          Interference No. 103,088                                                    
               polymers and mixtures thereof                                          





                                          or                                          
                    a method for improving papermaking by                             
               accomplishing at least one of the results of                           
               reducing the amount of sizing required, maintaining                    
               the sizing                                                             
          content over time; improve the handling  properties of a                    
          formed paper web, including water release; improving the                    
          physical properties of the resulting paper, including filler                
          retention, filler distribution, tensile strength, and surface               
          coefficient of friction; and improving the optical properties               
          of the resulting paper, including brightness, opacity, and                  
          pigment scattering coefficient, the method comprising adding                
          to a papermaking furnish from about 5 to about 50 weight                    
          percent of filler material which has been surface-treated with              
          from about 0./1 to about 10.0 weight percent, based on the dry              
          weight of filler material, of a cationic polymer, which is a                
          dimer of the general formula                                                
                                    R-CH=C--CH-R

               where R is a hydrocarbon group selected from the                       
               group consisting of alkyl with at least 8 carbon                       
               atoms, cycloalkyl with at least 6 carbon atoms,                        
               aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, which has been made cationic                   
               by treatment with at least one of a polyamino-amide                    
               and a polyamine polymer, both of which have been                       
               reacted with an epoxidized halohydrin compound, to                     
               form tertiary and quaternary amine groups on the                       
               dimer surface.
