POLYSACCHARIDE GRAFT FOLYMERS OONTAINING ACETAL
GROUPS AND THEIR OONVERSION TO Al.DEHYDE GROUPS
This invention relates to novel polysaccharide graft polymers containing acetal groups and to the methods for their preparation. It also relates to novel polysaccharide graft polymers containing aldehyde groups and to their preparation from the corresponding acetals. It also relates to the use of the aldehyde-containing graft polymers as wet strength agents in paper. It further relates to novel acetal-containing monomers suitable for use in the polysaccharide graft polymerization.
As used herein, the term "paper" includes sheet-like masses and molded products made from fibrous materials which may be derived from natural cellulosic sources as well as from synthetics such as polyamides, polyesters, and polyacrylic resins, and from material fibers such as asbestos and glass. In addition, papers, made from combinations of cellulosic and synthetic materials are applicable herein. Paperboard is also included within the term "paper".
Cxidative and non-oxidative methods have been used to intrcduce aldehyde groups into polysaccharides such as starches, gums, and celluloses. The oxidative methods used have included treatment with periodic acid, periodates, or alkali metal ferrates. See U.S. Pat. No.

3,632,802 (issued Jan. 4, 1972 to J. N. Be~liller et al.) The disadvantages of the oxidative metlh~d include de3radation to lower molecular weight prcducts and the formation of carboxyl groups due to further oxidation of the aldehyde groups. U.S. Pat. No. 3,553,193 (issue Jan. 5, 1973 to D. H.
LeRoy et al.) describes an improved method for oxidizing starch using an alkali metal bromite or hypobromite under carefully controlled conditions, which reportedly results in a substantially greater prOportiQn of carbonyl groups (i.e., alde~yde groups) than carboxyl groups.
The non-oxidative methcds typically involve the reaction of the polysaccharide with an aldehyde-containing reagent. See U.S. Pat. Nos.

No. 2,803,558 (issued Aug. 20, 1957 to G. D. Fronmuller). Another non-oxidative method involves the acid conversion of acetal-contai,.ir.g polysaccharide derivatives to aldehyde-containing polysaccharide derivatives. See U.S. Patents 4,675,394 and 4,703,116 issued June 23, 1987 and October 27, 1987.
Polyacrylamide-grafted starch polymers containing aldehyde groups are disclosed in European Patent Appln. 147,380 (published July 3, 1985 with the inventors being D. N. VanEenam). Unlike the glyoxalated starch acrylamides of Williams (U.S. 3,740,391 cited above) the polymers contains polyacryl~mide grafted to the starch, but like the Williams product the aldehyde groups are introduced by glyoxalating the resulting product (or treating the product with other reactants containing two or more aldehyde units).
~296442 One of the disadvantages of introducing the aldehyde groups directly using an aldehyde-containing reagent, such as glyoxal, is the possibility oi the derivative crosslinking prior to use. This is a particular disadvantage when the prcducts are being used to impart temporary wet strength to paper via a crosslinking reaction with the cellulose fibers.
Therefore, there is a need for aldehyde-containing polysaccharide derivatives wherein the method for introducing the aldehyde groups is not dependent on a reaction with an aldehyde~containing reagent or direct oxidation to an aldehyde group.
The present invention provides a polysaccharide graft polymer which comprises an acetal-containing homopolymer or copolymer grafted to a polysaccharide base. Schematically, the graft polymer may be represented as Sacch-g - (M')x or Sacch-g - (M)y- (M')z , wherein M' represents a repeating unit derived from one or more ethylenically or allylically / A
unsaturated monomers containing an acetal group -CH , M represents a OA' repeating unit derived from one or more ethylenically or allylically unsaturated monomers other than an acetal-containing monomer M', x is at least 2 and y and z are at least 1, A and A' are independently a lower alkyl or A and A' together form at least a 5-membered cyclic acetal.
The present invention also provides a polysaccharide graft polymer which oomprises an aldehyde-containing homopolymer or copolymer grafted to a polysaccharide base. Schematically, the graft polymer may be represented as Sacch-g-(M'')x or Sacch-g-(M)y-(M'')z, wherein M" represents ~X96442 4 _ one or more ethylenically or allylically unsaturated monomers containing an aldehyde group (-CHO) and M, x, y, and z are defined as above, with the O CH
11 j proviso that the gra~t polymer contain no -C-NH-CH- groups.
The practioner will recognize that in the above structures the moncmer units (i.e., M', M", and M) may be randcmly arranged or arranged alternately or in blocks and that values for x, y, and z will vary depending upon the polymerization conditions and monomer reactivity.

A variety of methods can be used to prepare the above moncmers containing the arcmatic acetal groups. The first method involves the reaction of an alcohol-containing arcmatic aldehyde or acetal (e.g., 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfuraldehyde) with a polymerizable acid chloride (e.g., acryoyl chloride). The hydrogen chloride evolved in the reaction can be scavenged by a non-nucleophilic base (e.g., 2,4,6-collidine). This ..~
reaction can also be run in a two phase system in which the aqueous phase contains sodium hydroxide and the organic phase is a non-water miscible solvent (e.g., toluene). The resulting esters are isolated and purified ',;, by distillation. The second method involves the reaction of an aromatic chloromethyl aldehyde (e.g., 5-chloromethyl furfuraldehyde) with a polymerizable amine (e.g., vinyl amine) or polymerizable alcohol (e.g., allyl alcohol!. The reaction is carried out in a non-reactive solvent ~e.g., toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and the like). The reaction mixture is generally refluxed overnight. Acid scavengers may be used, but are not necessary. The products may be purified by distillation before use.
The method for preparing graft copolymers of polysaccharides such as starches, cellulose, and gums are well known in the literature. See, for example, Block and Graft Copolymerization, Vol. 1, R. J. Ceresa, ed., John Wiley and Sons (1973). Such methods, as represented by the teachings of U.S. Patent Nos. 3,809,644, 3,976,552, and 4,131,576, include poly~erizations in water, in water-solvent mixtures, and in the dry state and may be initiated by mechanical, chemical, and irradiative techniques.
The preferred method of preparing the acetal-containing polysaccharide graft polymers involves free radical polymerization of the acetal-containing monomer with the polysaccharide. Modification of starch by graft polymerization is described at pages 22-47 to 22-54 in Chapter 22: Starch and Its Modifications in the Handbook of Water-Soluble Gums and Resins, edited by Robert L. Davidson, McGraw-Hill Book Co., New York 1980.
Free radical initiating methods include physical (e.g., irradiation) and chemical methods (e.g., the use of catalysts). Suitable catalysts include those of the type that establish mild oxidizing conditions in the reaction mixture in the ooncentrations used and are usually classified as free radical formers or sometimes called peroxidic catalysts. This class of catalysts include, among others, hydrogen peroxides, aqueous soluble organic peroxides, hydroperoxides, persulfate salts such as potassium and 12964~2 ammonium persulfate, ceric ions, and redox catalysts. Other free radical catalysts are those classified as water soluble "azo" catalysts such as 2,2'-aao-bis(amidinopropane) hydrochloride. The reaction is typically carried out until all of the monomer is oonsumed. Typically, the starch grafts are prepared by suspending the starch in an aqueous solution, heating the suspension until the starch is gelatinized, adding the monomer, and then adding the free radical catalyst. Granular starches can also be used. They may be first heated in water at 50C for one hour to swell before cooling to room temperature for the subseguent polymerization reaction.
The aldehyde-containing polysaccharide graft polymers are prepared by hydrolyzing the corresponding acetal groups of the corresponding acetal-containing polysaccharides graft polymer at a pH of less than 7, preferably 5 or less, most preferably 2-4. Direct grafting of the aldehyde-containing monomer to the polysaccharide substrate is not recommended.
The aldehyde and acetal derivatives are useful in conventional applications where water-soluble or water-swellable polysaccharide derivatives are useful, for example, as coatings, adhesives and paper additives. The cationic aldehyde-containing derivatives are particularly useful as paper additives. They are useful as temporary wet strength additives, for example in tissue/toweling paper stocks, and as wet and dry strength additives for all paper types including liner board. Typical cationic and cationogenic groups include the diethylaminoethyl ether groups introduced by reaction with 2-diethylaminoethylchloride hydrochloride or 3-(trimethylammonium chloride)-2-hydroxypropyl ether groups introduced by reaction with 3-chloror-2-hydroxyoropyl i2964~2 trimethylammonium chloride. The aromatic aldehyde and acetal derivatives are particularly useful when used in combination with crosslinking agents such as polyamines.
The polysaccharide graft polymers may be prepared using only the acetal-containing monomers. However, in some applications where the presence of fewer aldehyde groups (formed by hydrolyzing the acetal) is desirable, other typical comonomers can be used. These can include ethylenically unsaturated monomers which may contain anionic or cationic charges. Suitable monomers include styrene and substituted styrenes such as vinyl toluene, ~-methyl styrene and chlorostyrene; com~ounds having the acrylic group as the polymerizable nucleus, such as acrylic and methacrylic acids, and salts or esters thereof (including the methyl, ethyl, and butyl esters); acrylonitrile; vinyl chloride; vinyl acetate and other vinyl esters; vinyl pyridine and vinyl pyrrolidone; vinyl ketones;
vinylidene compounds, such as vinylidene chloride; allylidene compounds such as allylidene diacetates; conjugated diene monomers such as butadiene-1,3, isoprene, chlorobutadiene-1,3; diallylamine and its respective salts, N-alkyl diallylamine and its respective salts, diallyl dialkyl ammonium quaternary salts, N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate and methacrylate and their respective salts, N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl acrylamide and methacrylamide and the respective salts and vinylbenzyldialkyl amine and their respective salts, and such acids as vinylsulfonic acid, styrene sulfonic acid, (meth-)acrylamidopropanesulfonic acid and their respective salts.
.
When the polysaccharide is starch, applicable starch bases which may be used herein may be derived from any plant source including co m, potato, sweet potato, wheat, rice, sago, tapioca, waxy maize, sorghum, high amylose co m, or the like. Starch flours may also be used as a S starch source. Also included are the conversion products derived fron any of the former bases including, for example, dextrins prepared by the hydrolytic action of acid and/or heat; oxidized starches prepared by treatment with oxidants such as sodium hypochlorite; fluidity or thin-boiling starches prepared by enzyme conversion or mild acid hydrolysis;
and derivatized and crosslinked starches. The starch base may be a granular starch or a gelatinized starch, i.e. non-granular starch.
When the polysaccharide is gum, applicable bases which may be used herein are polygalactomannans, such as guar gum or locust bean gum, which are heteropolysaccharides composed principally of long chains of 1i~4 -D-mannopyranosyl units to which single unit side chains o ~ -D-galacto-pyranosyl units are joined by 1 6 linkages and hereafter referred to as Ugums". Also suitable is gum arabic. Also included are degraded gum products resulting fro~ the hydrolytic action of acid, heat, shear, and/or enzyme; oxidized gu~s; and derivatized gums.
When the polysaccharide is cellulose, applicable bases useful herein include cellulose and cellulose derivatives, especially water-soluble cellulose ethers such as alkyl and hydroxyalkylcelluloses, specifically methylcellulose, hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, and ethylhydroxyethyl-cellulose.
Several polymerization procedures may be used. In one method a water-soluble monomer is graft polymerized with a granular starch, gelatinized starch or any gum, cellulose, or cellulose derivative. The ~296442 procedure described in Block and Graft Copolymerization by R. J. Ceresa (cited previously) is suitable. In a second and preferred method, the grafting is carried out in a two,phase system as described in U.S. Pat.
No. 4, 131,576 issued ~ec. 26, 1978 to C. P. Iovine et al.
After completion of the graft reaction the solid acetals may be separated, if desired, from the reaction mixture by centrifugation or filtration. Preferably, the derivative is purified by washing with water in the case of the starch derivatives, with the aqueous solution of water-miscible solvent in the case of the gum derivatives or with the solvent in the case of the cellulose derivatives. Further washing with the same solvent may be desirable for the gum derivatives. The derivatives are then dried using conventional methods, as in a vacuum, dr~m, flash, belt, or spray drier.
The conversion of the polysaccharide acetals to the aldehydes is carried out under acidic conditions, typically at a pH of 7 or less, preferably 5 or less, most preferably at about 2-3. It may be carried out directly without isolation of the acetal or the acetal may be isolated as above, resuspended in water prior to conversion. If desired, the aldehyde derivatives may be recovered as described above.
In addition to preparing the above acetals, or aldehydes, modified derivatives may be prepared which contain other substituent groups, hydroxyalkyl groups (e.g., hydroxypropyl ether groups~, carboxyalkyl ether groups ~e.g., carboxymethyl), ester groups (e.g., acetate groups), tertiary amino groups (e.g., dimethylaminoethyl ether groups), and quaternary amine groups (e.g., 3-(trimethylammonium chloride)-2-hydroxypropyl groups or 4-(trimethylammonium chloride)2-butenyl groups), introduced prior to or subsequent the graft polymerization. One of the ~296442 advantages of grafting is that the reaction can be carried out at a neutral pH. Therefore, the more labile substituents present on the polysaccharide are not affected.
The acetal-containing monomers oontain a reactive vinyl group and an acetal group or cyclic acetal. The known acrylamide and methacrylamide nomers are prepared aco~rding to the procedure reported by R. Epton and J. V. McLaren in Polymer Vol. 15, p. 565-1974). Acryloyl or methacryloyl chloride is added to a molar equivalent of N-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-N-methyl amine in a dichloromethane-aqueous caustic (20%) mixture at low temperature (-5 to 5C). The dichloromethane solution is separated from the aqueous layer, filtered, and stripped to isolate the product. The known methacrylate monomers may be prepared by reacting an alcohol-containing acetal compound with methacryloyl chloride in dichloromethane with triethylamine.
The novel acetal-containing monomers may be prepared in three or m~re ways. The first type of reactions are those between an alcohol- or amino-containing acetal and an acryl or methacryl oompound having a reactive site such as an acryl halide (e.g., acryloyl chloride), an epoxide (e.g., glycidyl methacrylate), or an isocyanate (e.g., isocyanatoethyl methacrylate). The second type of reactions are those between an alcohol- or amino-containing vinyl monomer and an acetal having a reactive site such as a chlorohydrin or an epoxide group (e.g., 2-(glycidyloxyethoxy)- ethyl 1,3-dioxolane). The third type of reactions are those between two moles of an allyl halide and an amino-containing acetal or between diallylamine and an acetal with a reactive site such as those above. Styrene derivatives having a benzylic halide can also be i296442 used in preparing acetal-containing monomers. The acetal-containing monomers can be converted to aldehyde-containing mDnamers by treatment with acid at a pH of 6 or less.
Either the acetal-containing or aldehyde-containing monomers are useful as vinyl polymerizable monomers (i.e., monomers polymerizable by vinyl type polymerization procedures). They may be used to form homopolymers or their mixtures may be used to form polymers thereof. They may also be used to form addition polymers with other ethylenically unsaturated monamers. The polymers may be prepared by solution, emulsion, precipitation, suspension, or bulk polymerization techniques. The preferred method is emulsion polymerization.
Suitable comonomers include one or m~re monomers containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated group such as tmeth)acrylonitrile;
(meth)acrylic acid and the esters, amides and salts thereof; itaconic acid and its functional derivatives, preferably the esters; maleic anhydride, maleic and fumaric acids and the esters thereof; vinyl ethers and esters;
styrene; ethylene; vinyl and vinylidene chlorides; and the like.
The aldehyde derivatives used as paper additives preferably contain cationic (e.g., such as the quaternary ammonium and tertiary amine group discussed above), amphoteric, and/or zwitterionic groups. These derivatives are dispersed in water before use. The granular starch derivatives are cooked to provide the dispersed derivative.
The starch may be cooked prior to graft polymerization to form the acetal, subsequent to graft polymerization, after conversion to the aldehyde, or during conversion of the acetal to the aldehyde. Cooking at pH 6 or less simultaneously converts the acetal to aldehyde and solublizes and disperses the starch aldehyde. Any conventional cooking procedure may 12964~2 be used, such as cooking a slurry containing the water-soluble or water-swellable derivative in a boiling water bath for about 20 minutes, blowing in steam to heat the slurry to about 93C (200F), or jet cooking. If a water-dispersible or water-soluble starch base is used for the preparation of the acetal, it will not be necessary to cook the acetal during the acid hydrolysis.
The aldehyde derivatives described herein may be used as beater additives, although their addition to the pulp may occur at any point in the paper-making process prior to the ultimate conversion of the wet pulp into a dry web or sheet. Thus, for example, they may be added to the pulp while the latter is in the hydropulper, beater, various stock chests, or headbox. The derivatives may also be sprayed onto the wet web. If the derivative is trapped in the wet fibers after spraying, it may not be necessary to use cationic aldehyde derivatives but they are preferred.
The aldehydes herein may be effectively used for addition to pulp prepared from any type of cellulosic fibers, synthetic fibers, or combinations thereof. Among the cellulosic materials which may be used are bleached and unbleached sulfate (kraft), bleached and unbleached sulfite, bleached and unbleached soda, neutral sulfite, semi-chemical chemiground wocd, ground wocd or any combination of these fibers. Fibers of the viscous rayon or regenerated cellulose type may also be used if desired.
Any desired inert mineral fillers may be added to the pulp which is to be modified with the aldehydes herein. Such materials include clay, titanium dioxide, talc, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and diato-macous earths. Rosin or synthetic internal size may also be present if desired.
The proportion of the aldehyde to be incorporated into the paper pulp may vary in accordance with the particular pulp involved and the properties desired (e.g., wet strength, temporary wet strength, or dry strength). In general, it is preferred to use about 0.1-10% preferably about 0.25-5% of the derivative, based on the dry weight of the pulp.
Within this preferred range the precise amount which is used will depend upon the type of pulp being used, the specific operating conditions, the particular end use for which the paper is intended, and the particular property to be imparted. The use of amounts greater than 5%, based on the dry weight of the pulp is not precluded, but is ordinarily unnecessary in order to achieve the desired results.
It can be appreciated by the practitioner that a large number of variations may be effected in selecting the acetal derivatizing reagents, reacting them with the bases, converting them to the aldehydes, and utilizing the aldehyde derivatives as wet end additives for paper in accordance with the procedure described above.
In the examples which follow, all parts and percentages are given by weight and all temperatures are in degrees Celsius unless otherwise noted.
Reagent percentages are based on dry polysaccharide. The nitrogen content of the cationic bases and resulting acetals was measured by the Kjeldahl method and are based on dry polysaccharide. The presence of aldehyde groups is determined qualitatively by the viscosity increase of a cooked (i.e., dispersed) slurry and/or gel formation upon hydrolyzing the acetal to generate the aldehyde and quantitatively by titration. The quantitative test is carried out by slurrying 5.0 9 of the polysaccharide acetal in sufficient distilled water to give 500 9. The pH is adjusted to 2.5 with hydrochloric acid. The polysaccharide is dispersed by cooking in a boiling water bath for 20 min. The dispersed polysaccharide is cooled and the solids determined. A 100 9. portion of the polysaccharide dispersion is weighed out, titrated with 0.1 NaOH to the first end point (inflection point is ketween pH 4 and 5) and the ml. of NaOH required is recorded (Tl). An aqueous solution (50 ml.) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (prepared by dissolving 34.75 9. of the hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 1000 ml. volumetric flask and diluting to the mark with water) is added to a 100 g. portion of the polysaccharide dispersion, heated at reflux for 60 min., and titrated with 0.1 N NaOH to pH 4.5. The ml. of NaOH required to reach the inflection point (pH 3.0-3.5) is recorded (T2).
% aldehyde = _ 2 Tl) x (normalitY of NaOH) x (2.9) polysaccharide weight *polysaccharide weight = 100 9. x ~ solids of dispersed polysaccharide Best results are obtained using an automatic titrator. A blank of base polysaccharide (i.e., unmodified by the introduction of acetal groups) may also be run.
In the paper tests, the tensile strengths are reported as breaking length (m.). The breaking length is the calculated limiting length of a strip of uniform width, beyond which, if such as strip were suspended by one end, it would break of its own weight. The breaking length (air dry) in meters (m.) is calculated using the formula B.L. = 102,000 T T' R = 3,658 R', where T is tensile strength in Kn./m., T' is tensile strength in lb./in., R is grammage (air dry) in g./m. , and R' is weight per unit area (air dry in lb./1000 ft. ). Paper specimens are selected in accordance with TAPPI T 400 sampling procedure.

No. 2,803,558 (issued Aug. 20, 1957 to G. D. Fronmuller). Another non-oxidative method involves the acid conversion of acetal-contai,.ir.g polysaccharide derivatives to aldehyde-containing polysaccharide derivatives. See U.S. Patents 4,675,394 and 4,703,116 issued June 23, 1987 and October 27, 1987.
Polyacrylamide-grafted starch polymers containing aldehyde groups are disclosed in European Patent Appln. 147,380 (published July 3, 1985 with the inventors being D. N. VanEenam). Unlike the glyoxalated starch acrylamides of Williams (U.S. 3,740,391 cited above) the polymers contains polyacryl~mide grafted to the starch, but like the Williams product the aldehyde groups are introduced by glyoxalating the resulting product (or treating the product with other reactants containing two or more aldehyde units).
~296442 One of the disadvantages of introducing the aldehyde groups directly using an aldehyde-containing reagent, such as glyoxal, is the possibility oi the derivative crosslinking prior to use. This is a particular disadvantage when the prcducts are being used to impart temporary wet strength to paper via a crosslinking reaction with the cellulose fibers.
Therefore, there is a need for aldehyde-containing polysaccharide derivatives wherein the method for introducing the aldehyde groups is not dependent on a reaction with an aldehyde~containing reagent or direct oxidation to an aldehyde group.
The present invention provides a polysaccharide graft polymer which comprises an acetal-containing homopolymer or copolymer grafted to a polysaccharide base. Schematically, the graft polymer may be represented as Sacch-g - (M')x or Sacch-g - (M)y- (M')z , wherein M' represents a repeating unit derived from one or more ethylenically or allylically / A
unsaturated monomers containing an acetal group -CH , M represents a OA' repeating unit derived from one or more ethylenically or allylically unsaturated monomers other than an acetal-containing monomer M', x is at least 2 and y and z are at least 1, A and A' are independently a lower alkyl or A and A' together form at least a 5-membered cyclic acetal.
The present invention also provides a polysaccharide graft polymer which oomprises an aldehyde-containing homopolymer or copolymer grafted to a polysaccharide base. Schematically, the graft polymer may be represented as Sacch-g-(M'')x or Sacch-g-(M)y-(M'')z, wherein M" represents ~X96442 4 _ one or more ethylenically or allylically unsaturated monomers containing an aldehyde group (-CHO) and M, x, y, and z are defined as above, with the O CH
11 j proviso that the gra~t polymer contain no -C-NH-CH- groups.
The practioner will recognize that in the above structures the moncmer units (i.e., M', M", and M) may be randcmly arranged or arranged alternately or in blocks and that values for x, y, and z will vary depending upon the polymerization conditions and monomer reactivity.

A variety of methods can be used to prepare the above moncmers containing the arcmatic acetal groups. The first method involves the reaction of an alcohol-containing arcmatic aldehyde or acetal (e.g., 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfuraldehyde) with a polymerizable acid chloride (e.g., acryoyl chloride). The hydrogen chloride evolved in the reaction can be scavenged by a non-nucleophilic base (e.g., 2,4,6-collidine). This ..~
reaction can also be run in a two phase system in which the aqueous phase contains sodium hydroxide and the organic phase is a non-water miscible solvent (e.g., toluene). The resulting esters are isolated and purified ',;, by distillation. The second method involves the reaction of an aromatic chloromethyl aldehyde (e.g., 5-chloromethyl furfuraldehyde) with a polymerizable amine (e.g., vinyl amine) or polymerizable alcohol (e.g., allyl alcohol!. The reaction is carried out in a non-reactive solvent ~e.g., toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and the like). The reaction mixture is generally refluxed overnight. Acid scavengers may be used, but are not necessary. The products may be purified by distillation before use.
The method for preparing graft copolymers of polysaccharides such as starches, cellulose, and gums are well known in the literature. See, for example, Block and Graft Copolymerization, Vol. 1, R. J. Ceresa, ed., John Wiley and Sons (1973). Such methods, as represented by the teachings of U.S. Patent Nos. 3,809,644, 3,976,552, and 4,131,576, include poly~erizations in water, in water-solvent mixtures, and in the dry state and may be initiated by mechanical, chemical, and irradiative techniques.
The preferred method of preparing the acetal-containing polysaccharide graft polymers involves free radical polymerization of the acetal-containing monomer with the polysaccharide. Modification of starch by graft polymerization is described at pages 22-47 to 22-54 in Chapter 22: Starch and Its Modifications in the Handbook of Water-Soluble Gums and Resins, edited by Robert L. Davidson, McGraw-Hill Book Co., New York 1980.
Free radical initiating methods include physical (e.g., irradiation) and chemical methods (e.g., the use of catalysts). Suitable catalysts include those of the type that establish mild oxidizing conditions in the reaction mixture in the ooncentrations used and are usually classified as free radical formers or sometimes called peroxidic catalysts. This class of catalysts include, among others, hydrogen peroxides, aqueous soluble organic peroxides, hydroperoxides, persulfate salts such as potassium and 12964~2 ammonium persulfate, ceric ions, and redox catalysts. Other free radical catalysts are those classified as water soluble "azo" catalysts such as 2,2'-aao-bis(amidinopropane) hydrochloride. The reaction is typically carried out until all of the monomer is oonsumed. Typically, the starch grafts are prepared by suspending the starch in an aqueous solution, heating the suspension until the starch is gelatinized, adding the monomer, and then adding the free radical catalyst. Granular starches can also be used. They may be first heated in water at 50C for one hour to swell before cooling to room temperature for the subseguent polymerization reaction.
The aldehyde-containing polysaccharide graft polymers are prepared by hydrolyzing the corresponding acetal groups of the corresponding acetal-containing polysaccharides graft polymer at a pH of less than 7, preferably 5 or less, most preferably 2-4. Direct grafting of the aldehyde-containing monomer to the polysaccharide substrate is not recommended.
The aldehyde and acetal derivatives are useful in conventional applications where water-soluble or water-swellable polysaccharide derivatives are useful, for example, as coatings, adhesives and paper additives. The cationic aldehyde-containing derivatives are particularly useful as paper additives. They are useful as temporary wet strength additives, for example in tissue/toweling paper stocks, and as wet and dry strength additives for all paper types including liner board. Typical cationic and cationogenic groups include the diethylaminoethyl ether groups introduced by reaction with 2-diethylaminoethylchloride hydrochloride or 3-(trimethylammonium chloride)-2-hydroxypropyl ether groups introduced by reaction with 3-chloror-2-hydroxyoropyl i2964~2 trimethylammonium chloride. The aromatic aldehyde and acetal derivatives are particularly useful when used in combination with crosslinking agents such as polyamines.
The polysaccharide graft polymers may be prepared using only the acetal-containing monomers. However, in some applications where the presence of fewer aldehyde groups (formed by hydrolyzing the acetal) is desirable, other typical comonomers can be used. These can include ethylenically unsaturated monomers which may contain anionic or cationic charges. Suitable monomers include styrene and substituted styrenes such as vinyl toluene, ~-methyl styrene and chlorostyrene; com~ounds having the acrylic group as the polymerizable nucleus, such as acrylic and methacrylic acids, and salts or esters thereof (including the methyl, ethyl, and butyl esters); acrylonitrile; vinyl chloride; vinyl acetate and other vinyl esters; vinyl pyridine and vinyl pyrrolidone; vinyl ketones;
vinylidene compounds, such as vinylidene chloride; allylidene compounds such as allylidene diacetates; conjugated diene monomers such as butadiene-1,3, isoprene, chlorobutadiene-1,3; diallylamine and its respective salts, N-alkyl diallylamine and its respective salts, diallyl dialkyl ammonium quaternary salts, N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate and methacrylate and their respective salts, N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl acrylamide and methacrylamide and the respective salts and vinylbenzyldialkyl amine and their respective salts, and such acids as vinylsulfonic acid, styrene sulfonic acid, (meth-)acrylamidopropanesulfonic acid and their respective salts.
.
When the polysaccharide is starch, applicable starch bases which may be used herein may be derived from any plant source including co m, potato, sweet potato, wheat, rice, sago, tapioca, waxy maize, sorghum, high amylose co m, or the like. Starch flours may also be used as a S starch source. Also included are the conversion products derived fron any of the former bases including, for example, dextrins prepared by the hydrolytic action of acid and/or heat; oxidized starches prepared by treatment with oxidants such as sodium hypochlorite; fluidity or thin-boiling starches prepared by enzyme conversion or mild acid hydrolysis;
and derivatized and crosslinked starches. The starch base may be a granular starch or a gelatinized starch, i.e. non-granular starch.
When the polysaccharide is gum, applicable bases which may be used herein are polygalactomannans, such as guar gum or locust bean gum, which are heteropolysaccharides composed principally of long chains of 1i~4 -D-mannopyranosyl units to which single unit side chains o ~ -D-galacto-pyranosyl units are joined by 1 6 linkages and hereafter referred to as Ugums". Also suitable is gum arabic. Also included are degraded gum products resulting fro~ the hydrolytic action of acid, heat, shear, and/or enzyme; oxidized gu~s; and derivatized gums.
When the polysaccharide is cellulose, applicable bases useful herein include cellulose and cellulose derivatives, especially water-soluble cellulose ethers such as alkyl and hydroxyalkylcelluloses, specifically methylcellulose, hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, and ethylhydroxyethyl-cellulose.
Several polymerization procedures may be used. In one method a water-soluble monomer is graft polymerized with a granular starch, gelatinized starch or any gum, cellulose, or cellulose derivative. The ~296442 procedure described in Block and Graft Copolymerization by R. J. Ceresa (cited previously) is suitable. In a second and preferred method, the grafting is carried out in a two,phase system as described in U.S. Pat.
No. 4, 131,576 issued ~ec. 26, 1978 to C. P. Iovine et al.
After completion of the graft reaction the solid acetals may be separated, if desired, from the reaction mixture by centrifugation or filtration. Preferably, the derivative is purified by washing with water in the case of the starch derivatives, with the aqueous solution of water-miscible solvent in the case of the gum derivatives or with the solvent in the case of the cellulose derivatives. Further washing with the same solvent may be desirable for the gum derivatives. The derivatives are then dried using conventional methods, as in a vacuum, dr~m, flash, belt, or spray drier.
The conversion of the polysaccharide acetals to the aldehydes is carried out under acidic conditions, typically at a pH of 7 or less, preferably 5 or less, most preferably at about 2-3. It may be carried out directly without isolation of the acetal or the acetal may be isolated as above, resuspended in water prior to conversion. If desired, the aldehyde derivatives may be recovered as described above.
In addition to preparing the above acetals, or aldehydes, modified derivatives may be prepared which contain other substituent groups, hydroxyalkyl groups (e.g., hydroxypropyl ether groups~, carboxyalkyl ether groups ~e.g., carboxymethyl), ester groups (e.g., acetate groups), tertiary amino groups (e.g., dimethylaminoethyl ether groups), and quaternary amine groups (e.g., 3-(trimethylammonium chloride)-2-hydroxypropyl groups or 4-(trimethylammonium chloride)2-butenyl groups), introduced prior to or subsequent the graft polymerization. One of the ~296442 advantages of grafting is that the reaction can be carried out at a neutral pH. Therefore, the more labile substituents present on the polysaccharide are not affected.
The acetal-containing monomers oontain a reactive vinyl group and an acetal group or cyclic acetal. The known acrylamide and methacrylamide nomers are prepared aco~rding to the procedure reported by R. Epton and J. V. McLaren in Polymer Vol. 15, p. 565-1974). Acryloyl or methacryloyl chloride is added to a molar equivalent of N-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-N-methyl amine in a dichloromethane-aqueous caustic (20%) mixture at low temperature (-5 to 5C). The dichloromethane solution is separated from the aqueous layer, filtered, and stripped to isolate the product. The known methacrylate monomers may be prepared by reacting an alcohol-containing acetal compound with methacryloyl chloride in dichloromethane with triethylamine.
The novel acetal-containing monomers may be prepared in three or m~re ways. The first type of reactions are those between an alcohol- or amino-containing acetal and an acryl or methacryl oompound having a reactive site such as an acryl halide (e.g., acryloyl chloride), an epoxide (e.g., glycidyl methacrylate), or an isocyanate (e.g., isocyanatoethyl methacrylate). The second type of reactions are those between an alcohol- or amino-containing vinyl monomer and an acetal having a reactive site such as a chlorohydrin or an epoxide group (e.g., 2-(glycidyloxyethoxy)- ethyl 1,3-dioxolane). The third type of reactions are those between two moles of an allyl halide and an amino-containing acetal or between diallylamine and an acetal with a reactive site such as those above. Styrene derivatives having a benzylic halide can also be i296442 used in preparing acetal-containing monomers. The acetal-containing monomers can be converted to aldehyde-containing mDnamers by treatment with acid at a pH of 6 or less.
Either the acetal-containing or aldehyde-containing monomers are useful as vinyl polymerizable monomers (i.e., monomers polymerizable by vinyl type polymerization procedures). They may be used to form homopolymers or their mixtures may be used to form polymers thereof. They may also be used to form addition polymers with other ethylenically unsaturated monamers. The polymers may be prepared by solution, emulsion, precipitation, suspension, or bulk polymerization techniques. The preferred method is emulsion polymerization.
Suitable comonomers include one or m~re monomers containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated group such as tmeth)acrylonitrile;
(meth)acrylic acid and the esters, amides and salts thereof; itaconic acid and its functional derivatives, preferably the esters; maleic anhydride, maleic and fumaric acids and the esters thereof; vinyl ethers and esters;
styrene; ethylene; vinyl and vinylidene chlorides; and the like.
The aldehyde derivatives used as paper additives preferably contain cationic (e.g., such as the quaternary ammonium and tertiary amine group discussed above), amphoteric, and/or zwitterionic groups. These derivatives are dispersed in water before use. The granular starch derivatives are cooked to provide the dispersed derivative.
The starch may be cooked prior to graft polymerization to form the acetal, subsequent to graft polymerization, after conversion to the aldehyde, or during conversion of the acetal to the aldehyde. Cooking at pH 6 or less simultaneously converts the acetal to aldehyde and solublizes and disperses the starch aldehyde. Any conventional cooking procedure may 12964~2 be used, such as cooking a slurry containing the water-soluble or water-swellable derivative in a boiling water bath for about 20 minutes, blowing in steam to heat the slurry to about 93C (200F), or jet cooking. If a water-dispersible or water-soluble starch base is used for the preparation of the acetal, it will not be necessary to cook the acetal during the acid hydrolysis.
The aldehyde derivatives described herein may be used as beater additives, although their addition to the pulp may occur at any point in the paper-making process prior to the ultimate conversion of the wet pulp into a dry web or sheet. Thus, for example, they may be added to the pulp while the latter is in the hydropulper, beater, various stock chests, or headbox. The derivatives may also be sprayed onto the wet web. If the derivative is trapped in the wet fibers after spraying, it may not be necessary to use cationic aldehyde derivatives but they are preferred.
The aldehydes herein may be effectively used for addition to pulp prepared from any type of cellulosic fibers, synthetic fibers, or combinations thereof. Among the cellulosic materials which may be used are bleached and unbleached sulfate (kraft), bleached and unbleached sulfite, bleached and unbleached soda, neutral sulfite, semi-chemical chemiground wocd, ground wocd or any combination of these fibers. Fibers of the viscous rayon or regenerated cellulose type may also be used if desired.
Any desired inert mineral fillers may be added to the pulp which is to be modified with the aldehydes herein. Such materials include clay, titanium dioxide, talc, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and diato-macous earths. Rosin or synthetic internal size may also be present if desired.
The proportion of the aldehyde to be incorporated into the paper pulp may vary in accordance with the particular pulp involved and the properties desired (e.g., wet strength, temporary wet strength, or dry strength). In general, it is preferred to use about 0.1-10% preferably about 0.25-5% of the derivative, based on the dry weight of the pulp.
Within this preferred range the precise amount which is used will depend upon the type of pulp being used, the specific operating conditions, the particular end use for which the paper is intended, and the particular property to be imparted. The use of amounts greater than 5%, based on the dry weight of the pulp is not precluded, but is ordinarily unnecessary in order to achieve the desired results.
It can be appreciated by the practitioner that a large number of variations may be effected in selecting the acetal derivatizing reagents, reacting them with the bases, converting them to the aldehydes, and utilizing the aldehyde derivatives as wet end additives for paper in accordance with the procedure described above.
In the examples which follow, all parts and percentages are given by weight and all temperatures are in degrees Celsius unless otherwise noted.
Reagent percentages are based on dry polysaccharide. The nitrogen content of the cationic bases and resulting acetals was measured by the Kjeldahl method and are based on dry polysaccharide. The presence of aldehyde groups is determined qualitatively by the viscosity increase of a cooked (i.e., dispersed) slurry and/or gel formation upon hydrolyzing the acetal to generate the aldehyde and quantitatively by titration. The quantitative test is carried out by slurrying 5.0 9 of the polysaccharide acetal in sufficient distilled water to give 500 9. The pH is adjusted to 2.5 with hydrochloric acid. The polysaccharide is dispersed by cooking in a boiling water bath for 20 min. The dispersed polysaccharide is cooled and the solids determined. A 100 9. portion of the polysaccharide dispersion is weighed out, titrated with 0.1 NaOH to the first end point (inflection point is ketween pH 4 and 5) and the ml. of NaOH required is recorded (Tl). An aqueous solution (50 ml.) of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (prepared by dissolving 34.75 9. of the hydroxylamine hydrochloride in 1000 ml. volumetric flask and diluting to the mark with water) is added to a 100 g. portion of the polysaccharide dispersion, heated at reflux for 60 min., and titrated with 0.1 N NaOH to pH 4.5. The ml. of NaOH required to reach the inflection point (pH 3.0-3.5) is recorded (T2).
% aldehyde = _ 2 Tl) x (normalitY of NaOH) x (2.9) polysaccharide weight *polysaccharide weight = 100 9. x ~ solids of dispersed polysaccharide Best results are obtained using an automatic titrator. A blank of base polysaccharide (i.e., unmodified by the introduction of acetal groups) may also be run.
In the paper tests, the tensile strengths are reported as breaking length (m.). The breaking length is the calculated limiting length of a strip of uniform width, beyond which, if such as strip were suspended by one end, it would break of its own weight. The breaking length (air dry) in meters (m.) is calculated using the formula B.L. = 102,000 T T' R = 3,658 R', where T is tensile strength in Kn./m., T' is tensile strength in lb./in., R is grammage (air dry) in g./m. , and R' is weight per unit area (air dry in lb./1000 ft. ). Paper specimens are selected in accordance with TAPPI T 400 sampling procedure.

The following methods were used to graft polymerize the acetal containing monomer onto starch.
Method A
The acetal-containing monomer (8.0 g) was dissolved in degassed water (16.0 g) in a 250 ml. four neck round bottom flask, equipped with mechanical stirrer, condenser, addition funnel, and nitrcgen gas inlet. Tb this was ;added 40.0 g granular starch, 100 g Isopar M*(a branched-chain isoparaffinic oil obtained from Exxon Corporation), 3.72 9 Tween 85*and 0.94 9 Span 80*(surfactants obtained from Imperial Chemical Industries).
The temperature of the resulting suspension was raised to 65 to C, and t-butyl peroxypivalate (0.2 ml. in 2 ml Isopar M) was added in three * Trade Mark portions, one hour apart. The reaction was held for an additional three hours and then filtered,washed with an ethanol-water mixture (50%), and dried.
ethod B
A starch dispersion was prepared by cooking 30 9 of an acid-hydrolyzed starch having a water fluidity (WF) of 85 in 60 9 of degassed water for 20 minutes. It was added to a 250 ml four-neck round bottom flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, condenser, addition funnel, and nitrcgen gas inlet. The acetal-containing moncmer (6.0 9) was added with stirring and the temperature was raised to about 65-70C. An initiator solution of t-butyl hydrogen peroxide (0.1 9. of a 72% solution further diluted in 3.0 9 degassed water) was added in three portions, one hour apart. The reaction mixture was held for an additional three hours. The resulting starch dispersion was acetone precipitated, filtered, washed, and dried.
The results are summarized in Table I. The results show that the starches modified by the introduction of an unsaturated substituent (i.e., 3-allyloxy 2-hydroxypropyl ether groups from reaction with allyl glycidyl ether) gave better grafting efficiency than the unmodified starch as indicated by the higher nitrcgen ~ or aldehyde %.
EXAMPLE IV
The following method was used to graft polymerize an a oe tal-containing monomer onto a oellulose derivative.
A total of 4 9 of N-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl), N-methyl acrylamide (see Example I for preparation of the monomer) was added to a 4-necked round bottom flask eguipped with a mechanical stirrer, condenser, addition funnel, and nitrogen inlet and 8 g of degassed water were added.
" ~2 29564~X
Hydro~yethyl cellulose (20 g), Isopar ~I*t50 g), Tween 85*(1.86 9) and Span 8~(0.47 9) were added and stirred to form a suspension. The temperature was raised to 65-70C. The catalyst t-butyl peroYypivalate (0.2 ml in 2 ml. Isopar M) was ad~ed in three ~ortions one hour apart. The reaction mixture was heated for an additional 3 hours, the heat was turned off, and mixture was stirred overnight. The product was washed three times with ethanol, then three times with acetone, and dried. The N content was 0.55~ (expected 1.34%).
E~MPrF v This example demonstrates that the aldehyde-containing moncmer designated XIII of Example II, Part A) can be used to form polymers other than graft polymers. Using standard emulsion polymerization techniques the moncmer was polymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl acrylate (EA), and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA). Sodium persulfate was used as initiator. The resulting latex had a solids content of 47.1%, Brookfield viscosity of 60 cps., and pH of 3.1 The polymer of EA~MMA/2-HE~/CH0-moncmer (80.5/4.;/S.5/9.5) was cast as a film. After air-drying the %
insolubles was 81.8~; after dyring for 5 min. at 130C the % insolubles was 83.8%.
EX~PLE Vl Cationic starch graft polymers were prepared and evaluated as temporary wet strength additives in a paper furnish of 30:70 bleached softwocd Kraft: bleached sulfite hardwocd. The testing procedure previously described was used. The graft polymers were prepared by ccoking the indicated derivative in water for 20 minutes. The starch dispersion was added to a 250 ml four-neck round bottcm flask, equipped \ L~lb 4 4 with mechanical stirrer, condenser, additional funnel, and nitrogen gas inlet. The acetal moncmer (designated No. I - see Example I), acrylamide, and optionally the cationic monomer dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (DMDA~C), Isopar M* a-nd Tween 85~were added and stirred to form an emulsion. The reaction temperature was raised to 65-70C, and the initiator (t-butyl peroxypivalate, 0.2 ml in 2 ml Isopar ~ was added in six portions at thirty minute intervals. The reaction was then held for an additional three hours. To quench the reaction, S drops of monomethyl ether hydrc~uinone solution (1% ethanol solution) was added.
The resulting emulsion was inverted to a 1~ aqueous solution by the addition of water. The solution was then adjusted to pH 2.5 with hydrochloric acid and cc,oked for 20 mins. at 95C on a steam bath to convert the acetal groups to aldehyde groups. The solution was added to the furnish in an amount sufficient to provide about 10 lb./ton.
The paper test results, as well as polymer ccmpositions, are shown in Table II. The results show that it makes no difference whether the cationic charge is introduced as a moncmer (i.e., ~M~AAC) or as a substituent on the starch (i.e., diethyl aminoethyl ether groups intrcduced by reaction with DEC). The dry strength and wet strength were oomparable for the polymer~ designated A, B, and C. Polymer D prepared with only 3% of the acetal ncmer showed lower wet strength after 5 secs.
(757 vs. 911-970) but ccmparable wet strength after 30 mins. (446 vs.
426-485).
.
lX96442 me results also show that the cationic starch graft polymers are significantly better in dry strength, wet strength, and temporary wet strength than neutral synthetic polymers containing an equivalent amount of the acetal monomers. The poor results shown by the neutral synthetic polymers were probably due to poor retention of the polymer on the paper.
The performance of the synthetic polymer was improved by the use of a cationic monomer, i.e., methylacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride (MAPTAC). However, at the lower level of acetal monomer (5 parts) the wet strength was significantly lower (648 vs. 911 after 5 secs. and 238 vs.
441 after 30 mins.). At the higher level of acetal monomer (10 parts) the dry strength was still less (5880 vs. 6232) but the wet strength was comparable (975 vs. 970 after 5 secs. and 436 vs. 426 after 30 mins.).
EXAMPLE VI
Amphoteric starch grAft polymers were prepared and evaluated as temporary wet strength additives in paper using the preparation procedure and furnish of Example V. When the starch was a cationic starch derivative containing diethyl aminoethyl ether groups, the monomers used were the acetal (designated I - see Example I), acrylamide, and acrylic acid dissolved in water and neutralized to pH 5.5 with 10~ sodium hydroxide. When the starch was an amphoteric starch derivative containing the above cationic group and phosphate as the anionic group (introduced by treatment with sodium trimetaphosphate), the monomers used were the acetal (designated I) and acrylamide.
The results in Table III show that amphoteric starch graft copolymers gave comparable wet and dry strength when the starch contained the unsaturated group introduced by reaction with allyl glycidyl ether (ASE).
When the AGE was not present, the wet strength was lower (337 vs. 515-589 iZ9644'Z
after 5 secs and 149 vs. 218-342 after 30 mins). It made no difference whether the anionic group was introduced by way of the monc~er, i.e., the sodium acrylate, or was present on the starch as a phosphate substituent.
In ccmparison with the cationic starch graft polymers of Table II, the amphoteric graft polymers (both containing AGE) were only slightly lower in dry strength ~5138-5999 vs. 5910-6232) but considerably lower in wet strength (515-589 vs. 757-970 after 5 secs and 149-342 vs. 426-485 after 30 mins).
EXAMPLE VII
This example describes a method for crosslinking the derivatives of Example III, where the monc~er is an arc~atic acetal, using various polyfunctional ccmpounds such as polyethyleneimines, diethylene triamine, 2,5-hexanedione, and adipic dihydrazide. The derivatives are dispersed by cooking for 20 minutes at a pH of 2.5 in a boiling water bath. By cooking at pH 2.5 the acetal is converted to the aldehyde. After the addition of 2-10%, preferably 1-5~ (based on the starch) of one of the polyfunctional ccmpounds, the starch cooks would be expected to change frcm a creamy consistency to a gel, indicating crosslinking had occurred.

The performance of the synthetic polymer was improved by the use of a cationic monomer, i.e., methylacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride (MAPTAC). However, at the lower level of acetal monomer (5 parts) the wet strength was significantly lower (648 vs. 911 after 5 secs. and 238 vs.
441 after 30 mins.). At the higher level of acetal monomer (10 parts) the dry strength was still less (5880 vs. 6232) but the wet strength was comparable (975 vs. 970 after 5 secs. and 436 vs. 426 after 30 mins.).
EXAMPLE VI
Amphoteric starch grAft polymers were prepared and evaluated as temporary wet strength additives in paper using the preparation procedure and furnish of Example V. When the starch was a cationic starch derivative containing diethyl aminoethyl ether groups, the monomers used were the acetal (designated I - see Example I), acrylamide, and acrylic acid dissolved in water and neutralized to pH 5.5 with 10~ sodium hydroxide. When the starch was an amphoteric starch derivative containing the above cationic group and phosphate as the anionic group (introduced by treatment with sodium trimetaphosphate), the monomers used were the acetal (designated I) and acrylamide.
The results in Table III show that amphoteric starch graft copolymers gave comparable wet and dry strength when the starch contained the unsaturated group introduced by reaction with allyl glycidyl ether (ASE).
When the AGE was not present, the wet strength was lower (337 vs. 515-589 iZ9644'Z
after 5 secs and 149 vs. 218-342 after 30 mins). It made no difference whether the anionic group was introduced by way of the monc~er, i.e., the sodium acrylate, or was present on the starch as a phosphate substituent.
In ccmparison with the cationic starch graft polymers of Table II, the amphoteric graft polymers (both containing AGE) were only slightly lower in dry strength ~5138-5999 vs. 5910-6232) but considerably lower in wet strength (515-589 vs. 757-970 after 5 secs and 149-342 vs. 426-485 after 30 mins).
EXAMPLE VII
This example describes a method for crosslinking the derivatives of Example III, where the monc~er is an arc~atic acetal, using various polyfunctional ccmpounds such as polyethyleneimines, diethylene triamine, 2,5-hexanedione, and adipic dihydrazide. The derivatives are dispersed by cooking for 20 minutes at a pH of 2.5 in a boiling water bath. By cooking at pH 2.5 the acetal is converted to the aldehyde. After the addition of 2-10%, preferably 1-5~ (based on the starch) of one of the polyfunctional ccmpounds, the starch cooks would be expected to change frcm a creamy consistency to a gel, indicating crosslinking had occurred.
