Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0674221A1] Surfactants useful as dispersing aids in the preparation of compositions comprising a hydrophilic colloid having hydrophobic particles dispersed therein have the structure <CHEM> wherein R is H or methyl provided that when each n=1, each R is methyl; M is a cation; and, n is an integer from 1 to 6. Such surfactants offer coating, photographic property and processing advantages when incorporated in photographic materials comprising a support bearing a plurality of hydrophilic colloid layers including at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer wherein at least one of the underlying hydrophilic colloid layers of the material contains hydrophobic particles dispersed therein with the aid of the surfactant.
