Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Activity Studies of Novel Polymer derived from 2-Hydroxy Acetophenone, Melamine and Trioxane

The present work is devoted for synthesis of new novel polymer derived from 2-Hydroxy acetophenone, Melamine as starting materials along with Trioxane as a bridge forming agent; followed by its characterization employing various physicochemical and spectral techniques like FTIR, UV-Visible and H1 NMR spectroscopy. On the basis of physicochemical and spectral evidences the most probable structure has been elucidated for the new polymer. The number average molecular weight of this polymer has been determined with the help of conductometric titration method in non aqueous media. The applicability of this novel polymer under investigation towards its biological (antibacterial & antifungal) activities has been studied. The polymer has been found to possess good antimicrobial activities for microorganisms like Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.
