Anhydride monomers in plastics typically appear as clear or slightly colored liquids. Key features include their ability to improve thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength of plastics. They are suitable for applications in coatings, adhesives, and engineering plastics, particularly valued for producing polymers like styrene maleic anhydride (SMA).
Alternatives to anhydride monomers include other reactive monomers like epoxides and isocyanates. Sub-types include maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride.
