Abstract
Cationic emulsions are obtained by the emulsion polymerization or copolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers such as vinyl acetate, etc. in the presence of a cationic group-modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Typical cationic group-modified PVA are the modified PVA's which contain a copolymeric unit having one of the following formulas: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is H or lower alkyl; B is ##STR2## R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each lower alkyl (substituted or unsubstituted) and X is an anion forming a salt with the ammonium N; and A is an inert bivalent organic group linking the N atom in B to the N atom in the amide group; ##STR3## wherein, in formulas (II) and (III), R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are each H, lower alkyl or phenyl; R.sup.8 is lower alkyl; and Y is an anion forming a salt with the imidazolinium N atom. Particularly desirable are the cationic group-modified PVA's containing the copolymeric unit (I) wherein A is ##STR4## R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 each is methyl and X is chlorine, or wherein R.sup.1 is methyl, A is --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 in B are each methyl and X is chlorine, and cationic group-modified PVA's co…
