Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of a newly prepared vegetable oil based organotin polymer by the condensation reaction between fattyamide diol N N1bis 2 hydroxy ethyl castor oil fatty amide and butyltin chloride dihydroxide has been studied against the bacterial species E coli S typhi Gramnegative S subtillis S aureus Grampositive and three fungal strains Candida albicans ATCC10261 Candida glabrata ATCC90030 Candida tropicalis ATCC750 The antifouling property of this polymer has also been investigated The conventional spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR 1HNMR and 13CNMR have been used to establish the structure of the polymer The physicochemical characteristics like acid value hydroxyl value saponification value iodine value specific gravity and viscosity were determined by standard laboratory methods In addition the thermal stability was analysed by thermogravimetric analysis TGA and differential scanning calorimetry DSC The polymer was found fairly active against the tested microbial species and showed antifouling property
