3‐(1‐Cyclohexyl)azetidiniyl methacrylate (CyAMA), a new methacrylate monomer, was synthesized by reaction of the sodium salt of 1‐cyclohexylazetidin‐3‐ol with methacryloyl chloride. The monomer was polymerized at 60 °C in 1,4‐dioxane solution using 2,2′‐ azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. CyAMA and poly(CyAMA) were characterized by FTIR and 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The activation energy of the initiation step of the polymerization was estimated from initial rates, and the number average molecular weight of the homopolymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The antibacterial and antifungal effects of the monomer and homopolymer were investigated on various bacteria and fungi. The thermal stability of poly(CyAMA) was investigated by TGA, and its glass transition temperature was determined by DSC as 93 °C. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry
