Styrene Maleic Anhydride (SMA) is a copolymer. It forms stable monolayers, and good, heat-stable Langmuir-Blodgett film films. SMA can be employed in various fields such as electronics, coatings, and material separation. It is also used as a compatibilizer in amorphous thermoplastics and copolymers.

SMA copolymers are utilized as dispersants for organic and inorganic pigments and fillers. They are also used in manufacturing clay-insensitive concrete superplasticizers. These superplasticizers reduce the sensitivity to clay impurities significantly. SMA copolymer is a versatile tool in membrane research. It can be used to isolate and investigate membrane proteins.
