Abstract
A graft polymer comprises a carbohydrate polymer having pendant 3-amino-2-hydroxy propyl groups grafted thereon and may be employed as a retention aid and strengthening additive in paper manufacture. When the carbohydrate polymer is a component of wood pulp the resulting chemically modified wood pulp may be employed in conjunction with unmodified wood pulp to incorporate therein the retention and strengthening characteristics.
