Abstract (en)

A method is disclosed for the preparation of emulsions containing tabular grains with moderate aspect ratio and good monodispersity comprising following steps : performing a nucleation step, a physical ripening step, at least one growth step at a pBr value lower than 2, concentrating the reaction mixture volume by ultrafiltration during the precipitation steps in such a way that, at any moment when said ultrafiltration is applied, the ultrafiltration flux is equal to or greater than the sum of the flow rates of the silver ion and halogenide ion solutions.
