The invention provides a synthetic method for a cationic surface sizing agent, which comprises the following steps: taking an organic solvent as a homogeneous reaction medium, taking styrene, acrylic The invention provides a synthetic method for a cationic surface sizing agent, which comprises the following steps: taking an organic solvent as a homogeneous reaction medium, taking styrene, acrylicester and cationic monomer as comonomers, and adding a chain transfer agent and an initiator for polyreaction to prepare the cationic surface sizing agent with weight average molar mass between 1,000ester and cationic monomer as comonomers, and adding a chain transfer agent and an initiator for polyreaction to prepare the cationic surface sizing agent with weight average molar mass between 1,000and 2,000; and the weight percentage of the components is as follows: 60 to 75 percent of the organic solvent, 10 to 15 percent of the styrene, 10 to 15 percent of the acrylic ester, 2 to 10 percent oand 2,000; and the weight percentage of the components is as follows: 60 to 75 percent of the organic solvent, 10 to 15 percent of the styrene, 10 to 15 percent of the acrylic ester, 2 to 10 percent of the cationic monomer, 0.1 to 1 percent of the chain transfer agent and 0.1 to 1 percent of the initiator. The synthetic method adopts a homogeneous non-emulsion polymerization process and a high-efff the cationic monomer, 0.1 to 1 percent of the chain transfer agent and 0.1 to 1 percent of the initiator. The synthetic method adopts a homogeneous non-emulsion polymerization process and a high-efficiency catalytic system, and has high conversion rate; and the prepared surface sizing agent can improve the ring crush strength of paper, improve a Cobb value, quicken mature speed without getting diciency catalytic system, and has high conversion rate; and the prepared surface sizing agent can improve the ring crush strength of paper, improve a Cobb value, quicken mature speed without getting damp, reduce linting and dusting of the paper, obviously improve water resistance and strength of the paper, and improve application performances such as wear resistance, hydrophilicity of printing inkamp, reduce linting and dusting of the paper, obviously improve water resistance and strength of the paper, and improve application performances such as wear resistance, hydrophilicity of printing ink, ventilation property, stiffness and the like., ventilation property, stiffness and the like.
