In order to make an advanced dry-friction engineering material, wax-impregnated nylons were synthesized by anionic polymerization of $\varepsilon$-caprolactam in the presence of apraffin wax. DNX-125S, which has lowest melting point among four different kinds of waxs investigated, showed excellent miscibiility with $\varepsilon$-carprolactam and no effect on the polymerization reaction. Five different kinds of wax-impregnated nylons from of DNW-125S content 0% to 8% were synthesized and tested. Among the samples, wax-free nylon has the highest yield and tensile strength and hardness, while the specimen with2% wax has the largest elongationi and energy absorption to break. The wax-impregnated nylon with a wax content 6% showdd the smallest friction coefficient under slow sliding speed and low load. Bus as the sliding speeds were increased to high, thespcieimen with 8% wax has better friction property.
