Photographic silver halide material with matte support

摘要

Photographic silver halide materials are prepared in a more economical and environmentally acceptable manner by using a specific matting agent in a hydrophilic subbing layer between a polymeric support and one or more silver halide emulsion layers. The matting agent has an average particle size of at least 1 mum and up to about 10 mum and a glass transition temperature of at least 120° C. Specific matting agents are composed of a polymer represented by the following Structure I:-(A)x-(B)y- Iwherein A represents recurring units derived from one or more polyfunctional ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers, and B represents recurring units derived from one or more monofunctional ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers, x is from about 5 to 100 weight %, and y is from 0 to about 95 weight %.
