    Abstract: In a process for the anionic polymerization of lactams having 5 to 14 ring members, the polymerization activator used is a compound of the general formula where n is 1 or 2, R1 and R2 are each monovalen hydrocarbon radicals having one to seven carbon atoms or R1 and R2 joined together form a divalent radical, R3 is hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical having one to eight carbon atoms and R, when n is 1 is an alkyl amine, arylamino or aralkylamino radical having one to fourteen carbon atoms, and, when n is 2 is a divalent radical having the formula -NH-R3-NH- where R4 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having two to fifteen carbon atoms. Specified lactams are pyrrolidone, piperidone, e -caprolactam, capryllactam, oenanthiclactam, capriclactam, laurolactam, e -ethyl-e -caprolactam, #x-ethyl-#x-oenantholactam and methylenebis-caprolactam. Fillers, e.g. glass fibres, asbestos, graphite, gypsum, chalk, molybdenum sulphide, wood flour and fibres may be incorporated into the polymerization mixture. In Examples (1) to (6), e -caprolactam is polymerized in the presence of sodium caprolactam and: (1) benzimidazole-1-carboxylic anilide; (2) imidazole-1-carboxylic acid N : N1-diphenyl amide; (3) benzimidazole-1-carboxylic acid (N1-methyl) anilide; (4) 2-methylimidazoline-N(1)-carboxylic acid N : N1-diphenyl amide; (5) N : N - hexamethylene - bis - (carbamyldimethyl formamidine) and (6) (a) hexamethylene - bis - (N1 - carbamyl - 2 - methylimidazoli (b) hexamethylene-bis-(N-carbamyltriphenyl formamidine). In Example (7) pyrrolidone is polymerized in the presence of sodium methylate and imidazole-1-carboxylic diphenylamide.

    Abstract: Expanded polyamides are produced by heating a mixture of (A) one or more lactams having seven to fourteen ring members, (B) one or more alkaline catalysts, (C) one or more activators and (D) agents which under the prevailing conditions of polymerization volatilize or decompose with the evolution of gas thereby causing the polymerization product to expand, in the absence of substances containing or forming hydroxyl groups to temperatures above the melting point of the lactam and not more than 200 DEG C. and polymerizing the melt with expansion in the presence of 0.05 to 5% by weight of calcined gypsum with reference to the total weight of the polyamide forming materials. Lactams which are suitable are those of omega-aminocarboxylic acids such as caprolactam, oenantholactam, capryllactam, caprilactam and laurolactam. C-substituted lactams, e.g. 4-isopropylcaprolactam and lactams having chain-branching or cross-linking effects, e.g. alkylene-bis lactams may also be used. Suitable alkaline catalysts are metals such as sodium, potassium and calcium or compounds of these metals such as potassamide, sodium alcoholates and sodium hydroxide, organometallic compounds and especially alkali lactamates. Specified activators are acyl-lactams, monoisocyanates, polyisocyanates, acid derivatives such as carboxylic acid halides, esters or anhydrides, but particularly substituted ureas, thioureas, guanidines and urethanes. Examples of these are hexamethylene-1,6-biscarbamidocapryllactam or phenylcarbamidocaprolactam. Suitable expanding agents are aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, octane and cyclohexane, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene and straight-chain and cyclic ethers such as dibutyl ether and dioxane. Liquids having low boiling points, e.g. pentane may be used under pressure. Solid compounds, such as azoisobutyronitrile, benzene sulphonic acid hydrazide and arylsulphazides may also be used. Dyes, fillers and stabilizers may also be incorporated in the mixture.
