Claims. (Cl. 96114) This invention relates to photographic silver halide emulsions and, more particularly, to gelatino-silver halide emulsions having improved wet density or covering power retention.
Various .addenda can be added to photographic silver halide emulsions to increase the covering power of the silver in the emulsion. Emulsions of increased covering power are of special interest to the emulsion maker since their use results in what is equivalent to an increase in speed at a constant silver level or to a saving in silver at a constant density level. In many applications of photographic materials such as in graphic arts processes, it is essential for the photographic technician to maintain rigid control of contrast and density in his photographic negatives or positives. In order to have time, these characteristics are often measured immediately after processing while the film is still wet. However, as pointed out by Blake and Meerkamper in The Journal of Photographic Science, vol. 9, 1961, pages 14 to 25, the wet covering power of a gelatino-silver image can change substantially during drying. With such changes of covering power on drying, the photographic technician is not able to reliably predict the ultimate contrast in density of the dried silver image by observing the film while still wet. Moreover, a loss in density on drying represents a loss of covering power, to wit, a less efiicient production of practical density for a given amount of silver. As pointed out in the noted Blake and Meerkamper publication, large grain emulsions show this effect the most. It is thus highly desirable that density or covering power changes on drying be reduced or eliminated.
It is accordingly an object of this invention to provide novel gelatino-silver halide emulsions having reduced wetdry density changes.
It is another object of this invention to provide novel gelatino-silver halide emulsions having high covering power.
It is still another object of this invention to provide novel large grain gelatino-silver halide emulsions that have improved wet density retention.
It is likewise an object of this invention to provide novel photographic gelatino-silver halide emulsions having particular utility in the graphic arts field.
It is also an object of this invention to provide new photographic gelatino-silver halide emulsions having an increased gamma for a given development time.
These and other objects of the invention are accompilshed with photographic gelatino-silver halide emulsions wherein the silver halide comprises a substantial amount of large grain silver bromoiodide, and wherein the emulsion contains a minor proportionate amount of a low molecular weight, water-soluble polyacrylamide. We have found that a narrow segment of a specific polymeric class significantly improves the wet density retention and related properties of certain large grain silver halide emulsions as outlined above and as described in more detail below.
The polyacrylamide emulsion addenda of the invention are low molecular weight, water-soluble polyacrylamides of the type described in Minsk et al., US. Patent 2,486,191
Patented Sept. 6, 1966 ice issued October 25, 1949. Such polymers have the following recurring structural unit,
0 lNHr CHgCH and have an inherent viscosity in the range of about .1 to .6, and preferably .15 to .5, as determined at 25 C. in
water. As used herein, the term inherent viscosity is determined by the formula,
2.3O log 21 C wherein m is the inherent viscosity, is the relative viscosity of water solution of the polymer divided by the viscosity of the water in the same units and at the same temperature, and C is the concentration in grams (0.25) of polymer per cc. of solution. The polyacrylamide is utilized in the present gelatino-silver halide emulsions at concentrations of about 5 percent to 50 percent, and preferably 10 to 40 percent, by weight based on the gelatin in the emulsion.
The preparation of photographic gelatino-silver halide emulsions such as are utilized with the described polyacrylamides typically involves three separate operations:
( 1) Emulsification and digestion of silver halide,
(2) The freeing of the emulsion of excess water-soluble salts, suitably by washing with water, and
(3) The second digestion or after-ripening to obtain increased emulsion speed or sensitivity, reference being made to Mees, The Theory of the Photographich Process, 1954.
The water-soluble polyacrylamides utilized in our emulsions can be added to the emulsion at any stage of the preparation of the emulsion, such as before the final digestion or after-ripening, or immediately prior to coating.
The silver halide utilized in the present photographic gelatino-silver halide emulsions comprises a substantial amount of silver bromoiodide, and preferably consists essentially of silver bromoiodide, the silver bromoiodide being .5 to 10 mole percent iodide. The silver bromoiodide crystals of suitable emulsions have a mean grain size of at least about .4 micron and more generally in the range of .4 to 1.5 microns. Other silver halides than silver bromoiodide, and silver halides having other grain sizes, can be mixed in the present gelatino-silver bromoiodide emulsions. The present emulsions are the conventional negative-type, developing-out emulsions.
The photographic gelatino-silver halide emulsions of the invention can contain conventional photographic addenda such as optical sensitizers, chemical sensitizers, antifoggants, gelatin plasticizers, gelatin hardeners, coating aids, and the like photographic addenda.
The above-described emulsions of the invention can be coated on a diversity of photographic supports in accordance with usual practice. Typical supports for the photographic emulsions of the invention include cellulose nitrate film, cellulose acetate film, polyvinyl acetal film, polystyrene film, polyethylene terephthalate film, polyethylene film, polypropylene film, paper, polyethylenecoated paper, glass, and the like.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples of preferred embodiments thereof.
