In this study, Polyethylene wax, which was produced in manufacturing process of high density polyethylene was grafted with maleic anhydride (MAH). The influences of reaction parameters on the graft polymerization as well as the effect of hydrolysis of the anhydride functions were investigated. The results show that the grafting degree increased and conversion of maleic anhydride decreased with an increase in MAH monomer content. This means the highest grafting efficiency for the reaction can be met when MAH monomer content is about 15 wt%. DCP (dicumyl peroxide) and DTBP (di-tert-butyl peroxide) have been used as the initiator and the highest yield of grafting was obtained when the initiator content is about 0.5 wt%. However, It can be seen that the gel content values of this polyethylene wax grafted MAH were below 2%. It was also observed that the grafting degree increased with an increase in reaction temperature and the maximum value was reached 2 hours later. Although MAH functions grafted onto polyethylene wax were mainly in the carboxylic acid forms, some anhydride form of MAH appeared in over 5% of grafting degree. As a result of hydrolysis reaction, it was observed that the conversion of anhydride group into carboxylic acid group was reached up to 10%.

Naphthalene sulfonated condensatd(NSF) has been widely using for the superplasticizing of ement and concrete. But NSF has a very large mobility loss with elapsed tiom. To retain mobility of NSF during a certain time, maleic anhydride and acrylic acid copolymer(MA) was polymerized and mixed with NSF in order to perpare admixture holding mobility-retention property of cement. By applying this admixture for ement paste, we examined the fluidity and mobility retention property as a function to elapsed time and measured the compressive strength of mortar with curing time. As a result, NSF containing 20wt% of MA showed very excellent fluidity and mobility-retention property. These properties were affected by the added amount of admixture and the ratio of water to cement.

DC breakdown characteristics and formation of space charge at the interfaces of crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) /ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) laminates were studied. Effects of silicone grease and some chemicals such as crosslinking coagent on the interfacial charge were also studied. Interfacial charge develops at the interface of XLPE/EPDM laminates, which changes depending on heat treatment conditions and types of chemicals coated at the interface. Some chemicals such as maleic anhydride reduce the accumulation of interfacial charge in the XLPE/EPDM laminates. Breakdown strength of EPDM/XLPE laminate through the interface was highest when silicone oil was pasted in the interfaces. Interfacial breakdown strength decreased with the increase of MAH content.

Scanning electron microscopy studies were conducted to examine the surface treatment effects of treating agents the proposed in the previous studies on various vulcanizates. Fracture surfaces of the vulcanizates compounded with kaolin treated with sodium polyphosphate of poly(maleic anhydride) presented favorable results as expected from the results of the previous studies. In other words, treating agents such as sodium polyphosphate and poly(maleic anhydride) show considerable reinforcing effects on the vulcanizates.

The intermolecular orbital theory was applied to the Diels-Alder reaction of naphthalene, phenanthrene and 1,2-benzanthracene with maleic anhydride. The expected positions of thermal addition in the alternant bydrocarbons were in agreement with experiment. It was also possible to explain the relative proportions of two isomeric adducts with the calculated stabilization energies. Comparison of the results with paralocalization energies of Brown gave agood linear correlation.

Polyethylene (PE) and maleic anhydride-grafted PE (PE-g-MAH) were pyrolyzed, and their pyrolysis products were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to investigate the influence of MAH grafted onto PE on pyrolysis behaviors. Major pyrolysis products of PE and PE-g-MAH were n-alkanes, 1-alkenes, ${\alpha},{\omega}$-alkadienes, and aromatic compounds. 1-Alkenes were more formed than n-alkanes, ${\alpha},{\omega}$-alkadienes, and aromatic compounds. Butadiene was more produced from PE than PE-g-MAH, whereas toluene and ethyl benzene were more generated from PE-g-MAH than PE. Difference in the pyrolysis behaviors between PE and PE-g-MAH were explained by initial decomposition of MAH moiety.

The effect on the hydrolysis resistance properties by the addition of maleic anhydride grafted EMDM (MA-g-EPDM) and PP (MA-g-PP) to a PA66/GF composite was investigated with respect to the mechanical properties, thermal properties, and morphology. The degree of hydrolysis of the PA66/GF composite was measured using py-GC/MS analysis. When compared to the PA66/GFcomposite in MEG/water solution, the composites where MA-g-EPDM and MA-g-PP were added to PA66/GF showed a higher degree of hydrolysis resistance, impact strength, and thermal properties, whereas their tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus decreased. As immersion time in the solution increases, the rate of tensile strength drop of the MA-g-PP added composite appeared lower than that of the PA66/MA-g-EPDM/GF and PA66/GF composites. The py-GC/MS analysis confirmed the formation of PA66 hydrolysis reaction by products such as carboxylic acid and alkylamine with increasing immersion time.

Low density polyethylene nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalating maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene and montmorillonite clay. It has been found that maleic anhydride has promoted strong interactions between polyethylene and montmorillonite, leading to the homogeneous dispersion of clay layers. Rheological experiments revealed that prepared nanocomposites exhibited shear thinning behaviour. Polyethylene nanocomposites exhibited an increase in steady shear viscosities compared to virgin polyethylene owing to strong polymer clay interactions. The tensile strength of nanocomposites was improved but elongation at break decreased considerably. Also, barrier properties improved significantly with montmorillonite content.

Maleimidopropyltriethoxysilane grafted natural rubber (MISNR) was prepared by reaction of maleic anhydride grafted natural rubber and 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane. MISNR was used as the compatibilizer of natural rubber/silica composites. The composites were prepared by two-step mixing procedures. The final mixtures were cured with optimum cure condition, which was established by a rheometer. Effects of the amounts of compatibilizer in the composites on the cure characteristics, morphology, thermal stability, and physical and mechanical behaviors were investigated. The composites having MISNR had shown cure characteristics and physical and mechanical properties superior to those without MISNR. Silica particles in the former appeared to be more uniform and reduced in size compared with the latter. The effects of the types of silica were also evaluated.
