Low molecular weight polyetherketones [PEKS] were synthesized by Friedel—Crafts reaction from m-methyl anisole, 1,4-phenylene-dioxydiacetyl chloride [1,4-PDC], chloroacetyl chloride [CAC], 1,2-dichloro ethane [DCE] and dichloro methane [DCM]. These polyetherketones were characterized by IR spectroscopy and Gel Permeation Chromatography. The thermal properties were studied by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The characteristics of the decomposition reaction were evaluated by using Broido and Doyle methods. Resins tend to decompose at 200°C. Resins show significant antimicrobial activity against microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and yeast. So they can be used as biocides for various applications.
