Abstract
Abstract Graft polymers are obtainable by free radical polymerization of (A) monomers or monomer mixtures of (a) from 10 to 100% by weight of open-chain N-vinylcarboxamides (b) from 0 to 90% by weight of other, carboxyl-free monoethylenically unsaturated monomers which are copolymerizable with the monomers (a) and (c) from 0 to 5% by weight of monomers containing two or more ethylenically unsaturated, non-conjugated double bonds in the molecule, in the presence of (B) natural substances containing saccharide structures, such as mono-, oligo- and polysaccharides, in a weight ratio (A):(B) of from 95:5 to 20:80 and, if required, subsequent hydrolysis of the amido groups of the polymerized monomers (a) of the graft polymer with formation of amino groups, and said polymers are used as dry and wet strength agents for paper, board and cardboard.
