Anhydride copolymers were synthesized from acrylic acid and fatty alcohols (C12- C18, C18:1). These n-alkyl acrylates were treated with maleic anhydride in presence of hydrogen peroxide in second step, to form anhydride copolymer. The anhydride copolymer further reacted to n-butylamine to form poly (n-acrylate-co-nbutylmalemide). The compounds were used as pour point depressant (PPD) additive. The synthesized experimental pour point depressants were added in different concentrations to conventional base stock (150N and 500N), which had no other additive content before. Synthesized additives were effective as viscosity index improver but also lowered the pour point. These results were comparable with industrial product. Furthermore all additives showed antiwear (AW) and extreme pressure (EP) properties. The resultant anhydride copolymer can act as multifunctional additive, which is novelty of the work.

Poly(styrene--maleic anhydride) (SMAnh) is a petroleum-based copolymer with desirable properties that afford utility in both industrial and academic fields. The reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated polymerization of the bioderived comonomers, indene and itaconic anhydride, was explored using three chain transfer agents with varying activity, and generally well-controlled ( < 1.40) polymerizations were observed.

Cluster luminescent materials (CLgens) with nonconjugated structures have attracted considerable attention. However, their low quantum yield and limited emission wavelengths, which are confined to the blue-green spectrum, continue to restrict their applicability. In this study, maleic anhydride polymer chains were modified with -tristyrylene-1,2-diamine (TPM-NH), creating a secondary donor-acceptor structure through freely rotatable phenyl groups and amino-anhydride interactions.

Polymer-based catalysts have garnered significant interest for their efficiency, reusability, and compatibility with various synthesis processes. In catalytic applications, polymers offer the advantage of structural versatility, enabling functional groups to be tailored for specific catalytic activities. In this study, we developed a novel magnetic copolymer of methyl methacrylate and maleic anhydride (PMMAn), synthesized via in situ chemical polymerization of methyl methacrylate onto maleic anhydride, using benzoyl peroxide as a free-radical initiator.
