Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Properties of p-Chloroacetophenone Oxime-Based Furan Resins

Abstract

A copolymer resin, p-chloroacetophenone oxime-furfuraldehyde (CAOFU), and a terpolymer resin, p-chloroacetophenone oxime-formaldehyde-benzoic acid (CAOFUBA), were synthesized in the presence of hydrochloric acid as catalyst. The structures of copolymer and terpolymer were established by FT-IR and 1 H NMR techniques. Molecular weight and polydispersity index were determined by gel permeation chromatography. The thermal stability was evaluated by thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). Softening temperatures (T s ) of these polymers were obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All the synthesized polymers have shown reasonably good antimicrobial activities.

Copolymerization of cyclohexene-3-yl methyl methacrylate with styrene: synthesis, characterization, monomer reactivity ratios, and thermal properties

“…The obtained residue was dissolved in diethylether, washed with a 5% NaOH solution twice and then washed by distilled water. Organic layers were collected and then dried over anhydrous MgSO 4 …”

“…Functional groups give special characteristics to the polymers and can provide an approach to the subsequent modification of the polymers for specific applications. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Recently Degirmenci et al, synthesized mid-and end-chain cyclohexene functionalized polystyrene and poly(ε-caprolactone) and by epoxidation of the cyclohexene group. They obtained macromonomers with cyclohexene oxide functionality with potential for applications in photoinitiated cationic polymerization.…”

Controllable synthesis of the Al4B2O9 nanowhisker and their applications in reinforced polyhydroxyalkanoate composites

“…Recently, the development of polymeric nanocomposites with high mechanical property and thermal stability has become a hot issue in related elds. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) has prospective potential for biological engineering and protective packaging to replace conventional plastics due to its advanced properties such as complete biodegradability, good biocompatibility, environmental protection, and plastic thermal process ability. [19][20][21][22] Nevertheless, it is not fully competitive compared to conventional plastics because there are some drawbacks to limiting its further application.…”

Preparation and characterization of bio-based terpolymer derived from vanillin oxime, formaldehyde, and p-hydroxyacetophenone

“…Comparative studies of the VOFHA and previously reported CAOFU and CAOFUBA with respect to standard drugs. [22] Ciprofloxacin and amphotericin-B were used as standards for antibacterial and antifungal activity, respectively. The tested terpolymer VOFHA was dissolved in DMSO with concentration of 250 μg/mL.…”
