Abstract

Nylon-6-polyisobutylene-nylon-6 triblock copolymers have been synthesized by converting telechelic polyisobutylene diols to α, ω-diisocyanate polyisobutylenes and using these macroactivators, in conjunction with strong base, to induce the subsequent anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam. Pure block copolymer was obtained by suitable sequential extraction. Products were characterized by composition, molecular weight and DSC.
