Description
Itaconic acid is an unsaturated binary organic acid. Chemical properties are more active, easy polymerization, can also be copolymerized with other monomers, such as acrylonitrile, succinic acid, styrene. Soluble in water, ethanol and acetone, slightly soluble in chloroform, benzene and ether. Has a special smell, can sublimate under vacuum. It can also copolymerize with other monomers. It is not volatile and can be decomposed by overheating. Preparation of synthetic fibers, synthetic resins and plastics, important monomer of ion exchange resin, can also be used as carpet lining agent, paper coating agent, binder, dispersion latex for paint, etc. The ester derivatives of Itaconic acid can be used as copolymers of styrene or plasticizers of polyvinyl chloride.Application：Itaconic acid (IA) can be used as a copolymer in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymerization to promote the thermal oxidation stabilization of the polymer; Combine with acrylamide to form (poly [acrylamide-co- (Itaconic acid)]) to synthesize biodegradable superabsorbent；Synthesis of bio-based polyester composites in textile industry
