Abstract: They are mixtures of (a) from 1 to 99.9% by weight of a water-soluble epihalohydrin-crosslinked polyamidoamine and (b) from 0.1 to 20% by weight of at least one other cationic polymer.

Abstract: A process for preparing water-absorbing polymers by polymerizing a monomer solution comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated, acid-bearing monomer which may be at least partly neutralized, from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of at least one crosslinker based on the monomer, by polymerizing the monomer solution and aftertreating the resulting polymer with from 0.05 to 0.25% by weight of at least one postcrosslinker, based on the polymer, where the crosslinker is not a polyol, and from 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of at least one polyvalent cation based on the polymer.

Abstract: Paper coating slips whose additives comprise addition polymers or copolymers containing N-vinylformamide in (co)polymerized form, and their use.

Abstract: Described is a water absorbent comprising (a) particles of a water absorbent polymer, and (b) a nitrogenous polymer containing from 5 to 17 mol/kg, based on the total weight of the nitrogenous polymer, of protonatable nitrogen atoms. The water absorbent possesses an improved property profile featuring high absorptive capacity, improved fluid transmission and high wet strength.

Abstract: Aqueous slurries of finely divided fillers which are at least partly coated with polymers and which are obtainable by treating aqueous slurries of finely divided fillers with at least one water-soluble amphoteric copolymer which is obtainable by copolymerization of (a) at least one N-vinylcarboxamide of the formula ?where R1 and R2 are H or C1- to C6-alkyl, (b) at least one monoethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 8 carbon atoms in the molecule and/or the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium salts thereof and, if required, (c) other monoethylenically unsaturated monomers which are free of nitrile groups and, if required, (d) compounds which have at least two ethylenically unsaturated double bonds in the molecule and subsequent partial or complete elimination of the groups —CO—R1 from the monomers III incorporated in the form of polymerized units in the copolymer are used as an additive to the paper stock in the production of filler-containing paper, filler-containing cardboa

Abstract: Recording materials are produced by a process in which a mixture A comprising

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, starch/polymer combinations are provided. The preferred starch/polymer combinations are usable as paper additives, in the wet end of a papermaking process. Typical and preferred starch/polymer combinations of this type, result from combining a starch, having a polymer reactive carbonyl functionality, with a polymer, having a carbonyl reactive functionality, under conditions that allow for covalent interaction between the two. Typically usable components comprise oxidized starch and polymer having reactive primary or reactive secondary amine groups. Also provided are methods of preparing such combinations, methods of use, preferred papers including such combinations, and, analytical techniques usable in preparation of such combinations.
