Filed Sept. 3, 1965, Ser. No. 485,083 Claims priority, application Japan, Sept. 8, 1964, 39/51,200; Nov. 2, 1964, 39/61,917 Int. Cl. G03c 1/84 U.S. Cl. 96100 32 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE prevented.
The present invention relates to color photography and more particularly to an incorporated coupler type color photographic material containing a color turbidity preventing agent.
There has been known several types of color photographic materials containing in the photographic emulsion layers color couplers that form dye-images by coupling with the oxidation products of a N,N-dialkyl-pphenylenediamine type developing agents.
In one type of them, a coupler having an oil-soluble group is dissolved in a high boiling point oily solvent, and the solution is then dispersed in a gelatin solution containing a dispersing agent such as sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate, and then a mixture of thus prepared dispersion and a photographic emulsion is coated upon a suitable support.
In another type of them, an oil-soluble coupler in melt or in the form of solution in a low-boiling organic solvent is mixed with a photographic emulsion without using any water-immiscible high boiling point organic solvent followed by coating on a support.
In still another type of them, a water-soluble or an alkali-soluble group is introduced into a coupler having the long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon group and the coupler is incorporated in the form of alkaline solution in a photographic emulsion followed by coating on a suitable support.
In such a type of color photographic materials, there frequently occur such troubles that the color of the dyeimages become turbid, the purity of the color is reduced. Hereinafter, such a reduction of the color purity of color saturation is called color turbidity. It is because of the fact that the process of removing developed sliver by an oxidation bleaching bath after color development is often incompletely carried out and a part of the developed silver remains unoxidized. The spectrally broad light absorption band of the silver thus appears over the sharp light absorption band of the dye-image.
The inventors have found that by incorporating in a color photographic element particularly in a color photographic emulsion containing an oil-soluble coupler and a high boiling point oily solvent a polymer of vinylmethylimidazol having the following structure Patented June 10, 1969 N NCH3 HG: H
or 1-vinyl-2-methylimidazol having the structure In this case, the binding agent for the color photographic emulsion may be a suitably protective colloid, such as, gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol, a derivative thereof, polyacrylamide, a derivative thereof, a cellulose derivative, casein, and an alginate, but gelatin is most preferable.
The polymer used in this invention is a 2-vinyl-lmethylimidazol polymer of a polymer of l-vinyl-2- methylimidazol, or a copolymer containing the abovementioned vinyl-methylimidazol. The monomer to be copolymerized with the vinylmethylimidazol in this invention may be vinyl ester, acrylic acid ester, methacrylic acid ester, acrylamide, a derivative thereof, methacrylamide, a derivative thereof, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, styrene, styrene sulfonic acid, vinyl pyrrolidone and the like. As the vinyl ester, there are vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate and the like. As the acrylic ester, there are methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, etc. As the acrylamide derivative may be N-methylacrylamide, N-ethylacrylamide, N-propylacrylamide, N-butylacrylarnide, N,N-diethylacrylamide, acryloil morpholine and the like. The methacrylamide derivative may be N-methylmethacrylamide, N-ethylmethacrylamide, methacryloil morpholine and the like.
For example, in the case of copolymer of the vinyl methylimidazol and vinyl acetate, the copolymer gives the best effect when the monomer molecular ratio is 7:3 but the copolymer having other monomer molecular ratio may be effectively used in this invention if it contains the vinyl methylimidazol. The polymer and the copolymer of the vinyl methylimidazol in this invention may be used alone or a mixture thereof.
The polymer or the copolymer used in this invention may be soluble in an alkaline solution or miscible in water in colloid state but more preferably be soluble in organic solvents.
The effect of the above-mentioned polymer or copolymer is not substantially influenced by the polymerization degree and the polymer of any polymerization degree may be used in this invention if it is soluble in the abovementioned solvents, liquid having high boiling point (at least above 200 C.) or solid. However, the transparency of the highlight portion of picture is better as the polymerization degree is higher.
The organic solvent utilized for dissolving the polymer or the copolymer in a photographic emulsion may be alcohols, such as, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, etc.; ether alcohols, such as, Cellosolve, carbithols, etc.; esters, such as, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, etc.; ethers, such as, ethylether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, etc.; ketones, such as, acetone, methylethyl ketone, etc.; amides, such as, lactams, dialkyl carbamides, etc.; and the like.
The mixing ratio of the polymer in a photographic emulsion is varied by the kind and amount of the coupler in the emulsion. In general, the optimum amount of the polymer is in the order of by weight based on the weight of gelatin present in the emulsion but the content may of course be larger than the value. However, since the coupling efficiency to dye-forming development and the physical properties of the film are lowered if the amount of the polymer is higher than 25%, a suitable mixing amount is generally about 5 to about 12%.
The invention may be applied effectively to any couplers used in color photographic elements but particularly good results are obtained when it is used with the following oil-soluble couplers.
Coupler 1.4-benzoylacetamido-N-butyl-N-octylbenzamide /(C 1103011; Q-o o omooNH-o ON\ (C H2)7CH3 Coupler 2.1-hydroxy-4-chloro-N-dodecyl-2-naphthamide Coupler 3 .1- (2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) -3- 3- (N-butyltetradecanamido -propanamido )pyrazoline-S-on The color turbidity preventing polymer or copolymer in this invention may be added at dispersing the coupler, at mixing the dispersion in a photographic 611111181011, or at coating the emulsion on a support, but the addition at dispersing the coupler is most preferable. Moreover, in this invention, the color turbidity preventing polymer or copolymer may be added in at least one of subsidiary layers of the color photographic element, such as, an antihalation layer, an insulating layer, a filter layer, a protective layer, and the like as the case may be, whereby the color turbidity of the adjacent emulsion layer can be prevented. In this case, the polymer or the copolymer gives remarkable effect when added in an amount more than 5% by weight and may be added into the subsidiary layers in an amount up to about 75% by weight of the gelatin without giving any bad influences on the physical properties of film and coupling efficiency.
The invention will further be explained more in detail by the following examples.
Example 1 Into a mixture of 1.2 ml. of d-ibutyl phthalate and 3.0 ml. of ethyl acetate was dissolved 4.0 g. of the abovementioned Coupler 1 by heating and the solution was added into ml. of a 10% aqueous gelatin solution containing 0.8 g. of a copolymer of 2-vinyl-1-methylimi'dazol and acrylamide (monomer ratio 7:3 and 2.0 ml. of a 10% aqueous solution of sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate and the mixture was homogenized with a high speed for 3 minutes at 4050 C. by means of a homo blender five times with intervals of 1 minute each to 4 prepare a dispersion of the coupler, the polymer and gelatin.
Thus prepared dispersion was added in a gelatino silver halide emulsion containing 4.5 g. of silver bromide and 7.5 g. of gelatin. After coating the emulsion on a film base, the emulsion layer was exposed and subjected to color treatments, such as, color development, water washing, potassium ferricyanide-bromide bleaching treatment, etc. Since a yellow coupler was used in this example, the degree of the turbidity of dye-image was determined by measuring the optical density with red filter. The results are shown in the following table.
