MALEIC ANHYDRIDE B. C. Trivedi and B. M. Culbertson Ashland Chemical Company In just fifty years maleic anhydride has evolved from a little-known, little-used compound to a truly high-volume chemical. This relatively simple molecule plays a key role in numerous chemical reactions, finding applications in such diverse areas as adhesives, elastomers, plastics, coatings, and fibers, to name only a few. In organic chemistry it plays an important role ín functional-group chemistry and is used in such diverse processes as ionic, radical, and cycloaddition reactions. Moreover, the development over the last twenty years of new processes utilizing maleic anhydride, such as photochemistry, homopolymerization, and charge-transfer polymerization, suggests that the potential of this intermediate is far from exhausted. Maleic Anhydride contains both scientific background information and state-of-theart technical data on this unique chemical, collating information from over 30,000 references,... Tovább

Maleic Anhydride contains both scientific background information and state-of-theart technical data on this unique chemical, collating information from over 30,000 references, including patents. This volume provides not only a review and discussion of key raw materials, production procedures, and the economics of maleic anhydride, but alsó a look at the multifaceted chemistry and polymerization reactions of this monomer. Equal emphasis is given to the fundamental and applied chemistry of maleic anhydride, and the topics covered include laboratory and commercial syntheses, purification, handling, storage, commercial data, toxicity, and environmental health and disposal concerns. Comprehensive and timely, Maleic Anhydride is written for the diverse group of workers involved with this chemical, including chemists or chemical engineers engaged in fundamental or applied research, technologists, manufacturers, marketers, environmentalists, consultants, and patent attorneys. It will alsó fill a large gap on the shelves of those doing research and development work in adhesives, plastics, and the many other fields in which maleic anhydride has proved useful. approx. 875 pp., illus., 1982 ISBN 0-306-40929-1 \ \ Vissza
