  • Patent number: 5705632
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a cellulose acetate film comprises the steps of: cooling a mixture of cellulose acetate and an organic solvent to -100.degree. to -10.degree. C.; warming the cooled mixture to 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. to dissolve the cellulose acetate in the organic solvent; casting the obtained solution on a support; and evaporating the organic solvent to form the cellulose acetate film. The cellulose acetate has an average acetic acid content in the range of 58.0 to 62.5%. The organic solvent is acetone.

  • Patent number: 5663310
    Abstract: A cellulose acetate solution has cellulose acetate in a solvent. The cellulose acetate has an average acetic acid content in the range of 58.0 to 62.5%. In the first embodiment of the invention, the solvent is a mixture of acetone and another organic solvent. The organic solvent is an ether having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, a ketone having 4 to 12 carbon atom, an ester having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, or an alcohol having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. In the second embodiment, the solvent is the ether, the ketone or the ester. Processes for the preparation of the solution and a cellulose acetate film are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5326689
    Abstract: A photographic material which exhibits excellent dynamic properties and little curl is provided. The silver halide photographic material comprises at least one light-sensitive layer on a polyester support, wherein the polyester support is a polyester support having a glass transition temperature of 90.degree. C. to 200 .degree. C. and is subject to glow discharge treatment. The polyester support is preferably subjected to post heat treatment at a temperature ranging from 50 .degree. C. to lower than the glass transition temperature of said polyester support after the glow discharge treatment.
