Preparation of poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) (PPE) and polyamide-6 blends via activated anionic polymerization of PPE and #epsilon#-caprolactam solutions

摘要

Activated anionic polymerization of homogeneous poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) (PPE)/#epsilon#-caprolactam solutions at temperatures below the melting point of polyamide -6(PA-6) using the catalyst, lactam magnesium bromide, and the co-catalyst, #epsilon#-caprolactam blocked hexamethylene diisocyanate, provides a route for in situ preparation of PPE/PA-6 blends.
