Synthesis, Characterization and Study of Antibacterial Activity of Methacrylic Copolymer

摘要

4-Benzyloxyphenylmethacrylic copolymers with Glycidyl methacrylate were synthesized from the monomer, 4-Benzyloxyphenylmethacrylate (4-BOPMA) by free radical solution polymerization. The synthesized monomer and co-polymer were characterized by UV, FT-IR, H1-NMR and C13-NMR spectroscopic techniques. The thermal stability of the polymers was determined by TGA in inert atmosphere. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers were determined by DSC analysis. The antibacterial activities of the polymers were also studied by UV spectroscopy at various concentration. The results of the TGA analysis showed that the polymers had good stability upto 250°C. Compared to homopolymer, the copolymer shows a broad spectrum of antibacterial properties.View full textDownload full textKeywords4-benzyloxyphenylmethacrylate, 13C-NMR, 1H-NMR, glycidylmethacrylate, TGARelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03602559.2012.698687
