Patent number: 3991015Abstract: High molecular weight aromatic copolyamides which contain a small proportion of structural units having 2,3-(1H,3H)-quinazoline dione rings are disclosed. The presence of quinazolinedione ring units in the copolyamide results in an increased moisture absorption capacity. By using small amounts of quinazoline dione units, the good physical properties of the corresponding quinazoline dione-free polyamide are substantially retained while the moisture absorption is significantly increased. Larger amounts of quinazoline dione units than contemplated (15 mol percent and more) do not improve the moisture absorption further and adversely affect the physical properties. The copolyamides are useful in textile applications in which the improved moisture absorption serves to make clothing prepared from such textiles more comfortable.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1974Date of Patent: November 9, 1976Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gerhard Dieter Wolf, Hans Egon Kunzel, Gunther Blankenstein, Peter Kleinschmidt, Francis Bentz

Patent number: 3935174Abstract: 2-METHYLENE PROPANE PHOSPHONIC ACID ESTERS AND THEIR COPOLYMERS WITH ACRYLONITRILE ARE THE OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION. The fibers produced from the copolymers are flame-resistant and show increased thermal stability, improved affinity for dyes and fastness to light. The copolymers of acrylonitrile and 2-methylene propane phosphonic acid esters - in addition to other comonomers - are produced by polymerizing the monomers in solution or - preferably - in an aqueous suspension or emulsion. Formed articles, such as fibres from said copolymers can be prepared by spinning a solution of the copolymer in an organic solvent p.i. in dimethyl formamide.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1974Date of Patent: January 27, 1976Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eugen Velker, Francis Bentz, Gunther Nischk
