Dye diffusion transfer material with graft polymer binding layer

Claim 1

Photographic monosheet material for the dye diffusion transfer process, containing the following layers in the given sequence between a first and a second dimensionally stable support layer, of which at least the first is transparent: a. an image receiving layer, b. a light reflecting pigment layer or means for producing such a light reflecting pigment layer and c. a light-sensitive layer unit containing at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer with which a colour producing compound is associated, and a destructible container containing processing liquid arranged at the side, which container releases its contents between a first and second binder layer of the monosheet material when subjected to mechanical force, a bond existing between the said first and said second binder layer of the monosheet material before and after processing, which bond is temporarily eliminated under the action of the processing liquid, wherein the improvement comprises between said first layer and said second layer there is arranged another layer which consists substantially of a graft polymer obtained by grafting a monomer containing a double bond which is capable of radical polymerisation on a hydrophilic linear basic polymer consisting substantially of one or more of the following recurrent units: (--R.sub.1 -- 0--) , (--R.sub.2 --O--) and (--R.sub.3 --0--C0--) in which R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each represents an alkylene group containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and having a molecular weight of between 2000 and 10,000.
