Definitions

  • This invention relates to photographic elements, and more particularly to photographic silver halide emulsions coated on polyester film base, which emulsions are protected against fog caused by contaminants in the film base.
  • fog refers to silver salt reduced during development of photographic emulsions in areas where no exposure is given
  • fog inhibiting agent and antifoggant refer to a compound added to an emulsion which tends to inhibit'spontane'ous growth "of fog during prolonged storage. Fog tends to increase with r time and temperature in storage conditions; it iscommon,
  • polyester films have good physical properties, such as excellent dimensional stability, which render such films highly useful as supports for photographic silver halide emulsions.
  • polyester films commonly contain various side reaction products which may be formed during synthesis of the polyester as well as catalyst residue. Some or all of these constituents may serve to fog emulsions coated on polyester supports, particularly at low humidity, even though a barrier layer such as a conventional subbing layer is interposed between the support and the emulsion coating. The fog caused by the contaminant or contaminants in polyester film is not satisfactorily inhibited by conventional fog inhibiting agents. It therefore appears desirable to provide photographic elements comprising silver halide emulsions coated on polyester supports, which emulsions do not tend to fog.
  • One object of our invention is to provide photographic elements comprising photographic silver halide emulsion coated on polyester film base, which emulsion is protected against fogging caused by contaminants in the film base.
  • Another object of our invention is to provide fog inhibiting agents for photographic silver halide emulsions which prevent fogging of the emulsion when coated on the polyester film base.
  • Other objects of our invention will appear herein.
  • a polyester film base having a photographic silver halide emulsion thereon containing as an antifoggant a compound selected from the group consisting of parabanic acid, hydantoin and compounds having the following general formula:
  • Z represents the atoms required to complete a heterocyclic ring, such as R and R each are selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl, :propyl, butyl, amyl, octyl, decyl and dodecyl, substituted alkyl, such as carboxyethyl, sulfopropyl or sulfobutyl, aryl, such as phenyl or naphthyl, and substituted aryl, such as benzyl; and monoacyl and diacyl derivatives of compounds having the above general formula, such as the monoand di-acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, valeryl, caprylyl, capryl and lauryl derivatives of such compounds;
  • Typical specific useful compounds having the above general formula include urazole, 4-phenyl urazole, l-phenyl ura
  • Tl'llS is illustrated in Table 3.
  • polyester film base and hydantoin and parabainic acid substantially reduce such fog. It is also shown that these antifoggants function without substantially altering other sensitometric characteristics of the emulsion.
  • a coarse grain silver bromoiodide gelatin emulsion of the type used for screen X-ray materials was prepared and divided into several- Test compounds were added to separate porportions. tions of this emulsion in the concentrations shown in the following table. Each portion was coated on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) film support (Kodak Estar). A sample of each coating was exposed on an Eastman 1B sensitometer and processed for 6 minutes in Kodak. De-
  • the compounds in accordance with the invention eifectively reduced fog caused by contaminants in the polyester film base, whereas phthalimide, which is closely related to the compounds of the invention, completely failed to reduce such fog.
  • a red sensitive sulfur-gold sensitized silver bromoiodide gelatin emulsion was prepared containing an incorporated phenolic cyan coupler of the type described in US. Patent 2,474,293. The emulsion was divided into two parts. Urazole was added to one part at a concentration of 3 g./mole of silver halide. The emulsions were coated on a cellulose acetate support and also on a polyethylene terephthalate support (Estar). A sample of each coating was exposed on an intensity scale sensitometer and color developed in the usual manner with the following results.
  • This invention is generally applicable to silver halide emulsions but is especially useful with silver bromoiodide emulsions, particularly with high speed bromoiodide emulsions.
  • the special antifoggants of the invention are most useful in concentrations of from about 0.01 to about 5 g. per gram moleof silver halide in the emulsion.
  • Optimum concentrations of fog inhibiting agent are about 0.05 to 3.5 g. per gram mole of silver halide.
  • the film supports employed in the photographic elements of the invention are the polyester film supports including the polymers composed of bi-functional dicarboxylic acids and glycol substituents, such as polyesters prepared from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and terepht-halic acid.
  • Especially useful film supports are poly(alkylene terephthalate), poly(ethylene terephthalate) being particularly suitable.
  • various side reaction products are formed which remain in the film and act as contaminants which have a tendency to cause fog when photographic silver halide emulsions are coated thereover.
  • polyester film suitable for photographic supports may be from about 1 to 15 mils thick, and preferably are about 2 to 11 mils thick.
  • the emulsion of the photographic element of the invention may contain conventional emulsion addenda, e.g., sensitizers, coating aids, ultraviolet absorbers and the like. While it is preferred to employ gelatin as the hydrophilic carrier for the present emulsions, any of the well known gelatin substitutes such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, cellulosic materials and the like, and mixtures thereof, can also be used.
  • a photographic element comprising a silver halide emulsion coated on a linear polyester film support, which polyester contains contaminants which tend to cause fogging of the silver halide emulsion, said emulsion containing a fog-stabilizing quantity of a compound selected from the group consisting of hydantoin; parabanic acid; compounds having the following general formula:
  • Z represents the atoms required to complete a heterocyclic ring, and R is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl and substituted aryl; and the monoacyl and diacyl derivatives of compounds having the above formula.
  • a photographic element comprising a light sensitive silver halide emulsion coated on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) film support, said support containing contaminants which tend to cause fogging of the emulsion, said emulsion containing a stabilizing quantity of a compound selected from the group consisting of hydantoin; parabanic acid; compounds having the following general formula:
  • Z represents the atoms required to complete a heterocyclic ring, and R is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl and substituted aryl; and the monoacyl' and diacyl derivatives of compounds having the above formula.
  • a photographic element omprising a light sensitive silver halide emulsion containing about 0.05- .0 g. urazole per gram mole of silver halide, said emulsion being coated on a poly (ethylene terephthalate) film support, which support contains contaminants which tend to cause fogging of the emulsion.
  • a photographic element comprising a light sensitive silver halide emulsion containing about 0.05-5 .0 g. 4-phenylurazole per gram mole of silver halide, said emulsion being coated on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) film support, which support contains contaminants which tend to cause fogging of the emulsion.
  • a photographic element comprising a light sensitive silver halide emulsion containing about 0.05-5 .0 g. 4-ethylurazole per gram mole 'of silver halide, said emulsion being coated on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) film support, which support contains contaminants which tend to. cause fogging of the emulsion.
  • a photographic element comprising a light sensitive 1 compound which stabilizes against fog is present in a layer wherein Z represents the atomsrequired to complete a heterocyclic ring, and R is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, substituted alkyl, and aryl and substituted aryl; and the monoacyl and diacyl derivatives of compounds having the above formula.
