<p>Provided are: an impact-resistant polyamide composition which exhibits improved toughness and improved impact strength and which can be easily polymerized in-situ in a molding stage; and a novel process for the production of the same. The novel process comprises initiating the anionic polymerization of µ-caprolactam in the presence of (A) an anionic polymerization catalyst, (B) an anionic polymerization activator, (C) 2.0 to 30% by weight (relative to the µ-caprolactam) of an N,N-disubstituted vinylbenzylamine, and (D) a radical polymerization initiator, and subjecting the resulting system to reaction under conditions comprising a reaction temperature of the reaction system of 120 to 180°C and a reaction time of 10 seconds to 120 minutes. Since radical polymerization in the process is conducted without hindering the anionic polymerization, an alloyed polyamide composed of both polycaprolactam and poly(N,N-disubstituted vinylbenzylamine) can be obtained.</p> |
