Grafted maleic acid copolymer giving thermosetting kraft pulp
Abstract
Grafting 100–500 kDa hydrolyzed poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride), PEMAc, onto northern softwood kraft pulp fibers has two impacts: (1) the density of surface charge groups increases reflecting the high carboxylic acid content of PEMAc; and, (2) the succinic acid moieties in PEMAc can be converted back to reactive succinic anhydride groups by high-temperature curing. PEMAc grafting did not influence pulp refining characteristics. Papers made …
