Reaction Steps

A mixture of styrene and methyl styrene (40 weight %, including 30 weight % styrene and 10 weight % methyl styrene) and molten caprolactam were mixed and stirred at a constant temperature of 100° C., and 0.05 weight % AIBN was added to initiate the free radical polymerization, giving a solution of styrene-methyl styrene co-polymer/caprolactam.
