  • Patent number: 4954419
    Abstract: A diffusion transfer photographic film unit comprising a support having thereon outwardly from said support (a) a dye image receiving layer; (b) a first peeling layer containing a copolymer of at least (i) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing at least one hydrocarbon group containing from 7 to 18 carbon atoms, and (ii) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, the homopolymer of which is soluble in water or an aqueous alkaline solution; (c) a second peeling layer containing a cellulose ester; and (d) a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a light-sensitive silver halide and a dye image forming substance. The diffusion transfer photograph produced using the unit of the invention has stable peeling properties, is not sticky, and is excellent in scratch resistance.
