Polymetric film
First Claim
1. A method of producing a coated film by forming a substrate layer of polymeric material, and applying, prior to the completion of any film stretching operation, to at least one surface of the substrate, a subbing layer composition comprising an organic acid which has a molecular weight in the range from 70 to 800 and a polymer comprising at least one or more repeating units comprising at least one or more pendant nitrogen atoms, the ratio of organic acid to polymer in the subbing layer being in the range from 1:
- 0.1 to 20 by weight, said repeating unit having the structure ##STR2## wherein Z represents amine, amide, quaternary ammonium, and/or wherein Z is protonated and associated with a negatively charged counter ion wherein the counter ion is selected from the group consisting of halide, phosphate and carboxylate,R1, R2 and R3 are the same or different and represent hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, nitrile, amine, amide, quaternary ammonium, ketone, ether, vinyl, and/or halide, phosphate or carboxylate salts thereof, andY, Y1, Y2 and Y3 are optional alkylene groups having up to 10 carbon atoms, which may be the same or different.

Abstract
A coated film having a polymeric film substrate with a subbing layer containing an organic acid and a polymer which has a repeating unit(s) containing a pendant nitrogen atom(s). The ratio of organic acid to polymer in the subbing layer is in the range from 1:0.1 to 20 by weight. The coated film exhibits excellent adhesion to photographic emulsion layers, even when applied prior to completion of any film stretching operation.
