✦ Synopsis
ABA block copolymers, where A and B represent polyamide and polystyrene segments respectively, were prepared by the anionic polymerization of caprolactam activated with polystyrene-bisacyllactams. Under mild polymerization conditions (in a solvent at 120°), very pure copolymers were obtained containing only traces of polystyrene homopolymer and < 2.5% of polycaprolactam. The length of the blocks A can be controlled by the polymerization time and by the amount and type of the solvent.
