Definitions

  • a photographic chemical adjuvant is incorporated into a hydrophilic colloid composition by dispersing a solution of the chemical adjuvant in the hydrophilic colloid composition in the presence of a high-boiling substantially water-insoluble aliphatic alcohol or ethoxylated derivative thereof which corresponds to the formula:
  • R is hydrogen or when n is 1 may be alkyl
  • each of R and R stands for a straight-chain or branchedchain alkyl group or together represent the atoms necessary to complete an aliphatic ring structure, R and R together comprising at least 5 carbon atoms.
  • the colloid composition can be a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion or a non-light sensitive water-permeable colloid composition.
  • the high boiling alcohols or ethoxylated derivatives thereof have the particular advantage of reducing the viscosity of the colloid compositions and maintaining the viscosity at a stable level.
  • the present invention is concerned with the use of high-boiling substantially water-insoluble aliphatic alcohols or ethox'ylated derivatives thereof in dispersing chemical adjuvants into hydrophilic colloids employed in the formation of photosensitive and even non-photosensitive layers of photographic silver halide elements.
  • adjuvants In the manufacture of a photographic material numerous adjuvants should be brought into operative association in one or more of the hydrophilic colloid layers of the said material.
  • adjuvants include amongst others color couplers, competing couplers, mask-forming compounds, dyes e.g. filter dyes, antihalation dyes and sensitizing dyes, stabilizers, U.V. -absorbers, optical brightening agents, etc.
  • color coupler any compound which in silver halide photography couples with an oxidized aromatic primary amino color developing agent to form a dye image.
  • mask-forming compound is meant a compound which oxidatively couples with a color coupler in an oxidizing bleaching bath as for example described in British Pats. Nos. 880,862 and 975,932 to form a colored mask image.
  • ballast groups eg a long straight-chain or branched-chain aliphatic group such as an alkyl or alkylene group comprising from 5 to 20 carbon atoms.
  • the presence of this ballast group imparts to the molecule a hydrophobic character and therefore, these non-dilfusible color couplers and maskformers are generally also provided with one or more salt-forming groups eg carboxy groups and preferably sulpho groups, so that these compounds can be dissolved in the photographic emulsions in the form of their soluble alkali salts.
  • Couplers may be used which are waterinsoluble and contain no salt-forming groups.
  • the couplers are dissolved in water-immiscible, oily type solvents or crystalloids such as tricresyl phosphate and di-n-butyl phthalate and the resulting solution added to an aqueous phase containing a dispersing agent such as gelatin or a higher fatty alcohol sulphate.
  • the mixture is then passed through a homogenizing apparatus wherein is formed a dispersion of the oily coupler solution in the aqueous medium.
  • the dissolution of the coupler in the oily solvent is facilitated by the use of an auxiliary low-boiling water-immiscible solvent which is subsequently removed by evaporation.
  • the above dispersion of coupler is then mixed with a gelatino silver halide emulsion and coated in the usual manner to produce a system in which particles of coupler, surrounded by an oily membrane, are distributed throughout the gel matrix.
  • a new dispersion technique has now been found for incorporating chemical adjuvants into photographic hydrophilic colloid coating compositions for forming waterpermeable colloid layers of a photo-sensitive silver halide element, which new technique does not show the disadvantages of the above dispersion technique.
  • this new method may be employed with particular advantage to introduce non-diffusing color couplers 3 and mask-formers into photographic photosensitive emul sions it can also be used to introduce into photo-sensitive emulsions other photographic emulsion auxiliary compounds such as competing couplers, which are used in color photography as described in British Pat. 861,138, light-screening dyes, sensitizing dyes, stabilizers, etc. Moreover, the method of the present invention can also be employed in the preparation of uniform dispersions of photographic compounds in unsensitized photographic colloid compositions.

  • the viscosity increases with time so that uniform coating thicknesses cannot be realized.
