Hydrophilic layers adjacent a stripping layer for diffusion transfer assemblages |
(57) Photographic assemblages are described wherein a stripping layer is employed to enable
an image-receiving layer to be separated from the rest of the assemblage after processing.
Each side of the stripping layer has a hydrophilic layer immediately adjacent thereto,
only one of which layers contains particulate material substantially insensitive to
light and in a volume percentage of 5 to 75 percent of the hydrophilic material-particulate
material mixture, so that upon separation, substantially all of the stripping layer
will remain with the portion of the assemblage having the hydrophilic layer containing
the particulate material.
Transparencies or prints which are less bulky can thereby be obtained from integral
assemblages.
