Abstract
Abstract Starch ether derivatives are prepared by reacting a starch base with N-(2-haloethyl)iminobis(methylene)diphosphonic acid or with a N-(alkyl)-N-(2-haloethyl)aminomethylphosphonic acid. The derivatives contain aminophosphonic acid groups (or their salts) as zwitterion substituents which consist of either one or two anionic methylene phosphonic acid groups bound to a cationic nitrogen. Their cationic or anionic characteristics may be increased by introducing suitable cationic or anionic groups either by simultaneous reaction with the aminophosphonic acid reagent or by consecutive reaction either prior to or subsequent to the aminophosphonic acid reaction. They are especially useful as pigment retention aids in paper making processes.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The paper of claim 1, wherein M is hydrogen, an alkali or an alkaline earth metal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
93 words
In a method for making paper containing pigment, the step which comprises adding, as a pigment retention aid, to the stock at any stage prior to forming a web, a starch ether derivative of the general structure ##STR6## or a combination of (i) and (ii), wherein St--O represents a starch molecule, R is a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, a C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl group, ##STR7## valence number of M, said starch derivative being added to the stock in an amount from about 0.05 to 2.0% by weight of dry pulp.
