Application

  • Esterification mechanism of bagasse modified with glutaric anhydride in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride: This study explores the homogenous esterification of bagasse with glutaric anhydride, providing insight into the effects of glutaric anhydride dosage on the process (H Wang et al., 2017).
  • Epoxy-anhydride vitrimers from aminoglycidyl resins with high glass transition temperature and efficient stress relaxation: Discusses the use of glutaric anhydride as a hardener in high-performance epoxy-based composites, comparing its effectiveness with other hardeners (M Giebler et al., 2020).
  • Effects of glutaric anhydride functionalization on filler-free benzoxazine/epoxy copolymers with shape memory and self-healing properties under near-infrared light: Examines how glutaric anhydride enhances the properties of copolymers, particularly in terms of shape memory and self-healing capabilities (L Amornkitbamrung et al., 2022).
  • Surface analysis and thermal behavior of the functionalized cellulose by glutaric anhydride through a solvent-free and catalyst-free process: Investigates the modification of cellulose using glutaric anhydride and analyzes its impact on thermal behavior and surface properties (H Fahim et al., 2023).
  • Cyclic anhydrides as powerful tools for bioconjugation and smart delivery: This article reviews the use of glutaric anhydride in bioconjugation, highlighting its potential in creating smart delivery systems for biologically active compounds (MV Spanedda et al., 2021).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf
