Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for incorporating substances in materials which are used to form photographic layers and auxiliary layers.
- colour couplers such as colour couplers, UV absorbers, white toners and similar additives may be incorporated in gelatine solutions by using so-called oil forming agents.
- colour couplers are incorporated in water-soluble colloidal materials commonly used in the production of photographic products by dissolving the colour coupler in an organic liquid of relatively high boiling point which is insoluble in water, and emulsifying or dispersing the solution in the colloidal material.
- hydrophilic developers e.g.
- N-butyl-N-w-sulphobutylp-phenylenediamine penetrate the oil droplets only to a slight extent, if at all. This causes loss in sensitivity, flattening of the gradation and a reduced image density. Also, residues of hydrophobic developer may be retained in the droplets and cause fogging when the photographic material is treated in oxidising bleaching baths.
- Hydrophilic substances such as colour couplers which carry a carboxyl group are incorporated in gelatine in the form of their sodium salts. Since the gelatine solutions are subsequently adjusted to a pH of 6.2 to 6.5, these compounds are generally present in microcrystalline distribution.
- the protective colloidal action of gelatine is in many cases insufiicient, so that recrystallisation occurs influencing sensitivity, gradation and colour brilliance in an uncontrollable manner.
- hydrophilic substances of the above mentioned types moreover, have the property of increasing the viscosity of the casting solution, in some cases to such an extent that such solutions can no longer be worked up.
- R represents an alkyl or alkylene group which has 1 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 5 to 12 carbon atoms and is branched and may be substituted, preferably by OH and/or OR groups
- R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or alkylene group which has 1 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 5 to 12 carbon atoms and is branched and may be substituted, preferably by OH and/or OR groups
- Q represents an alkyl group which has 1 to 9 carbon atoms and may be substituted, preferably by COOH, or one of the groups COX or -CH COX in which X may have the following meaning: (1) a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group with 1 to 18 carbon atoms and preferably 5 to 12 carbon atoms, (2) an O-alkylene-[O-alkylene] -O-alkyl group in which the alkylene and alkyl radical preferably contain 1 to 4 carbon atoms and n denotes 0 to 10,
- alkyl radical may contain up to 21 carbon atoms, is preferably branched and may in turn be substituted as may also the aryl radical, especially with such groups as OH, COOH, OCH CN and phenyl,
- a hydrazine group which may be substituted by an alkyl group preferably having 1 to 5 carbon atoms or by the group which alkyl substituents may in particular be substituted by OH, COOH, OCH and CEN groups,
- the radical i-C H appearing in many compounds in the above list represents the group l,1,3,5-tetramethylocten-(2)-yl whose structural formula is Versatic acid 911 is an isomeric mixture of highly branched tertiary and secondary carboxylic acids having 9 to 11 carbon atoms, and Versatic acid 1519 is a mixture of carboxylic acids of the same type having 15 to 19 carbon atoms.
- the method of preparation of the compounds used in the present invention is generally known.
- monoalkylated cyclic carboxylic acid anhydrides are reacted with alcohols or with amines.
- Emulsifiable substances such as colour couplers, UV absorbents, white toners or stabilisers are dissolved together with the compounds according to the present invention, in an organic solvent which is immiscible with water and emulsified with the casting solution for the photographic layer, using an emulsifying apparatus.
- the emulsifying apparatuses used for this purpose may, for example, be high speed stirrers, so-called mixing sirens, ultraturrax or ultrasound apparatuses.
- Hydrophilic substances e.g. the above mentioned colour couplers which contain carboxyl groups or hydrophilic substances such as colour couplers which contain SO H groups are incorporated by a different method.
- the compounds of the present invention are dissolved in an alkaline medium together with the additives which are present in an alkali soluble form and a wetting agent, and this solution is added with intensitive stirring to an acidified casting solution as explained above.
- the pH of the casting solution is thereby shifted to 6.2-6.5.
- Certain colour couplers which do not contain SO H or COOH groups and which are soluble in alkali as enolates can be incorporated in the same manner.
- the compounds of the present invention have the advantage that, apart from a very pronounced tendency to prevent crystallisation, especially in the presence of colour couplers which have been incorporated by emulsification, they do not prevent the coupling of oxidised colour developers.
- the compounds form soaps at alkaline pH values, i.e. during development.
- the additives used with the compounds according to the present invention do not separate out in an alkaline medium. They therefore also prevent precipitation of the dye produced or the appearance or turbulent colour surfaces. The separation of colour components by crystallisation which might otherwise occur even during digestion is also prevented.
- the compounds used according to the present invention cause neither flattening of the gradation nor reduction in the image density and in addition they substantially prevent the increase in viscosity which many colour couplers containing COOH or SO H groups cause during digestion.
- the compounds of the present invention are generally employed in the proportion of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per part by weight of the substance which is to be incorporated, the preferred range lying between 0.3 and 1 part by weight.
- the use of higher concentrations of up to 10 parts by weight is of interest in cases in which only small quantities of an additive, e.g. a sta-biliser, are to be incorporated into the casting solution.
- suitable organic solvents which are immiscible with Water are the chlorinated short-chained aliphatic compounds such as methylene dichloride, as well phatic compounds such as methylene di chloride, as well as ethyl acetate.
- the binder used for the photographic layers is preferably gelatine but this may be partly replaced by other film-forming natural or synthetic polymers.
- Suitable polymers for this purpose include alginic acid and its derivatives such as its salts, esters, or amides, carboxymethyl cellulose, alkyl cellulose, starch and its derivatives, polyvinyl alcohol, copolymers of vinyl alcohol and vinyl acetate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, anionic polyurethanes and other latices such as copolymers of acrylic ester, acrylonitrile and acrylamide.
- the photographic layers may contain any known additives such as anti-fog agents, stabilisers, hardeners, plasticisers and wetting agents. In addition, they may be both chemically and spectrally sensitised.
- the light sensitive emulsions may be chemically sensitised by carrying out the ripening in the presence of small quantities of sulphur-containing compounds such as allyl isothiocyanate, allyl thiourea and sodium thiosulphate.
- the light sensitive emulsions may also be sensitised with reducing agents, e.g. the tin compounds described in Belgian Pats. Nos. 493,464 and 568,687, and the iminoaminomethanesulphinic acid compounds described in Belgian Pat. No. 547,323 or small quantities of noble metal compounds such as compounds of gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, ruthenium and rhodium.
- the emulsions may also be sensitised with polyalkylene oxide derivatives, e.g. a polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight of between 1000 and 20,000, condensation products of alkylene oxide and aliphatic alcohols, glycols, cyclic dehydration products of hexitols, alkyl substituted phenols, aliphatic carboxylic acids, aliphatic amines, aliphatic diamines and amides.
- the condensation products have a molecular weight of at least 700, preferably more than 1000.
- combinations of these sensitisers may, of course, be used as described in Belgian Pat. No. 537,278 and in British patent specification No. 727,982.
