Ester amide block copolymer and process for producing same

摘要

An ester-amide block copolymer of the formula (1): <CHEM> wherein R is an aromatic hydrocarbon group with 6-20 carbon atoms and G is a residue of an aliphatic polyester, an aliphatic polycarbonate, an aliphatic polyethercarbonate or a polyorganosiloxane, and having a weight average molecular weight of 30,000 - 1,000,000. This copolymer is advantageously prepared by polycondensing an activated acyl lactam-terminated aromatic amide with a diol by a bulk polymerization procedure in a molten state.
