Hydroxy-difunctional polyarylate(PAR) 올리고머와 toluene diisocyanate를 반응시켜 합성한 고분자 활성체를 사용하여 ε-caprolactam을 음이온 중합하여 다양한 블록길이의 PAR-nylon 6 블록공중합체들을 합성 하였다. 합성한 블록공중합체들의 열적 성질을 differential scanning calorimeter(d.s.c.)로 측정한 결과, 블록공중합체를 구성하는 PAR 블록과 nylon 6 블록은 부분적 상용성을 가졌으며, 그 정도는 블록의 길이가 짧을수록 컸다. PAR-nylon 6 블록공중합체와 PAR 흑은 nylon 6 homopolymer와의 이원블렌드에서 PAR homopolymer와 PAR 블록, nylon 6 homopolymer와 nylon 6 블록 사이의 분자수준의 섞임을 시사하는 거동을 d.s.c.로 관찰할 수 있었다.

Polyarylate(PAR)-nylon 6 block copolymers of various block lengths were prepared by the anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam using the polymeric activator from hydroxy-difuncrtional PAR and toluene diisocyanate. Phase separated morphology of PAR-nylon 6 block copolymer was suggerted from the thermal properties measured by differential scanning calorometry(d.s.c.). Partial miscbility between PAR block and nylon 6 block of the block copolymers was more evident at shorter length of constituent blocks. In binary blends of PAR-nylon 6 block copolymer with PAR or nylon 6 homopolymer, molecular-level mixing of homopolymers with corresponding blocks of block copolymer was supposed from the thermal properties measured by d.s.c..
