Homopolymers of 2‐isocyanatoethyl methacrylate, ethyl α‐cyanoacrylate, and ethyl α‐is‐ocyanatoacrylate were prepared in tetrahydrofuran at 22 to 25°C using tri‐ n ‐butylborane oxide as a free radical initiator. Additionally, ethyl α‐isocyanatoacrylate was homopolymerized using 2,2′‐azobis(2‐methylbutyronitrile) as the initiator. Homopolymers were characterized by photoacoustic FT‐IR, DSC, and elemental analysis. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
