Abstract
ABSTRACTNew biocidal polymers based on branched as well as linear poly(p-hydroxystyrene) were synthesized. Biocidal polymers were synthesized in two steps by creation of active centers via chloroacetylation of linear and branched poly(p-hydroxystyrene) using chloroacetyl chloride. The second step involves the immobilization of onium salts onto the chloroacetylated polymers. All the prepared polymers were characterized using elemental microanalysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR spectra, and TGA. Antimicrobial activity of the prepared polymers was tested against various pathogenic microorganisms. The antimicrobial activity was found to be affected by the active group and the tested microorganism. The phosphonium salts showed higher activity than ammonium salts.
