Abstract

Abstract Laminar structures comprising a photographic image in silver, the image-bearing surface of which is laminated to a transparent layer comprising a hydroxylated polymer via an intermediate layer consisting essentially of a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol and a methyl vinyl ether-maleic acid copolymer or a partial lower alkyl ester of such a copolymer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 16 words
A laminar structure as defined in claim 1 wherein said transparent hydroxylated polymer is polyvinyl alcohol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 20 words
A laminar structure as defined in claim 1 wherein said transparent hydroxylated polymer is a molecularly oriented light-polarizing polyvinyl alcohol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A laminar structure as defined in claim 1 wherein said transparent hydroxylated polymer is a partially hydrolyzed vinyl acetate-vinyl chloride copolymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
