BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, polymer compositions containing kneaded and dispersed titanium oxide have been used in photographic reflective supports or photographic paper in order to increase light reflection efficiency.
For example, JP-A-2-235045 and JP-A-2-242846). When kneading and dispersing titanium oxide into the above polymer, the kneading is usually done in a closed system at high temperatures to prevent deterioration due to oxidation of the polymer, so oxygen in the titanium oxide is lost and Ti2+ becomes Ti3+. However, there was a drawback that the whiteness of titanium oxide decreased (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No.
242846).

[0004] As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present inventors found that by using hollow polymer fine particles with high affinity for polymers instead of titanium oxide, not only light reflection efficiency but also gloss and film quality could be improved. It was discovered that very good results in uniformity could be obtained,
We have arrived at the present invention.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned objects of the present invention are to provide a polymer composition containing hollow polymer particles having an average particle size of 0.1 to 1.0 μm in a polymer, and a polymer composition prepared using the same. This was achieved by a reflective support for photography and a support for photographic paper.

The hollow polymer particles used in the present invention are:
They are white particles of polymer that reflect light because the interior is not filled with polymer and is hollow. Unless the hollow polymer described above dissolves during kneading with the polymer containing it (hereinafter referred to as the main polymer) at high temperatures and becomes unable to maintain its hollow state,
The material is not particularly limited, but it is preferably made of a crosslinked polymer, and in particular, one with a high degree of crosslinking is preferred. Examples of such highly crosslinked hollow polymers include hollow polymers of styrene-acrylic resin manufactured by Nippon Gosei Rubber Co., Ltd.

The average particle size of the hollow polymer used in the present invention is preferably 0.1 to 1.0 μm. 0.1μ
If it is less than 1.0 μm, it will be difficult to uniformly disperse it in the polymer, and if it exceeds 1.0 μm, it will be difficult to smooth the surface roughness when made into a film, making it impossible to obtain high gloss. .

[0009] Also, the inner pore diameter of the hollow polymer is 0.05~
The thickness is preferably 0.7 μm. Inner hole diameter is 0.05μ
When it is less than m, light scattering is insufficient and high whiteness cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the inner pore diameter is 0.7 μm or more, it is not preferable because it becomes difficult to maintain the hollow state during kneading or extrusion molding under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

In the present invention, the material of the main polymer in which the hollow polymer is dispersed is not particularly limited, but when the composition of the present invention is applied to a photographic reflective support, polyethylene terephthalate is a typical material. It is particularly preferable to use polyesters such as these and cellulose derivatives typified by cellulose triacetate. When applied as a film to cover the surface of a base paper of photographic paper, it is preferable to use polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene.

[0011] Also, unlike inorganic substances, hollow polymers have good affinity with the main polymer, so they can be contained in the main polymer in larger amounts than conventional white inorganic pigments, but usually their content is 0. It is preferable to set it as .1-20 weight%. If the content is 0.1% by weight or less,
When made into a film, the whiteness is insufficient and the intended hiding effect for the base material etc. in photographic applications is insufficient, but when the content is 20% by weight or more, the unique physical properties of the main polymer are maintained. It becomes difficult to do so.

As is known, the hollow polymer and the main polymer are kneaded at the melting temperature of the main polymer and under conditions where they do not come into contact with oxygen so as to prevent oxidative deterioration due to oxygen. Conditions that do not come into contact with oxygen are usually achieved by using a closed type, but are not limited thereto. In this case, since the whiteness due to the hollow polymer does not change before and after kneading, the desired whiteness can be easily achieved by using a designed mixing ratio.

Effects of the Invention As detailed above, the polymer composition of the present invention is composed of a mixture of a hollow polymer and a main polymer that have good affinity, so even if the amount of the hollow polymer added is increased, the composition remains uniform. The properties are good. Therefore, the whiteness of the film obtained from the composition of the present invention is sufficient;
In addition to being able to be used as a reflective support for photography, when a support for photographic paper is manufactured, the support for photographic paper has excellent not only whiteness but also gloss.
