✦ Synopsis
The condensation step of the hydrolytic caprolactam polymerization, in the molten state and batch processes, has been studied. Runs effected in the presence or in the absence of stirring have been compared. The relation between the viscosity of the polymer and the condensation time has a sinusoidal shape in the absence of stirring. The oscillations tend to flatten if the polymerization is carried out in the presence of a chain regulator. This behaviour seems to be due only to condensation reactions and not transamidation.

## Abstract The concentrations of the cyclic oligomers (__C__~__i__~; __i__ = 3, 4, 5, and 6) in the polymeric products of ε‐caprolactam were determined by high‐performance liquid chromatography. The equilibrium data on the oligomers were obtained as a function of the polymerization temperature and
A study of the effect of catalyst (base) concentration and N-acylcaprolactam cocatalyst size and substitution on the fast anionic polymerization of caprolactam indicated that a steric effect due to cocatslyst size exists, and perhaps an electronic effect due to cocatalyst substitution was noted. The
