Abstract: The invention relates to a paper product having 0.1 to 10 percent of an acid treated seed based fiber material incorporated into the paper making composition. The remainder of the paper product can be pulp fibers, for example wood fibers. The seed based fiber material is present on the surface of the pulp fibers and imparts certain properties to the paper product formed from it.

Abstract: There is disclosed a cationic crosslinked starch composition comprising at least one cationic crosslinked waxy starch and another starch. There is also disclosed paper products comprising the starch composition. The paper products are generally characterized by having improved internal bond strength. The use of the starch blends in the papermaking process results generally in improved paper furnish drainage and retention properties. Also disclosed are coating formulations containing the starch compositions of the present disclosure. Also disclosed are processes for producing the compositions.

Abstract: There is disclosed a composition comprising at least one cationic crosslinked starch and an organic or inorganic component or a mixture thereof. Included within the organic compounds are any functionalized organic compound such as a polymerizable organic compound, a non-polymerizable organic compound, an organic polymer, or a mixture thereof. Included within the inorganic components are inorganic metals, or inorganic compounds. The compositions are suitable for various applications such as cellulosic products, coatings, paints, and the like. Also disclosed are processes for producing the compositions.
