In order to better discuss the role of surface chemistry in photography, it is useful to consider some of the basic features of photographic elements (paper, film, etc.) morphology, exposure and processing. As a start, consider a multilayer photographic element such as that pictured in Figure 5.1. The layer structure illustrated is typical of a simple colour print material, such as colour paper or colour movie print films. Such materials comprise many different types of layers (1), and each layer is prepared as a thin film coating.
