The afterpolymerization of nylon 6 was carried out in three different reaction conditions, nitrogen flow, sealing and evacuation. The viscosity and reduced weight of polymer were increased by increasing the reaction time and temperature, and viscosity of polymers at constant reaction temperature was decreased as the following order: nitrogen flow >sealing >evacuation. The activation energy of afterpolymerization was 10.5 kcal/mole.
