    Abstract: A process for the polymerization of lactams having from 4 to 12 ring carbon atoms in the presence of an alkaline polymerization initiator and a polymerization activator comprises using as the activator a substituted urea, thiourea or guanidine, which is capable of being dissolved undecomposed in the lactams at the polymerization temperature, having the general formula where R1, R2 and R3 are hydrogen atoms or monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or R1 and R2 together represent a divalent aryl radical of the general formula -CH-(CH2)n-CO- where n is an integer from 3 to 11, and in which said radicals R1, R2 and R3 may be substituted by fluorine or ether groups, X is oxygen, sulphur or the radical > N-R5 where R5 is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R4 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical with from 1 to 20 carbon atoms or one of the radicals and wherein Y represents a divalent and Z a trivalent hydrocarbon radical with from 1 to 20 carbon atoms which may be substituted by fluorine or ether groups and X, R1, R2 and R3 have the same meanings as given above.

    Abstract: Impact-resistant polystyrene having improved surface properties is made by first polymerizing styrene in which is dissolved a substantially uncrosslinked rubber, and then mechanically mixing the product with a crosslinked or crosslinkable rubber. Up to 35% of the styrene in the first stage of the process may be replaced by a comonomer, e.g. acrylonitrile, alkylstyrenes and halostyrenes. The examples describe polymerizing styrene with: (1) a butadiene-styrene copolymer, and mixing the product with a butadiene-styrene copolymer, (2) a butadiene-styrene copolymer, and mixing the product with a butadiene-butyl fumarate copolymer, (3) cis-1,4-polybutadiene, and mixing the product with a butadiene-butyl fumarate copolymer, (4-5) acrylonitrile, a butylacrylate-acrylonitrile copolymer and cis-1,4-polybutadiene, and mixing the product with a butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer.
