In a specific aspect, this invention relates to fogged, direct-positive photographi silver halide emulsion layers having a binding agent comprising a hydrophilic colloid and a water-insoluble polymerized vinyl compound.
- Still another object of this invention is to provide a photographic element bearing a layer of a fogged, direct-positive photographic silver halide emulsion having a binding agent comprising a hydrophilic colloid and a water-inso uble polymerized vinyl compound.
- One embodiment of this invention relates to a fogged, direct-positive photographic silver halide emulsion in which the binding agent comprises a hydrophilic colloid "ice and an aqueous dispersion of polymerized vinyl com pound.
- Another embodiment of this invention relates to a photographic element comprising a support and at least one fogged, direct-positive photographic silver halide emulsion layer in which the binding agent comprises a hydrophilic colloid and water-insoluble polymerized vinyl compound.
- One component of the binding agent for the photographic silver halide emulsions described herein is an aqueous dispersion of polymeric vinyl compound.
- the preferred polymeric vinyl compounds are homo or copolymers prepared from acrylic acid and esters thereof. These polymers are insoluble in water and can be readily dispersed in water and mixed with a suitable hydrophilic colloid such as gelatin.
- the vinyl polymers are generally employed in concentrations in the range of about 20 to about most often concentrations at least 50%, by weight, based on the combined weight of hydrophilic colloid and polymerized vinyl compound.
- the remainder of the binding agent is a hydrophilic colloid such as gelatin, alone or with another photographic binding mat rial.
- a polymeric vinyl compound which contains, in polymerized form, at least 65%, preferably about 75 to about by weight, of an alkyl acrylate or methacrylate, as exemplified by ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, octyl 'methacrylate, and the like.
- Suitable ethylenically unsaturated comonomers which can be interpolymer ized with these materials to form water-insoluble addi 1 tion polymers include, for exampl vinyl esters, amides.
- nitriles ketones, halides, ethers, e o-unsaturated acids or esters thereof, olefins, diolefins and the like, as exemplified by acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, styrene, tat-methylstyrene, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, methyl vinyl ketone, vinyl acetate, fumaric, maleic and itaconic acid esters, 2 chloroethylvinylether, methylenemaleonitrile, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate, N-vinylsuccinimide, N-vinylphthalimide, N- vinylpyrrolidone, butadiene, isoprene, vinylidene cyanide and the like.
- the polymeric vinyl compounds most useful in the practice of this invention generally have an average molecular weight in the range of about 5000 to about 500,000 and a particle size in the dispersion which is generally less than about 1 micron, often less than about 100 m
- Many polymers of this type are disclosed in U.S. Pat. 3,142,568, issued July 28, 1964.
- a preferred class of vinyl polymers which can be employed in the practice of this invention are Water-insoluble interpolymers of acrylates or methacrylates with acrylic acid and a sulfobetaine having the formula:
- R, R and R are each hydrogen or alkyl and R and R are each divalent saturated hydrocarbon radicals, desirably containing up to 12 carbon atoms.
- Suitable sulfofetaine monomers include, for example, 5,5,l-trimethyl 9 oxo 8 oxa 5 azonia-lO-undecene-l-sulfonate, 4 t butyl 9 methyl 8 oxo 7 oxa-4-aza-9-decenel-sulfonic acid, 4,4,9 trimethyl 8-oxo-7-oxa-4-azonia-9- decene-l-sulfonate, and the like.
- the preferred polymers of this type contain, in polymerized form, at least 75%, preferably about 75 to about 93%, by weight, of acrylate or methacrylate, up to about preferably about 5 to about 15%, by weight, acrylic acid and up to about 10%, preferably about 2 to about 10%, by weight, of the sulfobetaine.
- a very convenient method for preparing the sulfobetaine monomers used in preparing the aforementioned preferred class of polymeric vinyl compounds comprises reacting the appropriate amino alkyl ester of an unsaturated carboxylic acid with the appropriate sultone.
- reaction can be carried out in the presence of an organic solvent such as acetonitrile, a liquid hydrocarbon or a ketone such as acetone at temperatures up to about 100" C., preferably 50 to about 80 C. In general, the reaction is complete in less than 8 hours, often in about 2 to about 6 hours. The reaction is not pressure dependent and therefore superatmospheric or subatmospheric pressures can be employed. The resulting sulfobetaine can be isolated by conventional procedures. The reactants are generally employed in stoichiometric concentrations although slight excesses of either reactant can be employed.
- reaction conditions for example, temperature, pressure, and the like, will depend upon the particular amino alkyl ester and sultone employed.
- Another class of polymeric vinyl compounds which is preferred in the practice of this invention is the interpolymers of; alkyl acrylates or methacrylates with sulfoesters having the formula: V
- alkyl radicals containing up to about l2 carbon atoms alkyl radicals containing up to about l2 carbon atoms
- R ' has its can be any aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic radical and will generally contain up .to about 12.carbon atoms.
- R radicals are alkylene radicals, generally those containing 2-4 carbons.
- R can also be a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon radical in which there is a O- and/or -S- radical and generally contains up to 12 carbon atoms.
- Such R radicals can, therefore, be saturated or unsaturated, althoughsaturated.
- divalent alkylene groups in which the carbon chain is interrupted by oxygen and sulfur atoms are preferred.
- Suitable R radicals include, for example, ethylene 1,3- propylene, 1,2-propylene, tetramethylene,
- 1,3-isobutylene pentamethylene, hexamethylene, octamethylene, phen ylene, bisphenylylene, naphthylene, cyclopentylene, cyclo hexylene, Z-butenylene, butynylene, 2-oxatrimethylene, 3""
- M is a cation, as exemplified by hydrogen, an alkali metal such as sodium or potassium, ammonium, the cation of an organic'arnine such as 'triethyl amine, diethanol amine and the like.
- the sulfoesters can be preparedusing any method knownto be-suitable for thlSPUIPOSESpFOI example, U.S. Pat. 2,923,734, issued Feb. 2, 1960, discloses the preparation of such esters by the reaction of an a-methylene carboxylic acid with an aliphatic hydroxy sulfonic acid while U.S. Pat. 3,024,221, issued Mar. 6,- 1962, discloses a method forv preparing the sulfoester by reacting the appropriate acyl halide With the salt of the hydroxy sulfonic .lacid.
- hydroxy 'sulfonic acids examples include 2-hydroxyethane sulfonic acid, Z-hydroxy-l-propane sulfonic acid, l-hydroxy '2 butane sulfonic acid, 2-hydroxycyclohexane sulfonic acid, p-phenolsulfonicacid,
- u-Methylene carboxylic acids or acyl halides include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, tit-butylacrylic acid, acyloyl chloride, methacryloyl bromide, ochexylacryloyl chloride and the like.
- the preferred class of polymers of the sulfoesters generally contains, in"
- polymeric form at least 65%,prefera'bly about to about by Weight, of the alkyl acrylate' or meth-- acrylate and up to about 15%, preferably about 5 to I about 15%,by weight, of the sulfoester.
- the temperature at -which the polymeric vinyl prepared is subject to-Wide variation since this temperacom pounds employed in the practice of this'invention are ture depends upon such variable: features as'the specific monomer used, duration of heating; pressureemployed andlike considerations. However; the polymerization" temperaturegenerall'y does not exceed about- C., r
- Thepoly'merization can be carried outin suitable" solvents or diluents, for example, wate'r or'frnixturesof water with' water miscible solvents, as-exemplifie'd by" methanol, "ethanol,” propanol, -isopr'opyl* alcohol, "fbutyl 1 alcohol, and the like.
- suitable solvents or diluents for example, wate'r or'frnixturesof water with' water miscible solvents, as-exemplifie'd by" methanol, "ethanol,” propanol, -isopr'opyl* alcohol, "fbutyl 1 alcohol, and the like.

- the free radical catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, water soluble azo type initiators and the like.
- the usual ingredients can be employed.
- the polymer can be isolated from the reaction vehicle by freezing, salting out, coagulation or by using other separation procedures suitable for this purpose.
- the photographic silver halide can be dispersed in the binding agent in a variety of ways, for example, an aqueous dispersion of the photographic silver halide in hydrophilic colloid, preferably gelatin, can be mixed with an aqueous dispersion of the polymeric vinyl compound. Alternatively, the photographic silver halide can be precipitated in an aqueous dispersion of the polymeric vinyl compound and hydrophilic colloid. In this case, a Water soluble silver salt such as silver nitrate is admixed with the silver halide such as potassium bromide in the presence of the mixture.
- the photographic silver halide is precipitated in hydrophilic colloid, e.g., an aqueous gelatin solution, and digested in the conventional manner known to the art. After digestion, but prior to coating, there is added to the emulsion an aqueous dispersion of the polymeric vinyl compound. The bulk of the resulting dispersion can be increased by the addition of more of the polymeric vinyl compound and/or natural or synthetic colloid or other binding material suitable for use in photographic silver halide emulsions. l
- the hydrophilic colloid which constitutes one com ponent of the binding agent for the photographic silver halide emulsion described herein is preferably gelatin.
- the binding agent can also comprise other binding materials such as natural and/ or synthetic water soluble polymers, particularly water soluble vinyl polymers, as exemplified by mono and polysaccharides, cellulose derivatives, proteins, water soluble polyacrylamides, polyvinyl pyrrolidones, and the like.

- the photographic silver halide emulsions can be lithographic silver halide emulsions in which the halides generally comprise a mixture of chloride and bromide.
- Such high contrast emulsions preferably contain less than mole percent iodide.
- photographic silver halide emulsions can contain silver halide grains which form latent images predominantly on the surface of the grains or those which form latent images predominantly inside the silver halide crystals, as exemplified by those described in Davey and Knott U.S. Pat. 2,592,250, issued Apr. 8, 1852, Luckey and Hoppe U.S. Pat. 2,996,302, issued Aug. 15, 1961, and Luckey and Hoppe U.S. Pat. 3,178,282, issued Apr. 13, 1965.

(0.10 mole) of 1,3-propane sultone and 15.7 g.
- the sulfobetaine monomer is copolymerized with alkyl acrylate and acrylic acid to form the polymerized vinyl compound using the following procedure: 375 ml. of distilled water is placed in a flask, heated to 80 C. and degassed with nitrogen. Then 3.9 ml. of Triton 770 (40% solution), 1.5 g. of potassium persulfate and 0.5 g. of sodium bisulfite are added in the order given. After the additions, the following two solutions are added under nitrogen with vigorous stirring over 12 minutes: 1) a solution of 138.6 g. of n-butyl acrylate and 15.4 g. of acrylic acid and (2) 3.9 m1. of Triton 770 (40% solution) and 12.5 g.
