Abstract
Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)-poly(6-hexanelactam) diblock copolymers were prepared from low-molecular weight poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) by transforming its phenolic end groups via the reaction with 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate and 6-hexanelactam to polymeric initiators and the subsequent anionic polymerization of 6-hexanelactam. The polymerization of 6-hexanelactam was carried out in bulk or toluene solution. The content of the 6-hexanelactam homopolymer was estimated by TLC showing that the pure diblock copolymer can be prepared in toluene. The reason for relatively low yields is discussed.
