'paper coating composition, coated paper substrate, method of making a coated paper substrate and process for preparing a paper coating composition'.

摘要

A paper coating composition is provided, comprising a polyvinyl alcohol graft copolymer comprising at least one side-chain polymer, formed from at least one carboxylic acid containing monomer, grafted onto a polyvinyl alcohol; and a further component selected from the group consisting of binders, thickeners and combinations thereof. The graft copolymer unexpectedly provides superior viscosification and water retention compared to results using a blend of the PVOH and carboxylated polymer where the two polymers were formed in the absence of one another.
