Abstract

A polymeric UV absorbing compound which comprises UV absorbing monomeric units of at least 0.05 weight percent of ionic units which have an ionizable group which is ionized at all pH values between 5 to 10. Photographic elements which contain such polymeric compounds and methods of making such polymers and photographic elements, are also provided. The polymeric UV absorbing compounds are directly dispersible in water.
