Abstract
A maleic anhydride copolymer comprising maleic anhydride units (I), conjugated diene units (II) and aliphatic monoolefin units (III) is provided. This copolymer has a weight-average molecular weight of from 500 to 50000. The molar ratio of unit (I)/(unit (II)+unit (III)) ranges from 30/70 to 90/10 and the molar ratio of unit (II)/unit (III) ranges from 5/95 to 90/10. A hydrolyzed product of the copolymer or a water-soluble maleic acid copolymer is also provided. The hydrolyzed product is advantageously used for scale inhibitors, dispersants for calcium carbonate or admixtures for cement and conctrete.
