Butler, Harris, Hartley & Leberman (1967) showed that maleic anhydride could be used for the reversible blocking of amino groups. The maleyl group could be removed because the protonated form of the free carboxyl group catalysed the hydrolysis of the amide bond, presumably by intramolecular general acid catalysis (cf. Bender, Chow & Chloupek, 1958). The present paper reports the effects of intr...

The influence of quartz (silicon dioxide) content on main physical and mechanical properties composites based low density polyethylene is considered. It shown that the introduction a compatibilizer – copolymer high-density with maleic anhydride into composition improves compatibility mixed components. use synthesized wax as plasticizer made it possible to significantly improve deformability hig...

Urea-hydrogen peroxide (UHP) was used in the presence of maleic anhydride as mediator in a simple and convenient method for the oxidation in high yield of some thiols to the corresponding disulfides. Peroxymaleic acid formed in situ from the reaction of UHP with maleic anhydride has a key role in this oxidation. Performance of the reaction in various solvents showed that methanol was the solven...

A novel method for the rapid preparation of starch esters is described herein, by rapid heating using microwave or conventional means. A 5-min method to prepare starch maleates with degree of substitution (DS) up to 0.25 was developed when microwave or conventional source assisted fast heating of starch in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) reacted with 0.5 equiv. maleic anhydride in the presence of 0.5...

In this research, at different quantities as fillers, Boric Acid, Calcite (CaCO3), SPT (Sodium Perborate Tetrahydrate) and coupling matters, 3%, MAPE (Maleic Anhydride Grafted Polyethylene), Titanate Silanyl (Vinyltriethoxysilane) were added waste paper. Composite boards pressed cut in 1 × 30 cm. order to identify some properties of the produced boards, experimental works applied according stan...

The copolymer VAMA was synthesized from vinyl acetic and maleic anhydride. A new all-polymeric blend with a high dielectric constant (ε) has been developed by blending polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with vinyl acetic-maleic anhydride modified polyamide (PA66-g-VM). The blend shows high dielectric constants (εblend = 20) and excellent mechanical properties. The SEM investigations suggest that th...

In the crystal structure of 2,3-di-methyl-maleic anhydride, C6H6O3, the closest non-bonding inter-molecular distances, between the carbonyl C and O atoms of neighboring mol-ecules, were measured as 2.9054 (11) and 3.0509 (11) Å, which are well below the sum of the van der Waals radii for these atoms. These close contacts, as well as packing motifs similar to that of the title compound, were als...

Nanocomposites based on polyamide 6 (PA6) and poly(ethylene-co-1-butene)-graft-maleic anhydride (EB-g- MAH) blends have been prepared via melt mixing. The effect of blend ratio and organoclay concentration on the crystallization and melting behavior of specimens were studied. Three types of commercial organo-modified clay (Cloisite 30B, Cloisite 15A and Cloisite 20A) were employed to assess the...
