Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to the method for preparation of polymers containing N-acyllactam groups which are suitable as polymeric activators of anionic polymerization of lactams to obtain graft copolymers or block copolymers of the AB or ABA type, where A is the polyamide block. The polymers of the general formula I ##STR1## wherein R 1 is a bifunctional aliphatic C 2 - C 15 hydrocarbon residue, n is an integer and P is a n-functional linear, branched or crosslinked polymeric residue, are prepared by the reaction of polymeric acyl halides of the general formula II ##STR2## where X = Cl or Br, with 1 - 5 mole of trisubstituted N-silyllactam, e.g. N-trimethylsilyllactams or N-phenyldimethylsilyllactams, per one equivalent of acyl halide group in an inert solvent at -15 to +100° C (preferably 0° to +30° C). The polymeric acyl chlorides (the general formula II, X = Cl) are advantageously prepared from polymers containing carboxylic groups and 1 - 5 moles of PCl 5 per one equivalent of carboxylic groups at -15° C to +100° C, preferably at 0° C to +30° C.
