Abstract: The present invention relates to a complex of polymers and to the use thereof in a method of making paper, cardboard or the like. This complex of polymers is obtained by polymerizing water-soluble monomers: in the presence of a host polymer that comprises vinylamine functions and of a non-polymeric transfer agent, and in the absence of a branching or crosslinking agent of the ethylenic polyfunctional type. It is obtained as from a mass ratio of anionic monomer to water that is greater than 0.035.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a sheet of paper and/or board from a fibrous suspension, according to which, before the formation of said sheet, added to the fibrous suspension, at one or more injection points, are at least two retention aids respectively: (a) at least one water-soluble organic cationic polymer P1 having a cationicity greater than 2 meq·g?1, and (b) at least one water-soluble amphoteric polymer P2 of at least one anionic monomer and of at least one cationic monomer. The polymer P2 is added to the fibrous suspension after dissolving, in aqueous solution, the polymer P2 previously obtained by one of the following polymerization techniques: gel polymerization, suspension polymerization, inverse emulsion polymerization, dispersion polymerization. The polymer P2 has a factor F>2, said factor F being defined by the formula: F=UL2×[(100?A)/(100?C)] with UL: Brookfield viscosity of the polymer P2 at 0.
