PROCESS FOR PREPARING CHAIN EXTENDED THERMOPLASTIC GUANIDINIUM POLYMERS

摘要

A process for forming a chain extended thermoplastic polymer which comprises reacting: (i) a prepolymer comprising one or more guanidinium or biguanidinium units and having at least one reactive end group; and (ii) a chain extender having at least two groups able to react with reactive end group(s) in (i). The polymers may be used as fixing agents to reduce highlighter smear of prints prepared by ink jet printing.
