Abstract: In a laminated product wherein at least one supported information-containing hydrophilic colloid layer is adhesively bonded on at least one of its surfaces to a protective hydrophobic resin sheet, improved adherence is achieved by using as the bonding adhesive a cationic crosslinked polymer obtained by:a) condensing a polyalkylenepolyamine containing at least two primary amino groups and at least one secondary or tertiary amino group with a dicarboxylic acid to form a polyamidoamine,b) subjecting the resultant polyamidoamine to a graft reaction in the presence of an acid catalyst with an alkene-1,2-imine, andc) crosslinking the resultant graft polymer with an epihalohydrin, an Alpha-Omega dihalohydrin ether or the ether compound obtained by reaction of epichlorohydrin with a water-soluble polyalkyleneoxide to form the water-soluble cationic polymer. With this adhesive bond, a tamper-proof seal can be obtained between the information-containing colloid layer and the hydrophobic resin protective sheet.

Abstract: A method for the production of a silver image by the silver complex diffusion transfer reversal process, said method comprising the following steps:(I) image-wise photo-exposing a silver halide emulsion layer of a photographic silver halide emulsion having in waterpermeable relationship with the silver halide at least one developing agent,(II) wetting with a practically neutral aqueous liquid the said photo-exposed silver halide emulsion layer and/or wetting with said liquid a development nuclei containing layer of an image-receiving material as defined hereinafter and contacting said materials thereby bringing said layers into waterpermeable relationship with each other, and(III) separating the contacted materials after formation in the image-receiving material of a silver image,wherein said image-receiving material contains in co-operable relationship: (i) physical development nuclei, (ii) a silver halide solvent being a silver complexing agent or precursor thereof, (iii) a watersoluble sulfite or sulfite p

Abstract: A sheet, ribbon or web material comprising a support made of a synthetic resin or a paper support coated with a layer of said resin, wherein a resin surface of said support is coated with a subbing layer and the subbing layer itself is coated with a hydrophilic colloid image-receiving layer containing development nuclei for silver image formation by DTR-processing, characterized in that the synthetic resin of said support is a polycarbonate or polypropylene resin, and said subbing layer contains in percent by weight on its total weight following ingredients: 1.3% to 80% of proteinaceous colloid, e.g. gelatin or caseine,0% to 85% of colloidal silica,1.

Abstract: A sandwich of sheet material and a plastic film on at least one side thereof is laminated together by advancing the sandwich in one direction between an opposed pair of rigid heating and pressure plates having mutually facing planar surfaces for contacting the sides of the sandwich. The plates of the pair being biased together under a pressure which increases in the direction of the sandwich advance while the pressure level across the plates transverse to the direction of advance at any locus along the plates is substantially uniform, and passing the thus heated and compressed sandwich between the nip of a pair of pressure rollers to complete welding of the sandwich together.

Abstract: Process for the production of a laminated article including a sheet support bearing a silver image produced by the silver complex diffusion transfer process in a layer containing developement nuclei, wherein such supported image is heat-laminated with a protective thermoplastic resin layer of sheet that covers it. The heat-lamination of the nuclei-containing layer with the silver image therein takes place in the presence of at least one of certain heterocyclic black-toning agents which are effective to prevent degradation of the neutral black coloration and density loss of the silver image as a result of heat-lamination.

Abstract: An image receiving material suitable for image production by dye diffusion transfer processing controlled by the development of (an) image-wise exposed silver halide emulsion layer(s), wherein said image receiving material comprises a supported image receiving layer free from gelatin and containing (1) a cationic polymeric mordant, and (2) colloidal silica applied from an aqueous acidic colloidal sol having a pH of not more than 4, and containing hydrated silica in combination with a smaller amount of colloidal alumina, the amount of said colloidal material to said mordant in the image-receiving layer being in a weight ratio range from 1/5 to 1/2, and silica (SiO.sub.2) being present at a coverage of at least 0.5 g per m2.

Abstract: A laminate is produced by bonding together two hydrophobic thermoplastic resin sheets at least one of which carries at least one hydrophilic colloid layer containing a photograph and/or other information on its inner side, by the steps comprising:(1) treating such information-bearing hydrophilic colloid layer with an aqueous composition containing a self-cross-linkable reaction product of:(i) an epihalohydrin or an Alpha-dihalohydrin,(ii) a water-soluble polyamide, and(iii) a water-soluble polyamine containing at least two nitrogen atoms separated by at least three carbon atoms and optionally also by at least one oxygen or sulphur atom and having at least two hydrogen atoms attached to different nitrogen atoms,(2) drying thus treated layer, and(3) applying heat and pressure to bond the hydrophobic resin sheets together with such hydrophilic colloid layer sandwiched there-between.
