Popis: Polycaproamide composites are synthesized by the anionic activated bulk polymerization of ɛ-caprolactam in the presence of 0.1–5.0 wt % of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and using low-molecularmass monofunctional (N-acetyl-ɛ-caprolactam) and macromolecular polyfunctional (aromatic polyimides) activating agents. The effect of nanotubes on the polymerization of ɛ-caprolactam is studied, and this effect is shown to become more pronounced as the concentration of nanotubes is increased. The effect of nanotubes on the microstructure, phase composition, water sorption, thermophysical, mechanical, and friction characteristics of poly(caproamide) is analyzed.
