[0089] Experimental Example

[0090] Paper preparation: The pulp used is bamboo fiber pulp with a beating degree of 45°SR.

[0091] The wet strength agent products of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were diluted to a solid content of 1%, with a target basis weight of 100 g / m² for paper. 2 The prepared paper sheets are dried in an oven at 105℃ for 15 minutes, then removed and cooled to room temperature before use. This is used to test the dry strength index of the paper.

[0092] Paper was cut into 15mm × 150mm pieces, soaked in water for 10 minutes, and then removed to remove excess surface moisture. These pieces were used as wet strength index test specimens. The specimens were then quickly placed on a tensile strength testing machine to determine their tensile index. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0093] Table 1

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] Table 1 shows that the wet strength agents provided in Examples 1-6, when used in bamboo fiber pulp, significantly improve the wet and dry tensile strength of the paper, resulting in excellent mechanical properties. In Comparative Example 1, the wet strength agent did not contain organically modified montmorillonite, leading to poor water barrier properties on the paper surface and significantly lower wet tensile strength compared to Examples 1-6. In Comparative Example 2, the absence of cationic starch resulted in insufficient bonding between the wet strength agent and the paper fibers, also affecting the tensile strength of the paper to some extent.

[0097] In summary, the paper wet strength agent and its preparation method provided in this invention can simultaneously improve both wet and dry tensile strength of paper. It uses a compound of triethylenetetramine and polyamide polyamine as the main chain backbone, forming a three-dimensional network structure through epichlorohydrin crosslinking, significantly increasing the molecular weight of the wet strength agent and its binding force to fibers. The introduction of double-bonded carboxymethyl chitosan and cationic starch enhances the hydrogen bond density between fibers through charge adsorption, while the antibacterial properties of chitosan impart anti-corrosion function to the paper. Organically modified montmorillonite, through CTAB intercalation and in-situ polymerization of acrylic monomers, forms a nanosheet structure, effectively preventing fiber water absorption and swelling, increasing the wet strength retention rate by more than 30%. The use of β-cyclodextrin encapsulation technology controls the slow-release reaction of methacryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride, reducing free monomer residue. 1,5-hexadiene diepoxide, as a crosslinking agent, can form a hydrophobic barrier between fibers, reducing the paper's stretching and deformation rate.

[0098] The embodiments described above are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. The detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
