Finally the results recently reported by DUBIN and Strauss are certainly worth mentioning, Potentiometric titration of alternating copolymers of maleic anhydride and n-butyl ether indicates that there occurs a conformational transition which is not exhibited by a copolymer of maleic anhydride and ethyl vinyl ether (Fig. 7). The anomalous behavior of the butyl copol3mier is clearly cormected with the establishment of hydrophobic interactions among the butyl groups. Dubin and Strauss conclude that the maleic anhydride and n-butyl vinyl ether copolymer is hypercoiled in dilute aqueous solution. These authors also point out that the behavior of the latter copolymer is identical with that previously found for highly charged polysoaps. 

New macroradicals have been obtained by proper solvent selection for the homopolymerization of styrene, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, and vinyl acetate, and by the copolymerization of maleic anhydride with vinyl acetate, vinyl isobutyl ether, or methyl methacrylate. These macroradicals and those prepared by the addition to them of other monomers were stable provided they were insoluble in the solvent. Since it does not add to maleic anhydride chain ends, acrylonitrile formed a block copolymer with only half of the styrene-maleic anhydride macroradicals. However, this monomer gave excellent yields of block polymer when it was added to a macroradical obtained by the addition of limited quantities of styrene to the original macroradical. Because of poor diffusion, styrene did not add to acrylonitrile macroradicals, but block copolymers formed when an equimolar mixture of styrene and maleic anhydride was added. 

Zeegers and Butler [43] studied the kinetics of the AIBN-initiated copolymerization of divinyl ether and ethyl vinyl ether with maleic anhydride in seven different solvents. The yield at 100% conversion as a function of the feed composition when the total monomer concentration was kept constant gave confirmation of the composition of these copolymers Divinyl ether maleic anhydride=l 2 and ethyl vinyl ether maleic anhydride = 1 1. The study of the initial rate as a function of the feed composition made it possible to determine the relative values of the different propagation rate constants consistent with a mechanism by successive and selective additions. In the ethyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride system, addition of ethyl vinyl ether is slower than addition of maleic anhydride in the divinyl ether-maleic anhydride system, the addition of divinyl ether is slower than addition of the first molecule, while addition of the second maleic anhydride molecule is slower than the first one. The study of... 

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. 

MVE/MAN Copolymem. Various iuol wl grades of polv(melliyl vinyl ether-co-maleic anhydride) (PMVEMA) are available. PMVEMA, supplied as a white, fluffy powder, is soluble in ketones, esters, pyridine, lactams, and aldehydes, and insoluble in aliphatic, aromatic, or halogenated hydrocarbons, as well as in ethyl ether and nitroparaffins. When the copolymer dissolves in water or alcohols, the anhydride group is cleaved, forming the polymers in free acid form or the half-esters of the corresponding alcohol, respectively. 

Several polymers were found to fit all or most of the above criteria and were used to prepare the carrier films. Many polymers have been used for this purpose, viz., ethyl cellulose, poly(y-benzyl glutamate), poly(vinyl acetate), cellulose acetate phthalate, and the copolymer of methyl vinyl ether with maleic anhydride. In addition to the base polymers, plasticizers were often needed to impart a suitable degree of flexibility. Plasticizers, which are found to be compatible with polymeric materials include, acetylated monoglycerides, esters of phthalic acid such as dibutyl tartarate, etc. An excipient was usually incorporated into the matrix of the carrier films. The excipients used were water-soluble materials, which are capable of creating channels in the polymer matrix and facilitate diffusion of the drug. PEGs of different molecular weights were used for this purpose. 

Neutral or negatively charged polymeric resins are commonly employed to provide styling benefits in products such as mousses, gels, hairsprays, and setting lotions. Typical examples in use today are the copolymer of vinyl acetate and cro-tonic acid, the copolymer of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate (PVP/VA), the ethyl ester of the copolymer of polyvinyl methyl ether and maleic anhydride (PVM/MA), and the copolymer of octylacrylamide/acrylates/butylaminoethyl methacrylate (Amphomer). 

Attempts have been made over time to improve the physical properties of novolacs. The use of phenol formaldehyde resins prepared in alkaline medium in photoresist compositions is mentioned in a Kalle Co. AG patent. The use of polyvinyl ethers in combination with novolacs to impart stickiness and plasticization action to the latter was patented by Christensen. Steinhoff, Isaacson, and Roelants of the Shipley Company mention the use of vinyl ethers in a patent on roller coating. Lower alkyl polyvinyl ethers, such as methyl, ethyl, butyl, and isobutyl, are added to novolac resins to improve coating flexibility and adhesion to metal surfaces as well as to improve resistance to mildly alkaline solutions. The use of styrene, methyl styrene, and styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers in combination with novolac was mentioned in several patents of both Shipley and Kalle Co. AG. When novolac is copolymerized with maleic anhydride, a resin that is readily soluble in alkaline solutions is obtained. ...

In a number of cases, the block used with the PDMS is sufficiently polar to give an amphiphilic block copolymer. Such materials form interesting structures in polar or nonpolar solvents. In the first case, the polar chains act like a corona around the nonpolar core, and in the latter, the nonpolar chains are a corona around the polar core. Examples include blocks of poly(ethylene oxide), acrylamides, sugars, glucono-lactone, hydrolysable siloxanes, and maleic anhydride—vinyl ethyl ethers. ... 

Alternating copolymers ( interpolymers ) of maleic anhydride and alkyl vinyl ethers are prepared by free radical polymerization in solvent, non-solvent or bulk media Products prepared from ethyl-, butyl-, hexyl-, and octyl-, and decyl- vinyl ethers are described in Table I. The decyl-copolymer was prepared by Dr A. W. Schultz. A methyl-copolymer ( Gantrez AN General Aniline and Film Corp.), not described in Table I, was included in some studies. Molecular weight estimates were...
