    Abstract: A process for the polymerization of lactams having from 4 to 12 ring carbon atoms in the presence of an alkaline reaction initiator and a polymerization activator comprises using as the polymerization activator a substituted urethane which is capable of being dissolved undecomposed in the lactam at the polymerization temperature, having the general formula where R1, R2 and R3 represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may be substituted by fluorine or ether groups, or in which R1 and R2 together represent a divalent acryl radical of the general formula -CH2-(CH2)n-CO where n is an integer from 3 to 11, X is oxygen, sulphur or > N-R4 wherein R4 is hydrogen or a monovalent hydrocarbon radical as defined above, or in which R1 has the meanings defined above and R2 and/or R3 represent the radicals where Y is a divalent and X 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 are as defined above. Specified lactams are pyrrolidone, piperidone, caprolactam, oenanthic lactam, caprylic lactam and lauric lactam. Many activators are specified. In the examples:- (1) caprylic lactam is polymerized in the presence of 1,6-hexamethylene-N,N1-bis-ethylurethane and a caprylic lactam-potassium hydroxide reaction product; (2) caprolactam is polymerized in the presence of potassium and 1-methyl-phenylene-2,4-bis-N,N1-benzylurethane and (3) caprylic lactam is polymerized in the presence of potassium and p,p1-phenylene-bis-N,N1-phenylurethane.
