Using ϵ‐caprolactam capped urethane molecule as an initiator, nylon 6 was prepared by anionic method using sodium metal as catalyst. Two different aromatic diisocyanates were used to prepare the initiator. The effect of the nature and concentration of the initiator molecules on the physical and thermal properties of polyamide 6 is discussed.
