Abstract

Phthalimide, a single imide ring containing compound, and their polymers have many excellent properties such as transparency, hydrophobicity, high flexibility, chemical resistivity, high thermal stability, and biological activity. Acrylates show some specific properties; strong bond making capacity, moisture-resistivity, and good chemical binding properties and because of these properties, acrylate’s played a significant role in framing of flexible high-performance polymers and the copolymerization between phthalimides and acrylates, products are demonstrated excellent properties such as to provide active drug binding site for biological system, used as optical brightening agent. In the present research article, the synthesis of homopolymer, copolymer, and terpolymer were synthesized by polymerization technique using N-substituted phthalimide and acrylate. The synthesis was focused to overcome the disadvantages of phthalimide and acrylate’s individuals to form better addition-cum-esterification products with good implications. In this sequence, 4-(N-phthalimido) phenyl-2′-methylbutyacrylate (NPMBA) monomer was synthesized and characterized. The tailored new monomer has been polymerized to form homopolymer, copolymers, and terpolymer with different comonomer units in the presence of AIBN initiator and THF as solvent at 60–70 °C. The polymer’s analytical characterization has been done to confirm structures and composition using FT-IR, 1HNMR, and elemental analysis. The weight average molecular weight (Mw), number average molecular weight (Mn), and polydispersity (Mw/Mn ratio) of polymers were determined using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) technique and thermal behavior was also studied by Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and DSC techniques. All samples were screened out for biological activities against some bacterial and fungal colonies.
