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 ester 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 1,000 and 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-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 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 ink, ventilation property, stiffness and the like.
