Abstract:
The monomer 2,4-dichloro phenyl acrylate (2,4-DCPA) was synthesized from 2,4-dichlorophenol and characterized by conventional methods. The homopolymers of 2,4-DCPA and its copolymers with 8-quinolinyl methacrylate (8- QMA) in different feed ratio were prepared by free radical polymerization using dimethyl formamide (DMF) as a solvent and 2,2’-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. The resulting polymers were characterized by Infrared Spectroscopy. UV spectral data were employed to obtain the reactivity ratios of the monomers, 2,4-DCPA and 8-QMA. The results showed that 2,4-DCPA is more reactive than 8- QMA. Average molecular weights and intrinsic viscosities determined by Vapour pressure osmometer (VPO) lies in the range of 7900 to 10890 and 0.021-0.036 dl.g -1 respectively. Thermal analysis shows that thermal stability of copolymers increases with the increase of 2,4-DCPA. The copolymers also showed antimicrobial activity which increased with increase in 8-QMA content.
