Key Points

This research aims to explore the amidation process of poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) using DMF.
Used dimethylformamide as a solvent for copolymer functionalization.
Investigated the decomposition of DMF under laboratory conditions.
Analyzed the chemical modifications to the copolymer resulting from DMF decomposition.
DMF decomposes and chemically alters the structure of poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride).
The in situ generation of dimethylamine contributes to the amidation of the copolymer.
Functionalization via DMF enhances the properties of the copolymer.

Implication

In situ DMF decomposition modifies poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride), suggesting effective functionalization.

Abstract

Dimethylformamide (DMF), a commonly employed solvent during poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (SMAnh) functionalization, was noted to decompose and chemically modify the copolymer under laboratory relevant conditions. The in situ generation of dimethylamine...
