5 Preface Within the chemical industry, the chemical compound known as maleic anhydride is a critical material that is globally produced at significant and increasing volumes. The wide availability of this compound is due to a precious coupling of low cost and high functionality. This functionality easily bridges the domains of chemical synthesis and transformation to extreme market application and diversification. This functionality is further reflected in the tens of thousands of peer-reviewed journal articles and granted patents that highlight some form of maleic anhydride utility. This book is written from the perspective of an industrial scientist. By bridging the science and technology found in both academia and industry, a comprehensive and contemporary picture of maleic anhydride s impact on the world today, as well as tomorrow, emerges. Perhaps the most unique aspect of this work is the group of scientists that prepared and contributed to this manuscript. They are all members of the Research and Development community at Ashland, Inc., where maleic anhydride is a core technology. This team closely collaborated and debated the most relevant technical topics, which should be of great benefit to the reader. Remembering that in 1982, B.C. Trivedi and B.M. Culbertson coauthored the seminal book entitled Maleic Anhydride, covering topics such as its production, chemical reactions, and polymerizations. This comprehensive treatise was a truly ambitious achievement. Our book seeks to build upon this foundation, built 34 years ago, by focusing on many of the key technical insights and commercial developments since It is my hope that the reader will obtain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the beauty, nuances, and complexities of maleic anhydride through our exploration of production, synthesis and transformation, and diverse application topics that are incorporated into these ten chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the main production processes, analyzes the current understanding of catalyst structure/function in the butane oxidation process, and reviews a variety of contemporary research topics such as catalyst additives that improve yield and purity, catalyst dimensional strength, morphology, porosity, shape, regeneration, reactor designs, and improvements in product quality and safety. v

6 vi Preface Chapter 2 reviews virtually all maleic anhydride chemical reactions, including its acid form, in the context of the influence the parent structure imparts on the molecule s final behavior and properties. Chapter 3 reviews small molecule chemistry and applications such as maleatedvegetable oil derivatives and its oligomeric products. Modern topics such as maleimide-based compounds are also detailed in elegant fashion. Chapter 4 is a detailed review of the maleic anhydride-co-alkyl vinyl ether copolymer family of materials discussing polymerization, architecture, physical properties, and attributes. Chapter 5 reviews other industrially significant polymers, ranging from unsaturated polyester and alkyd resins to styrenic, acrylic, and N-vinyl amide copolymers. Incorporated into this overview are recent advances in controlled free radical polymerization materials. Chapter 6 highlights higher molecular weight maleic anhydride-derived polymers. Polymerization processes, including alternating copolymers by conventional free-radical methods, as well as newer approaches such as ROMP methodologies are discussed. Chapter 7 discusses the colloidal and physicochemical properties for maleic anhydride-based polymers in addition to providing insight into how such material features can relate to application performance. Chapter 8 provides an in depth discussion of key Personal Care applications of maleic anhydride in markets ranging from Hair Care and Skin Care to Transdermal Delivery and Oral Care. Maleic anhydride chemistry is paramount in many commercially available consumer products in this arena and where it has become an essential key ingredient. Chapter 9 reviews the utility of maleic anhydride in industrial adhesive and coating applications in markets ranging from coatings, boats, and electronics through the exploitation of materials including alkyd resins, reactive polymeric surfactant, unsaturated polyester resins, bismaleimides, and epoxy resins. Insights into printing and imaging materials are also incorporated into this discussion. Chapter 10 is a continuation of Chap. 9, where the variety of different application areas of maleic anhydride chemistry is expanded into lubricants, fuels, and biologically active compounds as well as pharmaceutical compositions, microencapsulation, thermoplastics, films, and water treatment materials. This book provides the reader with a broad and in-depth resource on maleic anhydride and its derivatives, enabling a more complete understanding of the science and technology of maleic anhydride.
