A maleic anhydride derivative, botryoanhydride (1), and a chromone derivative, botryochromone (2), together with three known chromones, eugenitin (3), 6-hydroxymethyleugenin (4) and 6-methoxymethyleugenin (5), were isolated from cultures of the endophytic fungus BCC 54265 of the family Botryosphaeriaceae. The structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR, HRMS and CD data. Compound 2 showed weak cytotoxic activity to cancer cell-lines.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how Poly(ethylene-co-(acrylic acid)) and maleic anhydride influence the properties of EPDM elastomers filled with cellulose and lignin.
- Adding these compounds improved thermal stability and elongation, while slowing down the vulcanization process.
- Maleic anhydride particularly enhanced tensile strength due to better chain mobility and stress transfer, making these modified elastomers beneficial for industrial applications involving biopolymers.
Polypropylene Modified with Polyethylene Through Reactive Melt Blending: Fabrication and Characterizations.

Conventional PP with a linear chain structure is not suitable for foam processing due to its poor rheological properties. In this study, PP was modified with PE through reactive melt blending of maleic anhydride-grafted PP (MA-PP) with a small amount of PE bearing glycidyl groups on its backbone (G-PE), with the aim of enhancing the melt rheological properties of PP to make it suitable for foam processing. An anhydride-epoxy reaction occurred between MA-PP and G-PE during the melt processing, resulting in the formation of a crosslinked polymer network, which was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy, a solubility test, and the presence of a rubbery plateau above the melting point.

Article Synopsis
- Millions of tonnes of plastic and glass waste accumulate globally, predominantly ending up in landfills, highlighting the need for better recycling methods.
- This study explores using recycled glass fines incorporated in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix, conducting laboratory tests to optimize manufacturing conditions and composite design.
- The research identifies an ideal formulation that enhances the mechanical properties of the composites, showing significant improvements in strength due to strong hydrogen bonding, paving the way for sustainable use of waste materials in structural applications.
Diels-Alder Reactions of Boron-Substituted Furans with -Phenylmaleimide: Strategies for Tuning the Reactivity and Selectivity.

The Diels-Alder reactions of boron-substituted furans with -phenylmaleimide have been investigated experimentally and computationally. In contrast to previous results with maleic anhydride, in this case potassium 3-furanyltrifluoroborate and the analogue at C-2 reacted efficiently, giving the [4 + 2] cycloadducts at room temperature with high yields. The diastereoisomer was obtained exclusively for the latter, while its C-3 counterpart showed variable / diastereoselectivities.

The current work presents the flame-retardant performance of hybrid polypropylene composites, reinforced with specific short woven flax fabrics (SWFs), short basalt fibers (BFs), and rice husk powder (RHP), using polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride (MAPP) as the coupling agent. Horizontal burning test (HBT), microcalorimeter test (MCT), and cone calorimeter test (CCT) were conducted on these composites. The formulations used were 25% SWF/PP, 25% SWF/20% BF/PP, and 25% SWF/20% BF/PP with 6% RHP and 25% SWF/20% BF/PP with varying RHP contents (6, 12, and 18%) in combination with 6% MAPP.
