2. Description of the Prior Art The principal object of this invention is to improve the wettability of a photographic base material, such as polyethylene film or polyethylene laminated paper, by undercoating solutions and light-sensitive emulsions.
Since polyethylene possesses very low polarity and wettability by water, as is well known, the use of polyethylene film or polyethylene-coated paper as photographic base materials encounters the disadvantages that light-sensitive emulsions or undercoating solutions cannot be coated uniformly, since sufficient adhesion of the light-sensitive emulsion or undercoating layers to the polyethylene surface cannot be obtained.
For the purpose of overcoming these disadvantages, British Pat. No. 971,058 discloses that the contact angle of water to the polyethylene surface is reduced by electron radiation. The reductionof the contact angle which can be obtained by this vmethod, however, is limited and it is very difficult to reduce the contact angle to less than 50.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION cmooo x (I) in which R is a hydrocarbon group, preferably an alkyl group of eight to 22 carbon atoms, R is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, M is an organic amino group or a metal, p and q are integers, preferably from one to five, x is preferably from one to three, y is preferably one, or, when M is a metal, x and y are numbers determined by its valence, followed by the preparation of a base material having a surface comprising this mixture, such as a film or laminated paper, and subjecting such surface to a corona discharge treatment.
As organic amino groups represented by R in the above formula, there may be mentioned alkyl amino groups, such as diethylamino and butylamino, alkanolamino groups, such as diethanolamino and propanolamino and the like.
As metals represented by R in the above formula, there may be mentioned such metals as calcium, magnesium, aluminum, tin, zinc, iron, copper, lead, barium and the like.
Although the above mentioned material (I) has the effect of improving the wettability of polyethylene, the addition of larger amounts of such compounds to polyethylene tends to result in a deterioration of the adhesiveness of the polyethylene to light-sensitive emulsion or undercoating layers. Therefore, the amount thereof to be added is limited.
In accordance with the method of the present invention, however, it is possible to improve effectively the wettability of the surface of a polyethylene film or polyethylene laminated paper by light-sensitive emulsions without lessening the adhesiveness thereto.
Material in accordance with the foregoing structural formula (I) can be synthesized by reacting a higher alkylamine with ethylene oxide of propylene oxide, reacting the product with monochloroacetic acid or its sodium salt and subjecting the resulting reaction product to neutralization with an organic amine, or to double decomposition, to thus obtain the corresponding salt. The following reaction schema illustrates this process.

The product was then double-decomposed with calcium chloride to obtain the following compound.
Any of these compounds may be blended in polyethylene in accordance with this invention. A very small amount of these compounds is sufficient to achieve the object of the invention. Preferred amounts to be incorporated are 0.3 to 0.5% by weight based on the weight of the polyethylene. In the case of a polyethylene laminated paper, it has been found that the addition of more than l% by weight results in gradual deterioration in the adhesiveness between the polyethylene and the paper, although wetting by an emulsion or undercoating agent coated thereon is improved. The advantages of this invention can be realized, however, even at proportions exceeding 1%, to some extent. Moreover, the lower limit may be extended, for example, to about 0.1%. Addition of the compound may, as occasion demands, be carried out after it is dispersed or dissolved in a high boiling organic solvent. The compound, after being added to the polyethylene, is kneaded therewith in an extruder such as those used in film making or film applying.
The photographic base material of the present invention is a base material, the surface of which, at least, comprises polyethylene containing the foregoing compound. As examples of such materials may be mentioned polyethylene film and polyethylene-coated paper, cloth, wood and metal. In the method of the invention, this base material is subjected to a corona discharge, whereby the wettability of the polyethylene surface by light-sensitive emulsions and aqueous undercoating solutions is improved.
The following examples are presented in order to further i1- lustrate the invention without limiting the same.

(NUC-8008, having a density [ASTM-D-l505-60T] of 0.918 and amelt index [ASTM D-l23857T] of 5.0) and extruded and applied at LII 30C. to a raw base paper of 180 g/m so as to provide a film thickness of about 30 microns, by the use of a T-die extruder. For comparison, a laminated paper was prepared using the polyethylene free from material A. The contact angle with water was measured for both the samples, before and after being subjected to corona discharge treatment.
The corona discharge treatment was carried out at a discharge power of 35 W, 70 W and 180 W by means of a discharge apparatus made by Lepel Highfrequency Laboratories, Inc. while moving polyethylene laminated paper of 30 cm in width at a rate of 10 m/min through an air gap of 0.8 mm.
The contact angles of water to the surface of the laminated papers treated as above are tabulated below.

When a 2% aqueous solution of gelatin as an undercoating solution was coated onto the foregoing samples at a rate of 25 m/min, only the samples in which the contact angle had been reduced to or less by the method of this invention exhibited good wettability.
EXAMPLE 2 (CHzCHzOhlI CHILD-N (G1I2ClIzO)21I O [I GU20 O O 3 were mixed, respectively, with parts of high density polyethylene resin pellets manufactured by Showa Denko Co., Ltd. (Sholex 6050, having a density [ASTM-Dl505-6OT] 0.960 and a melt index [ASTM-D-l238-57T] of 5.0) and then formed into films of about 0.1 mm in thickness by the use of a T-die type extruder of 65 mm.. Similarly, a material B- free film was prepared for comparison.
The contact angle was measured for the resulting samples, before and after being subjected to discharge treatment at W by the same apparatus as that of Example 1, to obtain the results tabulated below.
(to 100 parts of polyethylene) After the foregoing samples were respectively coated with a photographic light-sensitive emulsion and dried, the adhesive strengths of the emulsions to the polyethylene surfaces were measured to obtain the results tabulated below (by a Schoppers tension tester).

The method of preparing the emulsion was conventional and included sensitization with sulphur and a gold salt and the incorporation of saponin as a wetting agent and formaldehyde as a hardening agent, as is well known in the art. The pH of the prepared emulsion was 6.0.
