  • Abstract
    Four copolyesters were synthesized from 3,3-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (THAP) and 3,3-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (TMAP) by phase transfer catalyzed polycondensation with adipoyl chloride and sebacoyl chloride and a common diol-I 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene. These copolyesters were characterized by solubility data and viscosity values. The microstructure of the repeating unit was confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. These copolyesters displayed potential bactericidal activity against pathogenic bacteria.
