ABSTRACT Series of polymers based on the grafting of polyacrylamide with both poly(2-methoxyaniline) P2-MeOANI and poly(2-chloroaniline) P2-ClANI were synthesized by the oxidative chemical grafting copolymerization of individually 2-methoxyaniline (2-MeOANI) and 2-chloroaniline (2-ClANI) onto polyacrylamide (PACM). The grafting was performed in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (HCl) using ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant. The optimum conditions of the grafting based on the yield was achieved. The obtained polymer samples at optimum conditions were assembling on colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The obtained polymer samples and their AgNPs were characterized by UV- visible & IR spectroscopy, EM, TEM & TGA to confirm the suggested structure of obtained polymers. The efficiency of the prepared polymeric samples to using as anti-microbial including as sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) was investigated. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
