COPOLYMERS OF 2,4-DICHLOROPHENYL METHACRYLATE WITH BUTYL METHACRYLATE AND THEIR APPLICATION AS BIOCIDES

Copolymers of 2,4-dichlorophenyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate were synthesized with different monomer concentrations using toluene as a solvent and 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator at 70°C. The copolymers were characterized by IR-spectroscopy. Copolymer compositions were det...

Description
Summary:Copolymers of 2,4-dichlorophenyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate were synthesized with different monomer concentrations using toluene as a solvent and 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator at 70°C. The copolymers were characterized by IR-spectroscopy. Copolymer compositions were determined by UV-spectroscopy. The reactivity ratios for monomer pairs were determined by Fineman-Ross method. Gel permeation chromatography was employed for determining the average molecular weights and the polydispersity index. The intrinsic viscosities of polymers were also discussed. Thermogravimetric analyses of polymers were carried out in nitrogen atmosphere. The homo- and copolymers were tested for their effect on the growth of various microorganisms.
