Description

Itaconic anhydride is a monomer that can be used in the synthesis of polymers. It has a hydroxyl group and is soluble in organic solvents. Itaconic anhydride can be used to synthesize films and gels, which are often used as adhesives or coatings. Films prepared from itaconic anhydride have been shown to be radiation-resistant and can be formed into a variety of shapes. The chemical properties of itaconic anhydride make it useful as a reactive film-forming polymer for use in radiation-cured coatings and adhesives.
