Abstract

New copolymers were prepared by radical polymerization starting from N-1-adamantylmaleimide (AMI) and styrene (ST). The copolymerization of AMI with ST proceeded easily to give medium molecular weight of copolymers $$\left( {\overline M _n > {\text{10}}^{\text{4}} } \right)$$ in high yield. The poly(AMI-co-ST)s had high Tg (205–236 °C) and good thermal stability. Moreover, the poly(AMI-co-ST)s exhibited activity against the staphlococcus aureus ATCC 25923. The monomer reactivity ratios(r1,r2) in the copolymerizations of AMI with ST, and Alfrey-Price Q, e values for AMI were determined.
