PAE adsorption on polyelectrolyte-grafted pulp fibers
Abstract
Abstract The adsorption of cationic polyamide-amine epichlorohydrin (PAE) paper wet-strength resin onto bleached kraft pulp fibers was increased by grafting hydrolyzed poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PEMAc) onto fiber surfaces before PAE adsorption. The highly negatively charged PEMAc increased the sparse negative charge density on untreated fibers, enhancing PAE adsorption. The adsorption isotherm analysis provided estimates of adsorbed …
