Maize starch was subjected first to oxidation using H 2 O 2 in presence and absence of ferrous sulfate as catalyst and then to cationization using 3‐chloro‐2‐hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. A thorough investigation of the chemical and rheological characteristics of the oxidized starch and oxidized‐cationized starch samples was made. It was found that these modified starches display characteristics, which qualify them to function as excellent sizing agent and to less extent as thickeners for printing polyester fabric with disperse dyes. The differences among the oxidized samples prepared in acidic and alkaline media in presence and absence of ferrous sulfate with respect to carboxyl and carbonyl group content were explained on the basis of the different mechanisms involved in the oxidation reaction of starch. The amenability of the different oxidized starch samples to cationization and variation in the apparent viscosity after cationization of the oxidized starches were also reported.
