A thermoplastic molding material based on

Thermoplastic molding material based on polyoxymethylene and polyamide

Bifunctional initiators for anionic polymerization are prepared by reacting an alkenylaromatic compound of the general formula I ##STR1## where Ar is aromatic hydrocarbyl which may be substituted by alkyl or another group inert toward organoalkali metal compounds and may contain nitrogen,

Bifunctional alkali metal compounds, preparation and use thereof as

Oligomeric polyfunctional initiators for anionic polymerization of dienes and/or alkenylaromatics are prepared by a process in which a mixture of dialkenylaromatics and alkenylaromatics in a molar ratio of from 1:4 to 1:100, in an inert solvent, is run, at from 25.degree. to 100.degree. C., continuously or in small portions, with thorough mixing, into an initially taken mixture which contains from 1.2 to 3.0 molar equivalents, based on the dialkenylaromatics, of one or more organolithium compounds and an inert solvent, and is polymerized completely. The resulting oligomeric initiators are used for the preparation of unfunctionalized or functionalized polymers or block copolymers from dienes and/or alkenylaromatics, and the functionalized polymers thus prepared are used as prepolymers for other resins.
