Abstract
Mixtures or adducts of N-heterocyclic carbenes with metal amides or metal alkoxides are effective catalysts for the polymerization of cyclic amides. The catalysts are stable at polymerization temperatures, and the polymerization is rapid, resulting in high monomer conversion, high molecular weight, and a mechanically sound material.
