Abstract : By reacting phthalic anhydride with excess of diethylene glycol and metal acetate, the metal salts of mono(hydroxyethoxyethyl)phthalate were prepared (metal = Cu2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+). Polyurethanes containing metal ions in the main chain were synthesized by reacting hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) or tolulylene 2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) with Cu2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ salts of mono(hydroxyethoxyethyl)phthalate using di-n-butyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) as catalyst. The prepared monomers and polyurethanes were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, UV spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), elemental analysis, solubility and viscosity studies. The antibacterial activity of these polyurethanes have also been investigated using agar diffusion method.
