Isocyanate-terminated SBR-prepolymers were prepared from SBR-diol and excess toluene diisocyanate. These prepolymers were then used as initiators for the sodium-catalyzed polymerization of ε-caprolactam. The resulting block copolymers, presumably the structure of nylon 6-SBR-nylon 6, were confirmed from their IR spectra. The viscosities of these polymers were measured in phenol/tetrachloroethane and the molecular weights were estimated. The polymerization reaction was not affected by the change in concentration of catalyst, but significantly faster at 185℃ than at 150℃. And the initiator concentration of 0.5 mole % gave good results.
