Abstract:
Preparation of silver halide emulsion comprised of high bromide cubical silver halide grains, comprising: (a) providing in a stirred reaction vessel a dispersing medium and high bromide silver halide grain cores, the cores comprising at least 5 mole % of the final emulsion silver and the contents of the vessel being maintained at a temperature of at least 65°C, and (b) precipitating a high bromide silver halide shell which comprises at least 5 mole % of the final emulsion silver onto the cores by introducing at least a silver salt solution into the dispersing medium at a specified high rate, wherein a minor percentage of chloride ions, relative to bromide, is introduced into the vessel prior to or concurrent with precipitation of the high bromide shell, and wherein the concentration of silver halide in the vessel at the end of the precipitation of the shell is at least 0.5 mole/L.
Abstract:
A radiographic imaging assembly comprises a radiographic silver halide film and a single fluorescent intensifying screen that has protective overcoat that comprises a miscible blend of a first polymer that is poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-tetrafluoroethylene) and a second polymer that is a poly(alkyl acrylate or methacrylate). This imaging assembly is particularly useful for mammography or imaging or other soft tissues.
Abstract:
Thermally developable materials such as photothermographic and thermographic materials have a backside conductive layer with increased conductive efficiency. This backside conductive layer is a buried conductive coating and is overcoated with a layer that contains a smectite clay modified with a quaternary ammonium compound.
Abstract:
Thermally developable materials that comprise a support have a conductive backside layer that has increased conductive efficiency. Conductivity is provided by non acicular metal antimonate particles that are present in an amount greater than 55 and up to 85 dry weight % at a coverage of from 0.06 to 0.5 g/m2, and the ratio of total binder polymers in the backside conductive layer to the non-acicular metal antimonate particles is less than 0.75:1 (dry weights). The level of conductive particles is reduced from previous uses without an unacceptable loss in conductivity. In addition, the dry thickness of the conductive layer is considerably reduced.
