Poly(maleic anhydride)

Poly(maleic anhydride) (PMA) is a reactive polymer with anhydride groups that readily hydrolyze to form carboxyl functional groups. It is highly versatile and used as an adhesion promoter, polymer modifier, and crosslinking agent.

Applications:

Surface Treatment: Improves adhesion on various substrates.
Reactive Polymer Blends: Enhances compatibility in polymer formulations.
Biomedical Applications: Used in drug delivery and hydrogel synthesis.
