  • ABSTRACT A photographic element for use in silver halide photography having a silver halide emulsion layer, a protective layer, a subbing layer or a diffusion-transfer image-receiving layer, each using gelatin as the main binding component, in which into one of said layers are incorporated a nonionic water-soluble polymer and a phase separation inhibitor containing the (3
  • the photographic element has reduced propensity to curling and to becoming sticky after stabilization processing.
  • Photographic elements in general comprise a support material such as paper, a synthetic resin film, a glass or metallic plate, with a subbing layer optionally being provided thereon for the purpose of enhancing the adhesivity between the support and photographic layer adjacent thereto, together with a silver halide emulsion layer, usually with a protective layer provided thereon to prevent damage to said emulsion layer, the latter two layers being applied onto the surface of the foregoing support or subbing layer.
  • an imagereceiving element used in the diffusion transfer photographic process, which element comprises an imagereceiving layer having incorporated therein a catalytic substance, i.e. silver deposits or so-called development nuclei, in a dispersed form for reduction of a soluble silver complex transported by diffusion from a photographic light-sensitive element.
  • gelatin As the binding agent for these photographic elements, gelatin has heretofore been used in almost all cases due to its outstanding photographic and physical properties. Since gelatin is a natural substance, however, its use has suffered from the disadvantage that the properties of gelatin largely depend upon the raw materials and manufacturing processes used to form it; and often it is therefore not possible to insure constant quality in the finished product. Besides such a disadvantage, the use of gelatin presents some other problems. For instance, it is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity and tends to curl. Furthermore, in the stabilization process wherein a photographic element is processed in a stabilizing solution containing ammonium thiocyanate, the surface of a gelatin film which constitutes a photographic layer becomes sticky after stabilization.
  • the compounds disclosed hereinafter are extremely effective as phase-separation inhibitors upon admixing gelatin with nonionic polymers, we have also confirmed the following advantages: the coating composition prepared using such compounds can be applied onto a support more uniformly than in the case of using the prior art phase-separation inhibitor, i.e., the above-described copolymer (MVE/MA) or an amide or ester thereof; the photographic elements produced have little tendency to curl, and they show little tendency to be sticky after stabilization, if such is used.
