Abstract: According to a first form, the present invention relates to a compatibilizer composed of a polyolefin backbone and of polyamide grafts in which: the grafts are attached to the backbone via the residues of an unsaturated monomer (A) having a functional group which acts as activator in the polymerization of lactains and which is not an isocyanate functional group, the residues of the unsaturated monomer (A) are fixed to the backbone by grafting from its double bond. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of these compatibilizers in which, after the preparation of the backbone comprising the monomer having an activating functional group, the precursor lactam of the grafts and a catalyst are added and heating is carried out in order to obtain anionic polymerization of the lactam which spreads starting from the activating functional group. Subsequently, the compatibilizer and the polyamide which has formed apart from the grafts are optionally separated.

Abstract: For the anionic polymerization of lactams: (a) (i) a catalyst capable of creating a lactamate and (ii) a regulator chosen from amides of formula R1-NH—CO-R2, in which R1 can be substituted by an R3-CO—NH— or R3-0— radical and in which R1, R2 and R3 denote an aryl, alkyl or cycloalkyl radical, are dissolved in the molten lactam, (a1) the solution from stage (a) is cooled, optionally to the solid state in a form which can be divided, (a2) the product from stage (a1) is optionally reheated to a temperature below the polymerization temperature of the lactam, (a3) optionally, the product from stage (a1) is reheated and is maintained at a temperature between the melting temperature of the lactam and 15° C. above, and (b) the produce from any one of stages (a1), (a2) or (a3) is introduced into a mixing device or mold and is then heated to a temperature sufficient to obtain the bulk polymerization of the lactam.
