Abstract
The marriage of maleic anhydride and vegetable oils as a unique class of environmentally benign macromonomers and sustainable polymers has attracted a great deal of interests in the last few decades. The rich chemistry and versatile reactivity of maleic anhydride, combined with the biodegradable and renewable nature of vegetable oils, have rendered infinite possibilities for the maleic anhydride–vegetable oil derivatives. This section provides a survey of the recent literatures on the synthetic routes of the various maleic anhydride derivatives based on the reactive sites in the vegetable oil, as well as the properties and applications of these novel macromonomers and polymers.
