Patent number: 5294301Abstract: A process for the manufacture of paper from pulp employs at least one graft copolymer of starch selected from the group consisting of starch graft-polymethacrylic acid, starch graft-polyacrylic acid, cationic starch graft-polymethacrylic acid and cationic starch graft-polyacrylic acid as a wet-end additive. The graft copolymer preferably has an add on amount of acid of from about 0.1 to about 50% based on the weight of the starch, and is typically added to cellulosic pulp in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 10% based on the weight of the pulp. Such wet-end additives are also useful in processes involving relatively high alum levels of up to about 15 or 25%, based on the weight of the pulp.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1992Date of Patent: March 15, 1994Assignee: National Starch and Chemical Investment Holding CorporationInventors: Velayudhan N. G. Kumar, Patrick G. Jobe

Patent number: 5258477Abstract: Various novel acetal- and aldehyde-containing monomers are prepared. They can be polymerized and copolymerized by conventional polymerization techniques. The polymers contain repeating units derived from one or more ethylenically or allylically unsaturated monomers containing an acetal group or aldehyde group and optionally one or more repeating units derived from ethylenically or allylically unsaturated monomers other than the acetal-containing or aldehyde-containing monomer such as ethylene, vinyl acetate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate or acrylic acid. Aqueous emulsions of polymers containing the acetal-containing monomers and a hydroxy-containing monomer are useful as binders for nonwoven fabrics.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1990Date of Patent: November 2, 1993Assignee: National Starch and Chemical Investment Holding CorporationInventors: John J. Tsai, Patrick G. Jobe, Robert L. Billmers, Rama S. Chandran, Paul R. Mudge, Michael T. Sarkis

They are prepared by a non-oxidative method which involves reacting the polysaccharide base, in the presence of alkali, with a derivatizing acetal reagent having the general structure ##STR2## and then hydrolyzing the acetal by adjusting the pH to less than 7, preferably 2-4. In the formulas, n is 1-3; R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are independently an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, or alkaryl group when n is 1, R.sup.11 or R.sup.12 is one of the groups when n is 2, or R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 are not present when n is 3; R.sup.13 is an alkyl group, optionally containing an ether linkage, or an aralkyl group; R.sup.14 and R.sup.15 are individually a hydrogen or a methyl group; R.sup.16, R.sup.17, and R.sup.18 are individually an alkyl group; Y.sup.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1988Date of Patent: January 8, 1991Assignee: National Starch and Chemical Investment Holding CorporationInventors: John J.

Patent number: 4866151Abstract: Polysaccharide graft polymers which comprise an acetal-containing or aldehyde-containing homopolymer or copolymer grafted to a polysaccharide base have been prepared. The monomer repeating units in the homopolymer are derived from one or more ethylenically or allylically unsaturated monomers containing an acetal group or aldehyde group; The monomer repeating units in the copolymer are derived from the above monomer and derived from one or more ethylenically or allylically unsaturated monomers other than the acetal-containing or aldehyde-containing monomer. A and A' are independently a lower alkyl or A and A' together form at least a 5-membered cyclic acetal; with the proviso that the graft polymer contain no ##STR1## groups when the aldehyde groups are present. The aldehyde-containing graft polymers are useful for imparting wet strength to paper.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1987Date of Patent: September 12, 1989Assignee: National Starch and Chemical CorporationInventors: John J. Tsai, Patrick G. Jobe, Robert L. Billmers
