Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A method for sizing staple fiber and filament yarns comprising: contacting said staple fiber and filament yarns with an aqueous liquor of a sizing agent, wherein said sizing agent is a grafted protein obtained by free radical polymerization of (a) a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer in the presence of (b) a protein in water in a weight ratio (a):(b) of (0.5-90):(99.5-10).
Claim 2
Independent Claim
60 words
A method for sizing staple fiber and filament yarns comprising: contacting said staple fiber and filament yarns with an aqueous liquor of a sizing agent, wherein said sizing agent is a grafted protein obtained by free radical polymerization of (a) a monoethylenically unsaturated monomer in the presence of (b) a protein in water in a weight ratio (a):(b) of (0.5-90):(99.5-10).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
71 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein said grafted protein is obtained by free radical polymerization of (a) a monomer selected from the group consisting of monoethylenically unsaturated C 3 -C 5 -carboxylic acids, esters, amides, and nitrile, and vinyl esters of saturated C 2 -C 4 -carboxylic acids, styrene and mixtures thereof in the presence of (b) casein, gelatin, bone glue or a protein from soybeans, cereals, corn or peas.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein said grafted protein is obtained by free radical polymerization of (a) acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, an ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid with a monohydric C 1 -C 8 -alcohol, an N-(C 1 -C 4 -alkoxymethyl)-acrylamide or an N-(C 1 -C 4 -alkoxymethyl)-methyacrylamide in water in the presence of (b) casein.
