Abstract: A color photographic material for the dye diffusion transfer process contains a temporary barrier layer that is applied from organic solution and consists of a mixture of(a) 40 to 95% by weight of a copolymer of 40 to 80% by weight of monomer I (vinylidene chloride, dimethyl butadiene or dichlorobutadiene) 18 to 50% by weight of monomer II ((meth)acrylonitrile or alkyl (meth)acrylate) and 2 to 10% by weight of monomer III (olefinically unsaturated copolymerizable mono or dicarboxylic acids, sulfonic acids or phosphonic acids) and(b) 5 to 60% by weight of a homopolymer of alkyl acrylate, hydroxyalkyl acrylate, N-alkyl acrylamide, N-hydroxyalkyl acrylamide vinyl acetate, or polycarbonate or cellulose acetate, or a copolymer of 80 to 99% by weight of alkyl or hydroxyalkyl acrylate and 1 to 20% by weight of a copolymerizable acid.

Abstract: Addition polymers containing at least 10 mole % of recurring structural units of formula I are useful mordants for acid dyes which preferably contain at least two sulfo groups. The polymers can be used together with the dyes in dyed layers of photographic recording materials, such as in antihalo or filter layers. ##STR1## in which Q represents N or P;R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 represent alkyl or carbocyclic radicals or two of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 complete a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring,R.sup.4 represents H or alkyl,X.sup..crclbar. represents an anion.

Abstract: As mordant for mordanting diffusing anionic dyes in image receiving layers of photographic dye diffusion materials the invention makes use of addition polymers having at least 10 mole % of recurring structural units of formula I ##STR1## in which Q represents nitrogen or phosphorus;R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 each represents a carbocyclic or alkyl group or two of these substituents complete a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ringR.sup.4 represents hydrogen or alkyl,X.crclbar. is an anion.

Abstract: An improved abrasion and scratch resistance and resistance to chemicals of photographic materials is achieved by applying a coating composition comprising an irradiation-hardening binder, a multifunctional acrylic monomer, optionally a diiso- or polyisocyanate and a photoinitiator to the photographic material and subsequently irradiating the coating composition with light from the ultra-violet region of the spectrum.

Abstract: A polymer of at least one compound A with at least one compound B, in which A and B correspond to the following formulae ##STR1##B: H--S.sub.n --Q.sup.1 --W).sub.m Q.sup.2 --S--H is useful in light sensitive photographic materials comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer.

Abstract: A photographic film unit for the production of colored transfer images contains an integral neutralization system consisting of an acid polymer layer and a retarding layer. The acid polymer layer consists of a copolymer of 5 to 50 % by weight of polymerized carboxyalkyl (meth)acrylate units together with other acid monomers and optionally nonacid monomers. A preferred carboxyalkyl (meth)acrylate is the dimeric acrylic acid. The acid polymer has high acid number and low glass transition temperature.

Abstract: Polymers, containing polymerized units of at least one compound of the formula ##STR1## and at least one compound of the formula ##STR2## are useful for the preparation of silver halide emulsions.

Abstract: A suitable mordanting polymer for the image receiving layer in a color photographic material for the dye diffusion transfer process is a water-soluble cationic polymer containing glycidyl groups. Such polymers can be made by quaternizing a basic polyurethane, polyurea or polyurea polyurethane of the formula ##STR1## with a quaternizing agent capable of introducing glycidyl groups. The recurring unit contains a quaternizable tertiary amino group, and the recurring unit B is derived from a bis-chloroformate or a diisocyanate.

Abstract: The neutralization layer (acid polymer layer) in a photographic film unit for the production of colored transfer images contains a crosslinked acrylic or methacrylic acid copolymer having at least 30 mol % of copolymerized acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and the crosslinking has been brought about by copolymerizing said acid monomers or the corresponding esters together with a crosslinking agent having at least two copolymerizable carbon-carbon double bands.
