Definitions

  • the present inventors made various studies to find that when ethylene oxide addition polymers of alkylphenol-formaldehyde condensates are incorporated into photographic silver halide emulsion layers or into layers adjacent to said emulsion layers, the films can be increased in gamma, effective sensitivity and maximum density with good stability and without fogging even when the films have been stored at high temperatures.
  • the compounds employed in the present invention have such features that they do not increase fog of silver halide emulsions due to lapse of time, are scarcely increased in amount to be added and hence are easily usable, and can improve the characteristics of photographic emulsions. Particularly, they show such prominent effects that they can give marked increase in maximum density and gamma which cannot be attained by use of conventional polyalkylene oxide compounds.
  • ethylene oxide addition polymers of alkylene-phenolformaldehyde condensates employed in the present invention are formed by the polymerization of structural units represented by the formula,
  • R is an alkyl group
  • R is an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom
  • n is an integer of l to 100, and those in which said structural units have been polymerized to an average polymerization degree in the range of 2 to are preferable.
  • These polymers are such that all the alkyl groups represented by R which are bonded to benzene nuclei of the structural units may be same or different.
  • These compounds can be synthesized according to the methods disclosed in US. Pat. No. 2,454,54l. Generally, the compounds are viscous paste-like, wax-like or semi-solid resins, and are soluble in water, acetone, alcohol, benzene and the like.

  • EXAMPLE 1 An emulsion for neutral process negative comprising 5 mole percent of silver iodide and mole percent of silver bromide was subjected to second ripening to attain the maximum sensitivity by means of a sulfur sensitizer and a gold sensitizer. Thereafter, the emulsion was divided into portions of g. each in weight. To each of the divided emulsions were individually added the present compounds shown in Table 1. After adding a suitable amount of saponin as a coating aid, each emulsion was uniformly coated under the same conditions onto a cellulose triacetate film base to prepare a sample.
  • the sample was exposed to light by means of a sensitometer KS-l (Manufactured and sold by Konishiroku Photo Industry Co., Ltd.) at Lux, 5,400 K and was then developed at 20 C. for 5 minutes with a developer of the following composition:

To each portion were individually added the present compounds as set forth in Table 2. Subsequently, 20 mg. per 100 g. of emulsion of 4-hydroxy-6- methyl-1,3,3a,7-tetrazaindene as a stabilizer was added, and then suitable amounts of a hardener and a coating aid were added to prepare an emulsion. This emulsion was uniformly coated on a cellulose triacetate film base and was then dried. Samples obtained in the above manner were subjected to incubation test at high temperature and humidity to obtain the results as set forth in Table 2. For comparison, a compound of the formula t ii (disclosed in British Pat. No. 805,826) was used to prepare a control sample.

  • the samples in accordance with the present invention give excellent light-sensitive photographic materials which are less in formation of fog due to lapse of time and free from degradation in sensitivity even when stored under severe conditions.
  • each sample was subjected to ordinary stopping, fixing, water-washing and bleaching treatments, was washed with flowing water for 20 minutes and was then dried to obtain a cyan image.
