  • Publication number: 20060194941
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing a melt-processable polylactam by contacting caprolactam monomer with an anionic polymerization catalyst chosen from the group consisting of magnesium-lactamates and magnesium-lactamate forming compounds and acyllactam, polymerizing said monomer and contacting the resulting polylactam with a protic compound. The resulting polylactam has a good meltstability and a low degree of branching.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20060173156
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing a melt-processable polylactam by contacting caprolactam monomer with an anionic polymerization catalyst, polymerizing said monomer and contacting the resulting polylactam with a protic compound. The anionic polymerization catalyst is chosen from the group consisting of alkali-earth-metal-lactamates and alkali-earth-metal-lactamate forming compounds and the protic compound has a pKa larger than 14. The resulting polylactam has a good melt-stability and very low cyclic dimer content.
