Abstract: What is described is a high molecular weight homogeneous, branched copolymer of maleic anhydride and a C1-C5 alkyl vinyl ether monomer, in which a branching agent is present in an amount of less than 0.5 wt. % of the polymer. A solution process of making such polymer also is described.

Abstract: A pH-dependent, controlled-release, drug delivery composition is described herein which includes:(a) a complex between poly(maleic diacid-alkyl vinyl ether) and polyvinylpyrrolidone, or their equivalents, and(b) an effective amount of a pharmaceutical medicament.

Abstract: What is described herein are derivatized polymers of .alpha.-olefin-maleic anhydride alkyl half-ester or full acid, preferably the isobutylene compound, optionally with repeat units of maleamic acid and/or its corresponding maleimide therein. These polymers are useful as fixatives in personal care products, such as hair spray compositions, particularly as one-phase, low VOC formulations in pump and aerosol systems, and in anhydrous, alcoholic, aqueous-alcoholic and in high hydrocarbon tolerant solvent formulations. In use, these hair spray compositions dry down to form clear, continuous and defectless films.

Abstract: A process for making derivatized polymers of maleic anhydride containing maleamic acid and its corresponding cyclic imide repeat units, in alcohol solution, at a temperature of about 60-160.degree. C., during a reaction period of about 1-25 hours. The product is a polymer having a predetermined ratio of the above repeat units. The polymers are included in personal care poducts.

Abstract: This invention describes hydroxyamino-derivatized polymers of .alpha.-olefin-maleic anhydride in the form of their maleimide, maleamic acid and .alpha.-olefin-maleic anhydride half-acid/half ester or full acid repeat units process for making same. The polymers are made by reacting an .alpha.-olefin-maleic anhydride, half-acid/half-ester or full acid with a hydroxy containing .alpha.-unsubstituted primary amine in aqueous or aqueous alcoholic solution at a temperature of about 60.degree.-160.degree. C. during a reaction period of about 1-25 hours.
