Abstract

Abstract A process for producing a photographic material, which comprises dispersing, in a solution of an organic resin, a material which is incompatible with the organic resin to form a dispersion, coating the resulting dispersion on at least one side of a support to form a coated layer, and then drying the coated layer, the material dispersed being a solid at ordinary temperature and in a liquid phase during the dispersing, whereby the coated layer when dried contains solid particles dispersed therein due to solidification of the dispersed material. The present invention also provides a photographic material obtained by the above process.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim 154 words
A process for producing a photographic material having good adhesion between a support and a hydrophilic colloid photographic layer which comprises the steps of: (1) liquifying a material which is solid at ordinary temperatures by heating in the absence of a liquid solvent; (2) dispersing said liquified material in a solution of an organic resin which is incompatible therewith to form a dispersion wherein the size of the droplets of said liquified particles is not greater than 1μ; (3) coating the resulting dispersion on at least one side of a support to form a coated layer; (4) drying the coated layer to form a transparent layer containing solid particles of said material dispersed therein in a macroscopically uniform state in an order larger than the size of a single molecule and forming a different phase from that of the organic resin; and then, (5) coating a hydrophilic colloid photographic layer on said coated layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 154 words
A process for producing a photographic material having good adhesion between a support and a hydrophilic colloid photographic layer which comprises the steps of: (1) liquifying a material which is solid at ordinary temperatures by heating in the absence of a liquid solvent; (2) dispersing said liquified material in a solution of an organic resin which is incompatible therewith to form a dispersion wherein the size of the droplets of said liquified particles is not greater than 1μ; (3) coating the resulting dispersion on at least one side of a support to form a coated layer; (4) drying the coated layer to form a transparent layer containing solid particles of said material dispersed therein in a macroscopically uniform state in an order larger than the size of a single molecule and forming a different phase from that of the organic resin; and then, (5) coating a hydrophilic colloid photographic layer on said coated layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process as described in claim 1, wherein said organic resin has good adhesivity to a hydrophilic photographic layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
