A series of methacrylate polymers derived
from 4-chloro-3,5-dimethyl phenyl methacrylate (CDMPMA) with comonomer
tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate (THFMA) were synthesized via free radial
polymerization technique.
The copolymers
were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear
magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and
gel permeation chromatography (GPC). All polymers were thermally stability up
to 200ºC under nitrogen atmosphere.
The reactivity
ratio of monomers in copolymer was obtained by different linearization methods
using 1H NMR data. Antimicrobial activities of the homopolymers and copolymers
were investigated for various microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and yeast.
