The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material, particularly to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material capable of magnetic-recording and excellent in antistatic property and feeding property.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,947,196 and International Patent Publication No. 90/04254 disclose a roll of photographic film having, on the backside of the film, a magnetic layer containing a magnetic substance for magnetic recording, as well as a photographic camera having a built-in magnetic head. This advanced technique makes possible to improve the quality of prints and the efficiency of printing work by allowing the magnetic layer to input or output information to identify the light-sensitive material and the manufacturer thereof, information on the photographing conditions, information on the printing conditions and information on the additional printing.
In general, a magnetic layer is poor in antistatic property and feeding property because it has no conductivity by itself and possesses a high coefficient of friction. In order to solve such problems, a fatty acid or a fatty acid ester, and/or an antistatic agent, is added to an ordinary magnetic tape. As the antistatic agent, carbon black is usually used in a manner to add a large amount of it in a magnetic layer or to coat a layer comprised of it on the backside of a magnetic layer.
For a photographic film having a magnetic layer on the backside, however, carbon black cannot be used as a tool to prevent static electrification and lower the coefficient of friction, because positive and negative silver halide photographic light-sensitive films require an excellent light transmitting property from their uses.
The object of the present invention is to provide a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material capable of magnetic-recording, high in light transmitting property, and excellent in antistatic property and film feeding property.
The above object of the invention is attained by a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising:
a support having a first side and a second side which is opposite to said first side;
a silver halide emulsion layer provided on said first side; and
a recording medium provided on said second side,
wherein said recording medium comprises a magnetic layer having a magnetic powder and a first binder, and a conductive layer which contains a conductive particle and a second binder,
said conductive particle being essentially consisting of one of crystalline metal oxide selected from the group consisting of ZnO, TiO2, SnO2, Al2 O3, InO3 and SiO2, and a complex oxide thereof.
In the preferable embodiment of the invention, at least one of binders respectively contained in the non-magnetic layer and the magnetic layer has a polar functional group such as a sulfo group or a phosphoric group.
The present invention is hereunder described in detail.
In the invention, either the magnetic layer or the non-magnetic conductive layer may form the uppermost layer.
The metal oxide particles used in the non-magnetic conductive layer include, for example, a colloid of stannic oxide described in Japanese Pat. Exam. Pub. No. 616/1960 and metal oxides described in Japanese Pat. O.P.I. Pub. Nos. 5300/1976, 12927/1980 and 143431/1981. Preferable metal oxides are crystalline ones in view of their antistatic property. Particularly preferable ones are metal oxides containing oxygen defects as well as metal oxides containing a small amount of foreign atoms which act as doners to those metal oxides, because these have a high conductivity in general. And the latter ones are the most suitable for their incapability of fogging a silver halide emulsion. Examples of preferable metal oxides include ZnO, TiO2, SnO2, Al2 O3, In2 O3, SiO2 and a complex of these metal oxides. Among them, ZnO, TiO2 and SnO2 are particularly preferred. There is available ITO (indium.tin oxide:(In2 O3)x (SnO2)y) as a preferable complex oxide. As examples of foreign-atom-containing metal oxides, addition of Al or In to ZnO, that of Sb, Nb or halogen atoms to SnO2 and that of Nb or Ta to TiO2 are effective. The addition amount of these foreign atoms is 0.01 to 30 mole %, preferably 0.1 to 10 mole % for metal oxides.
The size of these conductive particles is usually not more than 10 μm; a particle size less than 2 μm can give a stable dispersion which is easy to handle. And use of conductive particles of which sizes are 0.5 μm or less is particularly preferred in order to form a transparent light-sensitive materials by reducing the scattering of light as much as possible.
The conductive layer according to the invention may employ the same binder as is used in the magnetic layer.
It is preferable for the binder (resin) used in the invention to be a modified resin having a polar group selected from --SO3 M, --OSO3 M and --P(═O)(OM1)(OM2) (where, M is a hydrogen, sodium, potasium or lithium atom; M1 and M2 may be the same with or different from each other and each represent a hydrogen, sodium, potasium or lithium atom, or an alkyl group). But the above polar groups may not be necessarily present in the binder resin.
Suitable binder resins are, for example, polyvinyl chloride type resins, polyurethane resins, polyester resins and polyethylene type resins.
These resins can be modified by various methods. For example, a metal-sulfonate-group-containing polyester resin can be obtained by employing a metal-sulfonate-group-containing dicarboxylic acid as a portion of the dicarboxylic acid component and allowing this and a dicarboxylic acid having no metal sulfonate group to undergo condensation with a diol.
A metal-sulfonate-group-containing polyester polyurethane resin can be prepared by the condensation reaction and addition reaction using a diisocyanate and three compounds comprised of a metal-sulfonate-group-containing dicarboxylic acid used as a starting material of the above metal-sulfonate-group-containing polyester, a dicarboxylic acid containing no metal sulfonate group, and a diol. In the case of a polyurethane resin, a desired urethane resin can be synthesized, for example, by introducing a metal sulfonate group into a diol.
Further, such a polar group can also be introduced by modifying a polyester resin, polyurethane resin or polyvinyl chloride type resin. That is, the polar group is introduced into these resins by subjecting these resins and a compound having the polar group and a chlorine atom in the molecule, such as ClCH2 CH2 SO3 M, ClCH2 CH2 OSO3 M or ClCH2 P(═O)(OM1)(OM2)(M,M1 and M2 are the same as defined above), to dehydrochlorination.
The carboxylic acid component used to prepare these polyester resins and polyurethane resins includes, for example, aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, orthophthalic acid, 1,5-naphthalic acid; aromatic oxycarboxylic acids such as p-(hydroxyethoxy)benzoic acid; aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedicarboxylic acid; and tri- and tetra-carboxylic acids such as trimellitic acid, trimesic acid, pyromellitic acid. Among them, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, adipic acid and sebacic acid are preferred.
The metal-sulfonate-group-containing dicarboxylic acid component includes, for example, 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid, 5-potassium sulfoisophthalic acid, 2-sodium sulfoterephthalic acid and 2-potassium sulfoterephthalic acid.
The diol component includes, for example, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, neopentyl glycol, ethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-neopentanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, ethylene oxide adducts of bisphenol A, ethylene oxide adducts of hydrogenated bisphenol A, polyethylene glycols, polypropylene glycols and polytetramethylene glycols. Further, there can be jointly used triols and/or tetraols such as trimethylol ethane, trimethylol propane, glycerol and pentaerythritol.
The isocyanate component used to prepare the polyurethane resin includes, for example, 2,4-tolylenediisocyanate, 2,6-tolylenediisocyanate, p-phenylenediisocyanate, m-phenylenediisocyanate, 3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylenediisocyanate, 4,4'-diisocyanate diphenyl ether, 1,3-naphthalenediisocyanate, p-xylidenediisocyanate, m-xylidenediisocyanate, methylcyclohexane 1,3-diisocyanate, 1,4-methylcyclohexanediisocyanate, 4,4'-diisocyanate dicyclohexane, 4,4'-diisocyanate dicyclohexyl methane and isophronediisocyanate.
In the invention, it is preferable that the binder resin in the conductive layer and that in the magnetic layer be a combination of a urethane resin and a polyvinyl chloride type resin, and that both of these resins be modified.
The addition amount of the conductive particles is not more than 15 mg, preferably not more than 7 mg and especially 0.5 to 4 mg per 100 cm2 in terms of metal oxide.
In order to raise the conductivity of the conductive layer, it is preferable that the volumetric content of conductive particles be higher as much as possible. But, to secure a transparency required of the conductive layer, the weight ratio of binder to metal oxide is preferably 5:1 to 1:5 and especially 5:1 to 1:2.
It is preferable that a conductive layer in the present invention is transparent. Optical density of 1.0 or less is preferable, that of 0.75 or less is more preferable and that ranging from 0.02 to 0.3 is especially preferable. Incidentally, with regard to a magnetic-recording layer (including a magnetic layer and a conductive layer) in the invention, optical density of 1.0 or less is preferable, that of 0.75 or less is more preferable and that ranging from 0.02 to 0.3 is especially preferable. In order to obtain the aforementioned optical density, it is necessary to adjust coating weight by changing the ratio of magnetic powder and conductive particles to binder and coating thickness.
Next, the magnetic layer is described.
It is preferable that the magnetic layer in the invention be transparent. Its optical density is usually not more than 1.0, preferably not more than 0.75 and especially 0.02 to 0.3.
In the invention, the magnetic layer is a layer comprised of a ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder. The coating weight of the magnetic powder is not more than 10 mg, preferably not more than 5 mg and especially 0.1 to 3 mg per 100 cm2 as an amount of iron present.
As the ferromagnetic powder, there can be used, for example, γ-Fe2 O3 powder, Co-coated γ-Fe2 O3 powder, Co-coated γ-Fe3 O4 powder, Co-coated FeOx (4/3<x<3/2) powder, other Co-containing iron oxides and other ferrites, for example, hexagonal ferrites including M and W types of Ba ferrite, Sr ferrite, Pb ferrite, Ca ferrite and their solid solutions and ion substitution products.
As a hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder, there can be used an element having a coercive force of 200 to 2,000 Oe in which Fe atoms, a component element of these uniaxial anisotropic hexagonal ferrite crystals, are partially displaced by a divalent metal; at least one pentavalent metal selected from Nb, Sb and Ta; and Sn atom within the range from 0.05 to 0.5 atom per chemical formula.
Preferable divalent metals in these hexagonal ferrites are Mn, Cu and Mg, which have high capabilities of displacing Fe atoms contained in the ferrites.
In these hexagonal ferrites, the appropriate displacement amount by a divalent metal (MII) and a pentavalent metal (MV) varies with the combination of MII and MV, but it is preferably 0.5 to 1.5 atom per chemical formula of MII.
When the relation between displacing elements and their displacement amounts is examined taking a magnetoplumbite type Ba ferrite as an example, the chemical formula of the displacement product is expressed as follows:
BaFe12-(x+y+z) MIIx MVy Snz O19
wherein x, y and z represent respective displacement amounts of MII, MV and Sn atom per chemical formula. MII, MV and Sn are divalent, pentavalent and tetravent, respectively, and Fe atoms to be displaced are trivalent. Accordingly, the relation of y=(x-z)/2 is valid when the value compensation is taken into consideration. That is, the displacement amount by MV is unequivocally decided from the displacement amounts of MII and Sn. The coercive force (Hc) of the above ferromagnetic powder is usually not less than 200 Oe, preferably not less than 300 Oe.
The size of the magnetic powder is preferably not more than 0.3 μm, especially not more than 0.2 μm, in the longitudinal direction.
The specific surface area of the ferromagnetic powder measured by the BET method is usually not less than 20 m2 /g, preferably 25 to 80 m2 /g.
The shape of these ferromagnetic powder is not particularly limited, and any of needles, spheres and ovals can be employed.
The magnetic layer according to the invention may contain a fatty acid.
Such a fatty acid may be either monobasic or dibasic, and the number of carbon atoms contained in the fatty acid is preferably 6 to 30, especially 12 to 22.
Examples of suitable fatty acids include caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid, linolenic acid, linolic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, behenic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, 1-12 dodecanedicarboxylic acid and octanedicarboxylic acid.
Among them, myristic acid, oleic acid and stearic acid are particularly preferred.
Further, adding a fatty acid ester to the magnetic layer reduces the coefficient of friction of the magnetic layer, and thereby much more improves the running property and durability of the magnetic recording medium of the invention.
Examples of such fatty acid esters include oleyl oleate, oleyl stearate, isocetyl stearate, dioleyl maleate, butyl stearate, butyl palmitate, butyl myristate, octyl myristate, octyl palmitate, amyl stearate, amyl palmitate, stearyl stearate, lauryl oleate, octyl oleate, isobutyl oleate, ethyl oleate, isotridecyl oleate, 2-ethylhexyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl myristate, ethyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate, butyl laurate, cetyl 2-ethylhexarate, dioleyl adipate, diethyl adipate, diisobutyl adipate and diisodecyl adipate.
Among them, butyl stearate and butyl palmitate are particularly preferred.
The above fatty acid esters may be used singly or in combination. In addition to the above fatty acids or fatty acid esters, a lubricant of another type may be jointly contained in the magnetic layer of the invention.
Examples of such a lubricant include silicone type lubricants, fatty acid modified silicone type lubricants, fluorine type lubricants, liquid paraffines, squalane and carbon black. These may be used singly or in combination.
It is preferable for running durability of a magnetic-recording medium to be improved that a lubricant (fatty acid, ester of fatty aacid and others) used for the above-mentioned magnetic layer is used also for the conductive layer.
Binders usable in the magnetic layer are conventional thermoplastic resins, thermosetting resins, reactive resins, electron beam curable resins and mixtures thereof.
Suitable thermoplastic resins are those which have a softening point of 150° C. or less, an average molecular weight of 10,000 to 200,000 and a degree of polymerization of 200 to 2,000.

It is preferable for the binder (resin) used in the invention to be comprised of a modified resin having, as a polar group, one of --SO3 M, --OSO3 M and --P(═O)(OM1)(OM2) (where, M represents a hydrogen, lithium potasium or sodium atom; M1 and M2 each represent a hydrogen, lithium potasium or sodium atom, or an alkyl group; and M1 and M2 are the same with or different from each other). But such a polar group is not necessarily contained in the binder resin.
A transparent binder such as gelatin can also be used.

The above composition was thoroughly dispersed with a kneader and a sand mill, then filtered to prepare a paint for magnetic layer.
A 3-μm thick magnetic layer and a 0.8-μm thick conductive layer were formed on one side of a 70-μm thick photographic PET base subjected to corona discharge, by coating paint B and paint A in this order while subjecting the coated base to an orientation treatment in the coating direction. As a result, a magnetic coating film containing approximately 2.0 mg/100 cm2 of magnetic powder and approximately 1.0 mg/100 cm2 of SnO2 (hereunder referred to as Ex.-1) was obtained. The optical density of this magnetic coating film was 0.14.
A color photographic film was prepared by forming the following color negative emulsion layer on the reverse side of the above magnetic coating film.

A magnetic coating film was formed in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 7 parts by weight of a niobium-modified TiO2 (particle size: 0.4 μm) was used in place of the antimony-modified SnO2 in the preparation of paint A for conductive layer. The sample prepared is referred to as Ex-2.
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that the magnetic coating film was formed by carrying out the coating in the order of paint A and paint B. Sample Ex-3 so obtained was comprised of a 1.0-μm thick conductive layer adjacent to the base and a 2.5-μm thick magnetic layer formed on the conductive layer.
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that the conductive layer was not formed. The sample having no conductive layer so obtained is referred to as Comp-1.
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that the antimony-modified SnO2 was not added to the conductive layer. The sample obtained is referred to as Comp-2.
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that the magnetic coating film was formed using a paint for conductive layer which contained a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer having no sodium sulfonate group in place of the vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer having a sodium sulfonate group. The sample obtained is referred to as Ex-5.
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that the magnetic coating film was formed using a paint for conductive layer prepared by replacing the vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer having a sodium sulfonate group with a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer having no sodium sulfonate group and replacing the polyurethane resin with a polyurethane resin containing --PO3 Na2 groups. The sample is referred to as Ex-4.
With each of Ex-2 and Comp-1 to Comp-4, the average optical density was measured by Sakura Densitometer PDA 65 on the transmission mode, and the occurrence of static mark was checked. Further, a scratch test was carried out by scratching the backside of each film; and the load (g) under which the scratch starts occuring was measured by observing under a microscope while applying the load by the use of a needle of 1 mil (a radius of curvature at the tip of the needle is 25 μ). As the mark becomes larger, a film lowers in physical strength and becomes more liable to be scratched. The results are shown in Table 2.
