Synthesis of copolymer eugenol crosslinked with divinyl benzene and preliminary study on its antibacterial activity

Copolymer eugenol-divinyl benzene (PEDVB) was successfully synthesized via eugenol copolymerization with divinyl benzene using BF3 as a catalyst. The resulting copolymer was characterized using FTIR. Its antibacterial activity was tested using agar disc diffusion method by calculating the inhibitory...

Description
Summary:Copolymer eugenol-divinyl benzene (PEDVB) was successfully synthesized via eugenol copolymerization with divinyl benzene using BF3 as a catalyst. The resulting copolymer was characterized using FTIR. Its antibacterial activity was tested using agar disc diffusion method by calculating the inhibitory zone diameters against Escherichia coli as a gram-negative bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus as a gram-positive bacterium. In addition, ampicillin and DMSO were used as a positive control and a negative control, respectively. The results showed that PEDVB performs antibacterial activity with slow response category.
