Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing thermoplastic poly(vinyl alcohol) derivative in a melt state reaction and a product thereof, wherein the method thermoplastic poly(vinyl alcohol) that has been dried is heated and admixed with an organic acid anhydride that has a catenated carbon structure which ends into a vinyl group, such that a mixture is obtained which is above the melting point of the mixture, thereby causing an ester bond forming condensation reaction in a melt state, wherein at least some of the organic acid anhydride reacts with hydroxyl groups of the thermoplastic poly(vinyl alcohol), such that reaction product is formed which contains carboxylic acid residue and thermoplastic poly(vinyl alcohol) derivative which contains ester bonded pendant chains of which at least some end into vinyl groups. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a paper substrate and a product thereof, which contains a primer layer that contains the reaction product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a paper substrate suitable for binding silicone in a catalytic hydrosilation reaction and products thereof, wherein the molecular weight of polyvinyl alcohol is used to control the viscosity of the water-based acetalization reaction, such that a paper substrate may be coated with acetalized polyvinyl alcohol that contains high amount of functional vinyl groups, wherein the functional vinyl groups are part of catenated carbon structures which contain at least 4 carbon atoms and which have an acetal connectivity with the backbone chain of the acetalized polyvinyl alcohol.
