Disclosed herein is a vinylamine copolymer having the structural units represented by the following formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V): <CHEM> wherein X<(-)> represents an anion or hydroxyl ion, R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, M<(+)> represents a hydrogen ion or a monovalent cation, in which the molar fraction of the structural unit (I) is 5 to 85% by mole, the molar fraction of the structural unit (II) is 2 to 85% by mole, the molar fraction of the structural unit (III) is 5 to 80% by mole, the molar fraction of the structural unit (IV) is 0 to 40% by mole, and the molar fraction of the structural unit (V) is 0 to 8% by mole based on the total content of the structural units (III), (IV) and (V), a flocculating agent and a paper strength increasing agent using the vinylamine copolymer, and a process for producing the vinylamine copolymer. |
