Abstract
Abstract A method for dispersing an oil-soluble photographic additive into water or a hydrophilic colloid composition wherein an oil-soluble photographic additive is dispersed in water or a hydrophilic colloid composition in the presence of a polymer having a recurring unit represented by the following formula (I): -(A)x- -(B)y-(I) wherein A represents an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing a sulfonic acid group; B represents a copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer; x is about 10 to 100 mol%; and y is about 0 to 90 mol%.
