Bleached kraft softwood pulp was sequentially oxidized with ruthenium tetroxide, peroxidized with hydrogen peroxide and then grafted with acrylamide or acrylonitrile monomers in the presence of ferrous ions. Good polymer loadings and grafting efficiencies were obtained. It was found that hot pressed dry paper sheet properties could be improved by a small addition of polyacrylamide-grafted pulp.
