A process for preparing a solution of a copolymer of a vinylpyridine and an ethylenically-unsaturated copolymerizable vinylbenzyl quaternary salt is disclosed. The process comprises polymerizing, in the presence of a polymerization medium comprising water and a lower alcohol, a vinylpyridine and a copolymerizable vinylbenzyl quaternary ammonium salt having the formula ##STR1## wherein each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is independently alkyl; substituted alkyl; cycloalkyl; aryl; aralkyl; alkaryl, or at least two of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together with the quaternary nitrogen atom to which they are bonded complete a saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring. The process provides the desired copolymer in the form of a clear solution useful in the formation of polymeric coatings or layers utilized as image-receiving layers in photographic products and processes.

Image-receiving elements for use in photographic diffusion transfer products and processes and including a unitary image-receiving and decolorizing layer are disclosed. The unitary image-receiving and decolorizing layer comprises a mixture of gelatin, an organic monobasic or polybasic acid or anhydride and a copolymeric mordant comprising recurring units from a vinylpyridine and from a copolymerizable vinylbenzyl quaternary ammonium salt. The image-receiving elements can be used in diffusion transfer products and processes for the provision of color images which appear satisfactorily to emerge from a white background and which exhibit desirable densitometric characteristics.

Polymeric optical filter agents and products and processes using same are disclosed. The polymeric optical filter agents are pH-sensitive materials comprising a polymeric backbone having a plurality of pendant moieties of the formula (I). ##STR1## wherein X is ##STR2## and R is alkyl, aryl, alkaryl or aralkyl; A is hydrogen, alkyl or the radical ##STR3## where each of Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2 and Y.sup.3 is hydrogen or an electron-withdrawing group; and each Z.sup.1, Z.sup.2 and Z.sup.3 is hydrogen or an electron-withdrawing group; with the proviso that, when each of Z.sup.1, Z.sup.2 and Z.sup.3 is hydrogen, said A is a radical ##STR4## wherein at least one of said Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2 and Y.sup.3 groups comprises an electron-withdrawing group. These agents upon contact with alkali are converted from a substantially non-light absorbing form to a highly colored light-absorbing form useful in photographic products.

A slide blank comprises a support at least part of which is essentially transparent; an imageable layer superposed on one face of the support, the imageable layer not being substantially photosensitive but comprising a color-forming composition, which, upon imagewise exposure to actinic radiation, forms a colored material, thereby forming in the imageable layer an image which can be viewed in transmission; and a protective layer superposed on the imageable layer on the opposed side thereof from the support, at least part of the protective layer being essentially transparent; the support, imageable layer and protective layer being secured together to form a slide blank having a thickness of at least about 0.8 mm, and the thickness of the protective layer being such that no part of the imageable layer containing the color-forming composition is more than about 0.2 mm from one external surface of the slide blank. This slide blank can be imaged to produce a ready-mounted slide.
摘要:
A multilayer diagnostic assay element wherein glyoxyl agarose, an aldehyde group - derivatized agarose, is utilized in one or more layers of the element. In a preferred embodiment the glyoxyl agarose is used to immobilize biological species such as a protein in a layer of the element.
摘要:
An imaging medium comprises a layer, depolymerizable by exposure to actinic radiation and undergoing a reduction in cohesivity upon at least partial depolymerization, disposed adjacent a layer of an imaging material, which has a cohesive strength greater than the cohesive strength of the depolymerizable layer after depolymerization. This medium is imagewise exposed to radiation, thereby causing at least partial depolymerization of the polymer in the exposed areas, so rendering these exposed areas lower in cohesivity than the unexposed areas. The exposed areas of the imaging material are then removed from the depolymerizable layer.

There is described a nanoporous receiver element for use in thermal mass transfer imaging applications. The receiver element comprises a substrate carrying an image-receiving layer comprising particulate material and a binder material. The substrate may comprise a material having a compressibility of at least 1% under a pressure of 1 Newton per mm2 (1 MPa). Optionally, there may be provided, between the substrate and the nanoporous receiving layer, a layer having a thickness of less than about 50 &mgr;m which is comprised entirely of a material having a compressibility of less than about 1% under a pressure of 1 MPa. Alternatively, the substrate may comprise only the material having a compressibility of less than about 1% under a pressure of 1 MPa, provided that the thickness of the substrate does not exceed about 50 &mgr;m. The image-receiving layer comprises particulate material and a binder material, has a void volume of from about 40% to about 70% and a pore diameter distribution wherein at least 50% of the pores having a diameter greater than about 30 nm have diameters less than about 300 nm and at least 95% of the pores having diameters greater than about 300 nm have diameters less than about 1000 nm.
