摘要:
There is disclosed an aqueous photothermographic composition comprising a) a photosensitive silver halide emulsion precipitated in a water dispersible cationic starch peptizing agent and b) an oxidation-reduction imaging forming composition comprising (I) a colloidal dispersion of silver compound particles and (ii) an organic reducing agent. The use of a starch peptizing agent reduces the fog in an element using the composition upon thermal processing.

摘要:
Photographically useful radiation-sensitive high chloride {100} tabular grain emulsions containing iodide are disclosed. A high proportion of the {100} tabular grains contain crystal lattice dislocations extending inwardly from their peripheral edges. The dislocations are created by introducing elemental iodine into a high chloride {100} tabular grain emulsion, reducing the iodine to iodide, displacing chloride ions at the peripheral edges of the tabular grains with iodide ions, and then continuing growth of the high chloride {100} tabular grains. The dislocations in the peripheral and, particularly, corner regions of the tabular grains increase their sensitivity.

A grain growth process is claimed which provides a tabular Ag halide emulsion with a Br content greater than 50 mol.%. The av. equiv. circular dia. of the grains is increased while their av. thickness is maintained at less than 0.07 mu m. The process involves: (1) preparing an aq. dispersion contg. at least 0.1 wt.% of Ag in the form of Ag halide grains with a Br content of at least 50 mol.% and an av. thickness of less than 0.06mu m; the dispersion has a pH of 1.5 to 8 and a stoichiometric excess of br to Ag ions limited to a pBr of 1.5; (2) adding a phenol with at least two iodo substits. as a grain growth modifier, the phenol being incapable of reducing the Ag halide grains provided in step (1); and (3) holding the dispersion at 40[deg] C until the av. equiv. circular dia. is at least 0.1mu m greater than that of the grains in step (1), and greater than 50% of the total grain projected area is accounted for by tabular grains with (III) major faces, an av. aspect ratio of at least 5 and an av. thickness of less than 0.07 mu m.
摘要:
A process is disclosed of producing a dye image in an imagewise exposed color photographic element by developing a silver halide emulsion to produce silver imagewise and employing the developed silver to catalyze the reaction of an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent that are inert to oxidation-reduction interaction in the absence of developed silver, and reacting oxidized reducing agent with a dye image providing compound to form the dye image. In the color photographic element total silver is limited and the emulsion contains a high chloride ä100ü tabular grain population.

A process of preparing a radiation sensitive high chloride high aspect ratio tabular grain emulsion is disclosed wherein silver ion is introduced into a gelatino-peptizer dispersing medium containing a stoichiometric excess of chloride ions of less than 0.5 molar and a grain growth modifier of the formula: where Z8 is -C(R8)= or -N=; R8 is H, NH or CH ; and R is hydrogen or a hydrocarbon of from 1 to 7 carbon atoms.

A radiation sensitive emulsion is disclosed containing a silver halide grain population comprised of at least 50 mole percent chloride, based on silver, in which greater than 50 percent of the total grain projected area is accounted for by ultrathin tabular grains having a {111} crystal face stabilizer adsorbed to the major faces of the ultrathin tabular grains.
摘要:
A process is disclosed of preparing an emulsion for photographic use comprised of silver halide grains and a gelatino-peptizer dispersing medium in which morphologically unstable tabular grains having {111} major faces account for greater than 50 percent of total grain projected area and contain at least 50 mole percent chloride, based on silver. The emulsion additionally contains at least one 2-hydroaminoazine adsorbed to and morphologically stabilizing the tabular grains. Protonation releases 2-hydroaminoazine from the tabular grain surfaces into the dispersing medium. Released 2-hydroaminoazine is replaced on the tabular grain surfaces by adsorption of a photographically useful compound selected from among those that contain at least one divalent sulfur atom, thereby concurrently morphologically stabilizing the tabular grains and enhancing their photographic utility, and the released 2-hydroaminoazine is removed from the dispersing medium.
摘要:
A process for precipitating a high bromide silver halide emulsion in an aqueous medium is described comprising precipitating high bromide radiation-sensitive silver halide grains in a reaction vessel in the presence of a peptizer comprising a water dispersable starch, wherein a strong oxidizing agent is added to the reaction vessel during or after the precipitation at a pH of less than 4.0 such that an oxidation potential of at least 650 mV (Ag/AgCl ref.) is achieved. A reduction in the rate of reaction between strong oxidants such as bromine and starch at such low pH has been found to enable an advantageous decrease in the amount of oxidant required to achieve and maintain a high oxidation potential during emulsion grain precipitation. Starch, unlike gelatin, also advantageously has adequate stability at the combination of high acidity and high emulsion precipitation temperatures.
摘要:
A process for precipitating a high bromide silver halide emulsion in an aqueous medium is disclosed comprising growing nucleated silver halide grains in a reaction vessel in the presence of a peptizer comprising a water dispersable starch to form high bromide radiation-sensitive silver halide grains, wherein the majority of grain growth in the reaction vessel is performed at a pH of less than 3.5. Growth of high bromide silver halide emulsion grains in the presence of a starch peptizer at low pH in accordance with the invention results in emulsion grains with lower fog, even in the absence of the use of strong oxidizing agents during grain precipitation.
