Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to dispersions of silver (carboxylate-n-alkyl thiolate). The carboxylates are typically silver salts of long chain fatty acids and the n-alkyl thiolate is preferably 1-dodecanethiol. These silver (carboxylate-n-alkyl thiolate) particles can be used to formulate imaging forming compositions that are useful in aqueous thermographic or photothermographic imaging elements.
Abstract:
A hydrophobically capped oligomeric acrylamide or pyrrolidone is employed as a coating aid in coating compositions, especially such compositions useful in the manufacture of photographic products. Preferred coating aids are surfactants having the general formula in which R, R1 and R2 are each independently selected from aliphatic hydrocarbyl, aryl-(aliphatic hydrocarbyl) and (aliphatic hydrocarbyl)-aryl groups, which groups may be unsubstituted, partially fluorinated or fully fluorinated, L is a sulphur atom or a linking group that contains a sulphur atom attached to the T group and T is a hydrophilic oligomeric group obtainable by the oligomerisation of one or more vinyl monomers having an amido function.
Abstract:
An ink jet ink composition comprising from about 30 to about 90% by weight of water, from about 0.5 to about 30% by weight of a pigment, from about 0.125 to about 7.5% by weight of an anionic dispersant, from about 0.05 to about 2% by weight of an ethoxylated trimethylnonanol, and from about 10 to about 50% by weight of a humectant comprising a polyhydric alcohol.
Abstract:
Fluoroalkyl surface active agents are provided as effective coating aids for hydrophilic colloid coating compositions for photographic materials. These coating aids are of the formula: ##STR1## where M is a cation,x and y are each independently 0 or an integer of from 1 to 6 such that the sum of x and y is an integer of from 2 to 6, andp and q are each independently 1 or 2, with the proviso that when the sum of x and y is 6, p and q are each 1, and when the sum of x and y is 2, p and q are each 2.
