Abstract

Nylon moldings which may or may not be cellular and have improved performance characteristics are obtained by activated alkaline polymerization of caprolactam in the presence of an amorphous or partially crystalline polycondensate which has a solubility of not less than 5% by weight in caprolactam at 120.degree.
