Polyketones were prepared by the Friedel-Craft reaction from 1,3-dimethoxy benzene, chloroacetic acid and dichloroalkanes, i.e., dichloromethane and 1,2-dicholoroethane. The polyketones were characterized by IR spectra and vapour pressure osmometry. The thermal properties were studied by the thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition reaction were evaluated by the methods of Broido and Doyle. The synthesized polylaketones shows antimicrobial properties against bacteria, fungi and yeast.
