METHODS AND CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS FOR MODIFYING POLYMERS

摘要

The invention relates to methods and compositions for improving the fluid, electrical or strength properties of a polymer by binding an effector moiety to the polymer via a protein. The invention particularly relates to improving the properties of paper by binding thereto a moiety capable of conferring a property such as improved wet strength, dry strength or sizing, via a protein such as a cellulase capable of binding to cellulose in the paper.
