Abstract

Copolymers of various feed ratio of N-tert-butylacrylamide (NTB) and 7-methacryloyloxy-4-methyl coumarin (MAMC) were prepared by free radical solution polymerization in DMF at 70 °C using AIBN as an initiator. Synthesised copolymers were characterized and copolymer compositions were obtained by 1H NMR analysis data. By using Fineman-Ross, Kelen-Tudos and extended Kelen-Tudos methods, monomer reactivity ratios (r1 and r2) were calculated. Mean sequence lengths of the copolymers were estimated from monomer reactivity ratio (r1 and r2) values. Thermal characterizations of the copolymers were carried out using thermogravimetric analysis. The antimicrobial effects of obtained copolymers were also tested on various bacteria, and fungi.
