16. Recrystallization of the maleic anhydride monomer and rigorous drying of the polymerization solvents methyl ethyl ketone and heptane resulted in microspheres containing less than 5% succinic acid, as estimated by FT-IR. These microspheres did not form stable tecto-capsules, indicating that a significant fraction of succinic acid units is required for the assembly of the microspheres at the oil-water interface.
