Definitions

  • a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material tends to form, at the time of development, socalled chemical fog due to deposition of blackened silver even at portions which have not been exposed to light prior to development.
  • the formation of fog is a fatal drawback of photographic material, since it greatly deteriorates the quality of the resulting photographic image.
  • softeners e.g., water-soluble high molecular compounds such as polyacrylamide or polyvinyl alcohols
  • wetting agents e.g., aqueous dispersions of glycerin, hexylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, diethylene glycol polymer or vinyl polymer
  • said softeners or wetting agents it is possible to prevent to a certain extent the formation of fog derived from thin layercoating and quick drying of silver halide emulsions high in content of silver.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized light-sensitive silver halide photographic material free from formation of fog.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a fogfree light-sensitive silver halide photographic material which is high in speed and can withstand severe processing conditions including such steps that a silver halide emulsion high in content of silver is coated in thin layer on a film base and is further subjected to quick drying.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a stabilized light-sensitive silver halide photographic material which is prepared under such severe conditions as mentioned above but does not suffer from formation of fog even when stored under high temperature and humidity conditions or subjected to high temperature quick development.
  • the nitron compound A used in the present invention is an inorganic or organic salt of, for example, the nitron compound of the structural formula (I) or which is disclosed in Journal of the Chemical Society, No. 1, pages 824-825 (1938).
  • Concrete examples of the nitron compound A include hydrochloride, hydrobromide, nitrate, perchlorate, thiocyanate and acetate of nitron. Processes for preparing these nitron compounds A are described in Beilsteins Handbuch der Organischen Chemie, Vol. 26, page 349.
  • the nitron compound A according to the present invention is preferably incorporated into the silver halide emulsion layer of a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material, but may be incorporated into a sub layer, protective layer, inter layer or the like layer adjacent to the silver halide emulsion layer.
  • the nitron compound A may be added to the silver halide emulsion at any stage before coating, but is preferably added at a stage from chemical ripening to coating.
  • the nitron compound A may be added in the form of a solution in one or more of water and water-miscible solvents such as, for example, lower alcohols, esters and ketones.
  • the amount of the nitron compound A to be added varies depending on the kind of the silver halide emulsion or of the nitron compound A, but is ordinarily in the range of 1 mg. to 1,000 mg., preferably mg. to 100 mg, per mole of the silver halide.
  • Silver halide emulsions applicable to the lightsensitive silver halide photographic materials of the present invention are black-white photographic emulsions, X-ray photographic emulsions, printing or copying photographic emulsions, internal or external color photographic emulsions, and diffusion transfer type black-white or color photographic emulsions, which may contain various silver halides such as silver bromide, silver iodobromide, silver chlorobromide and silver chloroiodobromide.
  • silver halide emulsions may have been sensitized with chemical sensitizers such as noble metal sensitizers, sulfur sensitizers or reduction sensitizers, or with color sensitizers, and may .have been incorporated with conventional photographic additives such as hardeners, stabilizers and coating aids.
  • chemical sensitizers such as noble metal sensitizers, sulfur sensitizers or reduction sensitizers, or with color sensitizers
  • conventional photographic additives such as hardeners, stabilizers and coating aids.
  • the thus constructed light-sensitive silver halide photographic materials of the present invention show stabilized photographic properties free from fog, even when prepared by use of silver halide emulsions high in speed and high in content of silver which have been coated in thin layers and subjected to quick drying. Further, even when the thus obtained photographic materials are stored under high temperature and humidity conditions or subjected to high temperature quick development, the stabilized photographic properties free from fog can be maintained.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A high speed silver iodobromide emulsion containing 1.5 mole% of silver iodide was subjected to second ripening according to gold sensitization and sulfur sensitization. Thereafter, the emulsion was incorporated with 4.0 g. per mole of the silver halide of 4-hydroxy-6- methyl-1,3,3a-7-tetrazaindene as a stabilizer, and with appropriate amounts of a coating aid and a hardener. The thus treated silver halide emulsion was equally divided into 7 portions.
  • Example No. l One of the 7 portions was coated in multi-layers on a polyethylene terephthalate film base with simultaneous application of a protective layer-forming 2.5% aqueous gelatin solution, and the resulting photosensitive film was quickly dried in 10 minutes in an atmosphere of 30C. and RH 40% to prepare a control sample (Sample No. l). Separately, the remaining 6 portions were individually treated in the same manner as in the case of the control sample, except that nitron or an inorganic acid salt of nitron was added, to prepare samples (Sample Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).
  • control sample and the samples were individually exposed to white light according to .118 by use of Sensitometer Model KS-l (manufactured by Konishiroku Photo Industry Co., Ltd.), and then subjected to high temperature quick development at 40C. for 30 seconds by means of a continuous roller type automatic developing machine capable of conducting the development, fixing, water-washing and drying of photographic materials successively, using a developer of the following composition:
  • EXAMPLE 2 An X-ray silver iodobromide emulsion containing 2 mole% of silver iodide was subjected to second ripening and sensitized to the maximum speed by addition of gold and sulfur sensitizers. Thereafter, the emulsion was incorporated with 4.0 g. per mole of the silver halide of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3,3a-7-tetrazaindene as a stabilizer, and with appropriate amounts of a coating aid and a hardener. The thus treated silver halide emulsion was equally divided into 1 1 portions.
  • Example No. 8 One of the l 1 portions was coated in multi-layers on a polyethylene terephthalate film base together with simultaneous application of a protective layer-forming 2.5% aqueous gelatin solution, and the resulting photosensitive film was quickly dried in the same manner as in Example 1 to prepare a control sample (Sample No. 8). Separately, the remaining portions were individually treated in the same manner as in the case of the control sample, except that a nitron compound A was added in such proportion as shown in Table 2, to prepare 10 samples (Sample Nos. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,15, 16,17
  • control samples and the samples were individually subjected to storage test and then subjected to the same development, fixing, water-washing and sensi- -tometry as in Example 1. Photographic properties of the samples were as set forth in Table 3.
  • EXAMPLE 4 The same treated silver halide emulsion as in Example l was equally divided into 2 portions. One of the 2 portions was coated in multi-layers on a polyethylene terephthalate film base with simultaneous application of a protective layer-forming 2% aqueous gelatin solution, and the resulting photosensitive film was quickly dried in an atmosphere of 30C. and RH 37%. Separately, the other portion was treated in the same man- 'ner as in the case of the control sample, except that the protective layer-forming gelatin solution was incorporated with 5 mg. per g. of the gelatin of nitron hydrobromide, to prepare a sample.
  • a stabilized, light-sensitive photographic material free of formation of fog comprising a fog-free silver halide emulsion and an inorganic or organic acid salt of nitron in the silver halide emulsion layer and/or a layer adjacent thereto, the amount of nitron being about 10 mg. to less than mg. per mole of the silver halide.
