Front Cover : The synthesis castor oil maleate and styrene copolymers (MACO‐St) is studied through suspension polymerization. Also, the effects of temperature, monomers, initiator and water concentration on the molecular weight distribution, thermal stability, viscosity and biodegradability of the copolymers are investigated. The MACO‐St show good thermal stability, high biodegradability and can be produced in a broad range of molecular weights. This is reported by Dayanne L. H. Maia and Fabiano A. N. Fernandes in article 1900017.
