PCT No. PCT/EP95/04075 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 29, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 29, 1997 PCT Filed Oct. 17, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/13525 PCT Pub. Date May 9, 1996In a cationic modification process for starch, starch is reacted with polymers that contain amino and/or ammonium groups in an aqueous medium at temperatures from 115 DEG C. to 180 DEG C. under an increased pressure and in the absence of oxidizers, polymerization initiators and alkali. The reaction is conducted so that maximum 10% by weight starch has its molar weight reduced. Also disclosed is the use of the thus obtained reaction products as dry strength agents for paper.
