Definitions

  • EMULSIONS SENSlTlZED WITH ETHYLENE OXID CONDENSATE This invention relates to photographic materials and more particularly to the production of photographic gelatino silver halide emulsions. It is of particular significance in the production of emulsions designed to record X-radiation and will be described with particular reference thereto.
  • a photographic gelatino silver halide emulsion may be increased by the addition to the emulsion of a nonionic wetting agent which is an ethylene oxide condensate or polyethylene oxide derivative.
  • a nonionic wetting agent which is an ethylene oxide condensate or polyethylene oxide derivative.
  • the ethylene oxide compounds increase both the speed of the emulsions and the contrast of the developed images, and this may be due to acceleration of development.
  • a process for the production of a gelatino silver halide emulsion which comprises forming the emulsion by a technique including a stepwherein the emulsion is sulfur sensitized, and adding to the emulsion (1) an ethylene oxide condensate in quantity sufficient to increase the speed of the emulsion and the contrast of images developed therein, and (2) at least 1 g. per gram mole of silverhalide present, of a compound of the general formula 1,--
  • R is an aryl group and R, is a lower alkyl group.
  • lower alkyl is meant an alkyl group containing up to six carbon atoms.
  • the preferred compound of formula I is phenobarbitone wherein R, is phenyl and R, is ethyl.
  • the compounds are preferably. added to the emulsion as aqueous solutions, to which end an equivalent of an alkali hydroxide is used.
  • the compounds may be used in the form of their soluble sodium salts.
  • an equivalent of an acid, such as HCl may also be added to maintain the pH of the emulsion at its original level.
  • ethylene oxide condensates and derivatives known from the literature to have a sensitizing effect on photographic silver halide emulsions may be employed.
  • Preferred compounds are ethylene oxide homopolymers which are marketed under the trade name Carbowax and having relatively high molecular weights, e.g. 4,000 or more.
  • derivatives such as the aromatic and alkyl ethers thereof, e.g. the commercial product Texofor F.60, are also of especial value. (The word Texofor is a Registered Trade Mark).
  • the quantity used will, of course, vary with the effect desired, but generally may be up to 20 grams of the condensate per gram mole of silver halide in the emulsion, e.g. 1 to 20 grams.
  • the quantity of the additive of the general formula given above will also vary with the circumstances, but will be at least 'iiiai'rarimlfgiveii'aba'v may be added to the emulsion at EXAMPLE
  • a gelatino silver iodobromide emulsion was prepared in a manner conventional for emulsions to be used for X-radiography.
  • the emulsion which was not color sensitized contained 200 g. of gelatin per gram mol of silver halide and was sensitized by means of sulfur compounds and gold salts in manner known per se.
  • the emulsion was divided into three parts:
  • Polyethylene oxide of molecular weight 6000 was added at the rate of 2 g. per gram mol of silver halide.
  • a gelatino silver halide emulsion which comprises forming the emulsion by a technique including a step wherein the emulsion is sulfur sensitized, and adding to the emulsion an ethylene oxide condensate sensitizer to increase the speed of the emulsion and the contrast of images developed therein, the improvement consisting of adding to the emulsion at least 1 g. per gram mole of silver halide present, of a compound of the formula:
