antifogging agent are added and the emulsion is coated on a transparent support. Exposure in a camera and standard photographic processing produces negatives of good gradation from which acceptable photographic prints can be made.

- Example VI The amine of ExampleIII is replaced by an equivalent amount of methylamine and the reaction mixture is stirred and refluxed while a slow stream of methylamine is introduced during a period of 6 hours. The reaction mixture is allowed to stand overnight and refluxed an additional hour. The aminated copolymer is hydrolyzed and isolated as described in Example III. Analysis for nitro gen indicates that about 78% of the glycidyl groups are converted to methylamino groups. When the: amino polymer is employed in the preparation of'a photographic emulsion utilizing preformed silver halides as described in Example III, emulsion coatings are obtained which can be exposed and processed to images of good density and gradation which. are superior to a control emulsion.
- Example VII A mixture of 100'parts' (by weight) of vinyl acetate/ allyl glycidyl ether (/5) polymer solution (66% solids in methyl ethyl ketone), 105 parts of isopropyl alcohol and parts of concentrated ammonium hydroxide is stirred at room temperature for one hour and allowed to stand overnight. After heating at 70-75 C. for one The mixture is refluxed under a constant hour, the reaction mixture is concentrated under partial vacuum to remove ammonia and solvent. Isopropyl alcohol (100 parts) is added and the solution again concentrated under vacuum. Methanol (200 parts) is added speed, gamma, fog and density characteristics as compared to-a control emulsion containing no amino polymer.
