  1. An X-Ray Film produce an X-ray film on a polyester basis total thickness ~ 700 m emulsion thickness ~150 m no haze no halo

  2. From Task to Product the task beginning obtaining insight the mechanism the sub tasks the problems buy or make? the sub-products quantitative design dimensioning putting together integration final specifications the product

  3. Structure of a Film gelatin with silver halogen anti-halo layer polyester base anti-halo to avoid internal reflections

  4. Latent pictures taking a picture: metallic Ag: catalyst for conversion of whole crystal. 4..5 atoms of Ag are sufficient size of the crystals  sensitivity of film

  5. The Crystal (1) perfect crystal insensitive to light we need crystal defects simplifies production!

  6. The Crystal (2)Sensibilisation strange ions (e.g. S) at surface: chemical sensibilisation dislocations: mechanical sensibilisation

  7. X-ray films for medical applications high energy radiation simple sensibilisation low radiation dose large crystals crystal size distribution determines contrast of film

  8. Sensitivity emulsion crystal size (m) ultra fine grain pan films high speed films medical X-ray 0.03 0.7 2.0 2.5 sideline:

  9. Scheme (1) silver halogen gelatine emulsifying additives sensibilisation polyester basis anti-halo film hardening packaging drying cutting

  10. Gelatine function: manufacturing: disperse AgBr clean and break bones monitor crystal growth remove inorganic material (3 days in dilute HCl) control light sensitivity wash with water + NaOH bromium acceptor convert ossene to collagen swelling in water (100 days in a CaCO3 solution) (10-12 < D < 10-9 m s-1) Conclusion: Buy!

  11. Scheme (2) silver halogen gelatin buy make emulsion additives separation which? sensibilise how? polyester base anti-halo make buy film coating harden how? drying packaging cutting

  12. Emulsification (1) - emulsification precipitation of AgBr crystals light - ripening recrystallization for crystal size - washing removing of byproducts - sensibilisation sensitivity for appropriate photons dark - coating including viscosity regulation crystallization yields: defect-free crystals (insensitive to light) specific size distribution (important for contrast)

  13. Emulsification (2) AgNO3 add AgNO3 and stir AgNO3 + KBr  AgBr +KNO3 precipitate gelatin-AgBr ‘emulsion’ heat without stirring large crystals grow at the expense of small ones KBr + gelatin wash out KNO3 additives

  14. Emulsification (3)Adjusting Crystal Size sensitivity and contrast determined by mixing time ripening time small initial crystal growth, long ripening time: uniform crystals, long process time, high contrast large initial crystal growth, short ripening time: less uniform crystals, short process time, low contrast

  15. Emulsification (4)Example 1 400 mL water 20 g gelatin mixing time minutes crystal surface m2 13 g KBr 0.4 g KCl 0.14 0.28 0.50 0.82 1.47 2.25 0.5 4.5 10 20 43 55 2 400 mL water 20 g gelatin 20 g AgNO3

  16. Precipitation + Additives Precipitator: - alcohol or recovery necessary - ammonium sulfate Kodak patent Additive for biological conservation: OH p-chloro-m-cresol (0.1 % w) or phenol (5 % w) CH3 Cl

  17. N X X- N + Sensibilisation 2) spectral: 1) chemical: light sensitivity wave length (color) sensitivity spectral sensibilisation: red, orange etc.:  large,   small,  h small build in electron donors such as mercianins: + h  for X-rays:  small,   large,  h large: only chemical sensibilisation.

  18. Sensibilisation (2) high [S] low [S] crystal defects sensitivity increasing sensitivity Na2S2O3 addition Ag2S at surface crystal defects haze ripening time

  19. The Film emulsion anti-halo polyester make the polyester basis apply the coatings

  20. Processes coating calendering adjusting the calendar fluid requirements avoiding thermal damage coating thickness

  21. Specifications Product (customer specifications) 500 m thickness of the base 100 m anti halo 150 m emulsion Prepolymer specifications (data sheet of supplier) viscosity 2103 Pa s density 1300 kg m-3 specific heat 2200 J kg-1 K-1 Machine specifications (were still available) diameter of the drums 0.5 m motor power (effective) 5 kW length of the drums 1 m

  22. In the Calendar (1) H d0 no flow in the z-direction viscous forces dominate

  23. In the Calender (2) for the important regime so back to nearly parallel thin films……...

  24. Thin Film Theory (1) pinch profile pinch equation:

  25. Thin Film Theory (2) remember detachment

  31. Emulsion Thickness (2) boundary conditions and empirical constant

  32. Emulsion Thickness (3) adjust coating speed to production speed: anti halo layer: emulsion:

  33. Hardening (Cross-Linking) K Al (SO4)2 function: mechanical protection scratching chemical protection finger prints making emulsion insoluble developing
