Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a method for preparing light-sensitive elements and more particua surface active agent thus incorporated does not reduce the photographic properties of the photographic light-sensitive element not reduce the speed of forming the color images on developing the photographic light-sensitive element.
  • R-I- R'o rr 011260 wherein R represents an alkyl group having more than 6 carbon atoms, R represents ethylene or propylene, and p+q is a positive integer larger than 5, excellent for improving the coating properties of the coating composition, is inadequate for color photography since it diminishes the clarity of the colors and it accelerates the fading of the color image due to heat and moisture exposure thereby reducing the life or stability of the color photograph. It is believed that the deleterious results are caused by the bleaching or silver-removing power of the surface active agent by oxidation during the developing process.
  • an aqueous emulsified dispersion of the coupler is prepared with an oily material and an anionic surface active agent which is added to the photographic silver halide emulsion.
  • an anionic surface active agent shown by the general Formula A mentioned above is incorporated into the photographic silver halide emulsion, the
  • colloidal stability of the dispersed coupler is reduced, causing aggregation of the coupler during developing and reduction in transparency of the emulsion layers after developing.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an amphoteric surface active agent in a photographic coating composition for improving the coating properties thereof without the aforesaid disadvantages.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a photographic light-sensitive element, in particular, a color photographic light-sensitive element, by employing the aforesaid amphoteric surface active agent for improving the coating property of the photographic coating composition without reducing either the photographic properties of the light-sensitive element or the fastness of the color images.
  • the synthesis (i) mentioned above may be conducted by the method described in Kogyo Kagaku Zasshi (Journal of Industrial Chemistry); vol. 63, 595-600 (1960), and the synthesis (ii) may be conducted by the method described in Kogyo Kagaku Zasshi; vol. 60, 909 (1957).
  • the compound represented by the aforesaid general Formula B may be incorporated in any coating composition of a photographic light-sensitive element but is more suitably incorporated into a photographic silver halide emulsion. It is particularly suitable for photographic silver halide emulsions in which the second ripening has been finished immediately before coating. Furthermore, the novel surface active agent of this invention, if desired, may be used together with other conventional surface active agents.
  • amphoteric surface active agent is varied in accordance with various conditions, such as the type of coating composition, the manner of coating and the like, but in general the addition of 0.01- 0.2% by weight of the surface active agent based on the weight of the coating composition gives the best effect. This amount corresponds to 0.1-2.0 g. per one kg. of gelatin in the coating composition.
  • a photographic emulsion containing the aforesaid surface active agent can be uniformly applied to a support with a high speed without deleterious effect on the photographic properties of the light-sensitive element.
  • color images having good fastness can be obtained after developing the color photographic light-sensitive element containing the surface active agent of this invention.
  • amphoteric surface active agent used in this invention causes few undesirable reactions with other additives of the emulsion, difficulties otherwise encountered during production of photographic light-sensitive elements are reduced.
  • Example 1 An emulsifier dispersion prepared by dispersing a solution of 2.3 g. of a cyan coupler having the following in 5.0 ml. of tri-ortho-cresylphosphate ester in 40 ml. of an aqueous gelatin solution containing 0.2 g. of sodium n-dodecylbenzene sulfinate was added to 100 g. of a red-sensitive photographic emulsion containing 7 g. of gelatin and 5 g. of silver chlorobromide.
  • the colored samples thus obtained were subjected to the following fading tests: (A) the sample was maintained for days under the conditions of 60 C. and 75% relative humidity; and (B) the sample was maintained for four hours at 120 C.
  • the results are shown in the following table in which the initial optical density of the cyancolored image was 2.0.
  • Example 2 Into a red-sensitive emulsion containing the coupler as shown in Example 1 were added 2.0 ml. of a 1% solution of each of Compounds I, II, III, and V, and 2.0 ml. of a 1% solution of a surface active agent having the following formula The coating composition thus prepared was applied to a triacetyl cellulose film at C. and set at 5 C. To the thus coated wet emulsion layer a coating composition prepared by adding 2 ml. of a 1% solution of a surface active agent, n-dodecylbenzene sulfonate, to 100 g. of a 2% gelatin solution was applied with various coating speeds.
  • a coating composition prepared by adding 2 ml. of a 1% solution of a surface active agent, n-dodecylbenzene sulfonate, to 100 g. of a 2% gelatin solution was applied with various coating speeds.
  • the colloidal stability of the coupler-containing the emulsified dispersion was signifivantly better than the conventional compound V. Further, the emulsion layer formed by the present invention has good transparency.
  • Example 4 An emulsified dispersion prepared by dispersing a solution of 2.0 g. of a yellow coupler having the formula:
  • Each of the emulsion samples thus prepared was mixed with 5 ml. of a 1% solution of compound I, II or V and 3 ml. of a 3% acetate solution of triethylene phosphorous amide, and the mixture was applied to a triacetyl cellulose film followed by drying to provide a light-sensitive film.
  • the light-sensitive film was then blue-exposed stepwise and processed as in Example 1 to provide a yellow image.
  • the blue density D and red density D of the image were measured, the results of which are shown in the following table.
  • the blue density D shows the relative strength of yellow coupling and the red density D shows the relative density of a silver image remaining after processing.
  • a photographic coating composition comprising a gelatin containing silver halide emulsion and a minor amount of a surface active agent having the formula:
  • tive agent is present in an amount of 0.0 10.2% by weight based on the weight of the coating composition.
  • composition of claim 1 wherein said silver halide is silver ehlorobromide.
  • composition of claim 1 wherein said silver halide is silver iodobromide.
  • composition of claim 7 wherein said coupling agent is a cyan coupler having the formula:
  • a photographic element comprising a support having applied thereto a photographic coating compositioncomprising a gelatin containing silver halide emulsion and a minor amount of a surface active agent having the formula:
  • R is an alkyl group having 8-20 carbon atoms and p and q of each represent positive integers.
