Rheokinetics of ε-caprolactam anionic-ring polymerization applied to the rapid production of thermoplastic composites
ε-Caprolactam anionic polymerization with two catalyst-activator systems was evaluated. Temperature and activator type/concentration impact polymer properties. PA6 optimization improves thermoplastic hybrid composite reactive processing economically.
