Ethyl and butyl esters of poly(vinyl methyl ether)/maleic anhydride (PVM/MA) copolymer were introduced in the early 1960s for use in hair sprays. These polymers also have free carboxy acid groups that can be neutralized. Recommended neutralization is 10%, but products can be found in the range of 5—30%, and recommended neutralizers include ammonium hydroxide, aminomethyl propanol, and triisopropano1 amine. These were the most widely used polymers in hair sprays before their use decreased dramatically in the early 1990s. 

About one million tons of plasticizers aie used annually in Western Europe. Some 92% of this total is used to plasticize poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and about 95% of these PVC plasticizers are phthalate esters. In spite of the fact that there are several hundred plasticizers in commercial use in the world, only relatively few (ie, phthalates) are used in amounts that make them significant in toimage terms, and hence in their likely environmental input and impact. 

Small amounts of TAIC together with DAP have been used to cure unsaturated polyesters in glass-reinforced thermo sets (131). It has been used with polyfunctional methacrylate esters in anaerobic adhesives (132). TAIC and vinyl acetate are copolymerized in aqueous suspension, and vinyl alcohol copolymer gels are made from the products (133). Electron cure of poly(ethylene terephthalate) moldings containing TAIC improves heat resistance and transparency (134). 

Miscellaneous Commercial Applications. Dimer acids are components of "downweU" corrosion inhibitors for oil-drilling equipment (see Petroleum Corrosion and corrosion inhibitors). This may account for 10% of current dimer acid use (71). The acids, alkyl esters, and polyoxyalkylene dimer esters are used commercially as components of metal-working lubricants (see Lubrication). Dimer esters have achieved some use in specialty lubricant appHcations such as gear oils and compressor lubricants. The dimer esters, compared to dibasic acid esters, polyol esters and poly(a-olefin)s, are higher in cost and of higher viscosity. The higher viscosity, however, is an advantage in some specialties, and the dimer esters are very stable thermally and can be made quite oxidatively stable by choice of proper additives. 

Diazoketones [57] and esters [5S] react with hydrogen fluoride in organic solvents to give a-fluoroketones or esters, pyndinium poly(hydrogen fluoride) offers a convenient medium for the reaction (equation 13) [9]... 

Arcus and co-workers94 studied alkaline hydrolyses of neutral and anionic aliphatic esters in the presence of poly (vinylbenzyltriethylammonium hydroxide), 42 (PVBzTEA), as a catalyst. Baumgartner and associate95 also found enhanced alkaline hydrolyses of 43 (aspirin, anionic substrate), in the presence of 42 (PVBzTEA), in alkaline pH regions.

In summary, we have examined several new methods for cleaving ester groups in poly(styrene-b-alkyl methacrylates). Short blocks of methyl methacrylate are very difficult to hydrolyze, but can be cleaved with reagents such as lithium iodide and potassium trimethylsilanolate. These latter reagents, however, result in side-reactions which appear to crosslink the polymer. 

No volume change of the system as water diffuses in. Poly(ortho ester)s are rather hydrophobic (5). 

With respect to macromolecular drug-carrier approaches, the linear polysaccharide poly a-l,6-maltotriose (pullulan -OH) was combined with l-aminopropan-2-ol via the succinate ester in the following way [1613...

Another class of PSA-fatty acid-based copolymers has been synthesized from the ricinoleic acid and ricinoleic half-esters with maleic and succinic anhydride, poly(sebacic-co-ricinoleic acid maleate), poly(sebacic-co-ricinoleic acid succinate), and poly(sebacic-co-12-hydroxystearic acid succinate) (P(SA-RAM), P(SA-RAS), and P(SA-HSAS)) (Krasko et al., 2003 Teomim et al., 1999). These syntheses result in poly(anhydride-co-esters). 

Detailed studies led Gandini and Plesch to formulate the concept of pseudocationic polymerisations. These are reactions which show many of the characteristics of cationic polymerisations, but do not involve ions. Since they could see no other alternative compatible with general chemical knowledge, they formulated the reactive species as an ester, and they were able to support this view by direct experiments (formation of the ester in the styrene solution by metathesis). The evidence indicates that in the system styrene, perchloric acid, methylene dichloride, the poly(styryl perchlorate) ester requires four molecules of styrene for its stabilisation. When these are no longer available, the ester ionises, and the residual styrene is consumed by a very fast, truly cationic polymerisation ionisation of the ester is a complicated reaction which has been only partly elucidated. The initiation and propagation of the pseudocationic polymerisation can be represented thus ... 

Nakagome and co-workers effected the successful cyclization of N-ethyl-N-arylaminomethylenemalonates (749) in poly phosphoric acid, prepared from orthophosphoric acid and phosphorus pentoxide in polyphosphate ester (PPE), prepared from phosphorus pentoxide and anhydrous diethyl ether in chloroform in phosphoryl chloride on the action of boron trifluoride etherate on the action of acetic anhydride and concentrated sulfuric acid or on the action of phosphorus pentoxide in benzene [71GEP2033971, 71JHC357 76JAP(K) 18440]. Depending on the work-up process, l-ethyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylates (750, R1 = Et), l-ethyl-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (750, R2 = H) and 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-chloroquinolinium iodides (751) were obtained. Only the cyclization of... 

Time-resolved fluorescence has been used for the study of the PFR on poly(methyl methacrylate). It has been found that the photoproducts of 2-naphthyl acetate in some zones of the material act as long-range quenchers for the unreacted esters in other zones of the polymer. A nonrandom chromophore distribution is generated in this way [293]. 

Ru(CO)(den-por) (den-por=dendritic porphyrins). These are made by condensation of Ru(CO)L (L=5,10,15,20-tetrato(4 -hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin or 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3, 5 -dihydroxy-phenyl)porphyrin), themselves made from RUjlCO) and (L), with poly-(benzylether) dendrons H, C NMR, electronic and IR spectra of the products were measured. Epoxidation of cyclic alkenes, cis- and tranx-sfilbene, styrene and its 3-methyl, methoxy, chloro and bromo derivatives, dimethylchromene and of cholesteryl esters in high yields and turnovers was effected by RulCOKden-porl/lCl pyNOl/CHjClj [871]. 

Because the succinimide esters of poly(NAM-co-NAS) are susceptible to be hydrolyzed during storage, store purified polymer in a desiccator before usage. It is able to be used within 1 year losslessly.
