2-(N-phthalimido)ethyl methacrylate was prepared by the reaction of methacrylic acid with N(2-hydroxyethyl)phthalimide in presence of N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The monomer reactivity ratios for copolymerization reactions of 2-(N-phthalimido)ethyl methacrylate with methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate and styrene, respectively, in solution with azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator, were estimated by nitrogen analysis. The structure of the copolymers was investigated by IR spectroscopy. The Q and e values for 2-(N-phthalimido)ethyl methacrylate were calculated. Some of the synthesized polymers were tested for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi.
