The Quintessential Alternating Copolymer Family: Alkyl Vinyl Ether co-Maleic Anhydride Copolymers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Maleic Anhydride Based Materials

Abstract

From the viewpoint of polymerization behavior, a characteristic property of both maleic anhydride and alkyl vinyl ethers is their low reactivity in homopolymerization under common conditions of radical polymerization. Yet, together they can be easily copolymerized to create alternating maleic anhydride/alkyl vinyl ether copolymer with high molecular weight (Fig. 4.1) [1, 2]. These copolymers prove to be extremely versatile, making possible molecular structure modifications to adjust their properties by varying the R group in the vinyl ether monomer units. Some of the C1–C18 alkyl vinyl ethers are commercially available. The practical importance of maleic anhydride–alkyl vinyl ether copolymers is related to the versatility of the chemical reactions that can be performed on the anhydride unit, yielding a variety of useful derivatives via and/or post-polymerization.
