Abstract

To improve the hydrophobic effect of allyl succinic anhydride (ASA) in paper sizing, the work aims to study the process optimization of cationic starch emulsified ASA emulsion particle size. ASA was prepared with internal olefins and maleic anhydride through an ene reaction (Alder-ene) and characterized by infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum analysis to confirm successful synthesis. Cationic starch, used as an emulsifier, was combined with ASA, and the Mastersizer 3000 was employed to investigate factors such as starch temperature, emulsification time, starch pH, starch viscosity, emulsification ratio of cationic starch to ASA, and emulsion storage time on ASA emulsion particle size and stability. The optimal emulsification process for ASA with cationic starch was found to be starch temperature 40-50°C, emulsification time 3 minutes, starch pH=4, starch viscosity 1 200-1 600 mPa·s and emulsification ratio 2:1, resulting in a stable ASA emulsion system. By adjusting the emulsification process of ASA with cationic starch, the Cobb value (49.6 g/m²) after ASA sizing is reduced by 28.5% compared to commercial products, significantly enhancing the hydrophobic performance of the paper.
