Dr. Maher A. Jalal, Dr. Einas A. Abood, Dr. Zainab J. Sweaha, Alyaa Abdulhasan Abdulkarem and Haider Abdulelah, faculty members at the Polymer Research Center at the University of Basra, published a scientific paper titled "Highly Branched Poly(Adipic Anhydride-Co-Mannitol Adipate): Synthesis, Characterization, and Thermal Properties". The paper was published in the March 2025 issue of Polymers, published by the international publishing house MDPI, indexed in Scopus and Web of Science (Q1). The paper addresses improving the thermal properties of an adipic polymer by changing its structural composition and making it highly branched through a fusion reaction between adipic polyanhydride and D-Mannitol. This research is part of the center's efforts to develop innovative polymer materials
