✦ Synopsis
Copolyamides ofhigh mol.wt were obtained by the anionic copolymerisation of E-caprohtctam with ,)-laurolactam at 180 C. using a sodium caprolactamate-N-phenylcarbamoylcaprolactam initiator activator system. The proportions of co-units in the copol',mers were close to those in the comonomer feeds. The copolymers were crystalline and substantially ful b hydrogen-bonded over the ,,','hole range of compositions: except at 50:50 mole",, ratio, each displa,,ed only one crystalline phase corresponding to that of the major component. 7",, and density measurements indicated a crystallinity minimum at 50 60 mole",,NH(CH 21scO unit content. The properties of the copolyamides were consistent with random copolymeric structures.

The crystalline of PCL/PLL random copolymers, prepared by anionic polymerisation in the melt and freed of residual monomer(s), vary with composition and are at a minimum for approx. 65.,"35 mole°,o composition. The Tg's of the copolymers show a minimum with composition; this effect is discussed in r
The N-sodiocaprolactam-catalysed anionic polymerisation of e-caprolactam is activated by e-caprolactone which itself acts as a comonomer, yielding copolyesteramides. At lower temperatures and lower catalyst concentrations, copolymerisation of the lactone is favoured over that of lactam; higher tempe
