  • Publication number: 20190002638
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a semiaromatic polyamide resin, a preparation method thereof, and a polyamide molding composition consisting of the same, which consists of following components: (A) 20 to 95 wt % of a PA10T homopolymer derived from 1,10-decanediamine and terephthalic acid; and (B) 5 to 80 wt % of a PA6T homopolymer derived from 1,6-hexanediamine and terephthalic acid. Particularly, (A)+(B)=100 wt %. In the present invention, by adding a certain amount of the PA10T homopolymer into the PA6T homopolymer, a melting point of the PA6T homopolymer can be significantly decreased to be below a decomposition temperature thereof, and thereby a processability of the PA6T homopolymer is improved. The prepared semiaromatic polyamide resin has a decreased melting point, and may be processed normally. The polyamide molding composition consisting of the semiaromatic polyamide resin has a good processability, and has excellent surface properties.
