Application
Itaconic acid (IA) can be used:
- As a comonomer in the polymerization of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) to promote the thermo-oxidative stabilization of polymer.
- In combination with acrylamide to form (poly[acrylamide-co-(itaconicacid)]) to synthesize biodegradable superabsorbent polymers.
- To synthesize biobased polyester composite in fabric industry.
