Silver halide photographic materials are disclosed, comprising a support having thereon at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, wherein at least one layer of said photographic material is formed by polymerizing a film which contains a compound represented by formula (I): ##STR1## wherein X represents --CO--, --COO--, --OCO-- or an arylene group; L represents an alkylene group, an aralkylene group or an arylene group, any of which can optionally have substituents; Y represents --CO--, --SO.sub.2 -- or --NHCO--; m and p each independently represents 0 to 1, provided that when X is ##STR2## m is 1; Z represents --O--, --S-- or ##STR3## R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a halogen atom or a cyano group; R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent lower alkylene groups; R.sub.5 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, --CO--R.sub.9 or --SO.sub.2 R.sub.9, any of which, other than a hydrogen atom, can optionally have substituents; R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 represent hydrogen atoms, alkyl groups or alkenyl groups, any of which, other than hydrogen atoms, can optionally have substituents; R.sub.9 represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group or an aralkyl group, any of which can optionally have substituents; and a, b and c each independently represents an integer of value from 0 to 30, and a, b and c are not all equal to 0.
