Abstract

AcAP was prepared by reacting p-hydroxyacetophenone (HAP) with acryloyl chloride (Ac) in presence of triethylamine (TEA) in MEK at $0^{\circ}C$. The reaction was monitored by TLC and the prepared monomer was characterized by UV, IR, $^{1}H-NMR\;and\;GC-MS$. The homo- [poly (AcAP)] and copolymers [poly (AcAP-co-MMA)] were prepared by solution polymerization at $70^{\circ}C$, in which BPO as initiator. The molecular weight of the polymers was determined by GPC. In order to find out the AF activity of prepared polymers, representatives of marine microfoulers, shipfouling bacteria (B. macroides & P. aeruginosa) and microalgae (A. coffeaeformis & N. incerta) were screened. The results of antibacterial activity and diatom attachment assays revealed potential AF efficiency of these polymers.
