Nylon-6-b-polyimide-b-nylon-6 copolymers were prepared by first synthesizing a series of imide oligomers end-capped with phenyl 4-aminobenzoate. The oligomers were then used to activate the anionic polymerization of molten β-caprolactam. In the block copolymer syntheses, the phenyl ester groups rea

β¦ Synopsis
Benzyl 6-(2Π-pentamethyldisiloxanyl ethyl)-ortho-tolyl ketone (I) was prepared by a ruthenium-catalyzed Murai reaction of benzyl ortho-tolyl ketone with vinyl pentamethyldisiloxane. The reaction of I with a mixture of styrene and a catalytic amount of picoline Cu(II) acetate yielded the telechelic polystyrene β£,-bis(2-pentamethyl-disiloxanyl ethyl)polystyrene (III). The acid-catalyzed equilibration polymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane into the SiOOOSi bonds of telechelic III yielded the polydimethylsiloxane-polystyrene-polydimethylsiloxane triblock softhard-soft copolymer. The molecular weights of the copolymers were studied by 1 H NMR end-group analysis and gel permeation chromatography. The thermal properties and morphology of IV were examined by differential scanning calorimetry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
