Patent number: 9090738Abstract: To provide a method for producing a polyoxamide resin by one-step polymerization without performing a pre-polycondensation step in a solvent, which is necessary in the conventional production of a polyoxamide resin. A method of mixing an oxalic acid diester and a diamine in a pressure-resistant vessel and subjecting the mixture to polymerization under pressure in the presence of an alcohol produced by a polycondensation reaction and then to melt polymerization at a temperature not lower than the melting point of the produced polymer preferably while extracting the alcohol, thereby producing a polyoxamide resin by one-step polymerization without using a solvent except for an alcohol that is produced by polycondensation of raw materials in the production process.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Ube Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Okushita, Kouichirou Kurachi, Masato Shimokawa

Publication number: 20130172520Abstract: Provided is a polyoxamide resin which has excellent impact resistance and is characterized in that the polyoxamide resin is obtained from a diamine in which the diamine component has 10 to 18 carbons and in that the polyoxamide resin has a relative viscosity (?r) of 2.1 or greater as determined at 25° C. using 96% sulfuric acid as a solvent and a solution having a concentration of 1.0 g/dL, and also provided is an impact-resistant part comprising this resin. The polyoxamide resin has a higher molecular weight than a conventional polyoxamide resin, a large moldable temperature range as estimated from the difference between the melting point and the thermal decomposition temperature and therefore excellent molten moldability, and furthermore excellent impact resistance when compared to a conventional aliphatic polyoxamide resin without losing the low water absorbency, chemical resistance, hydrolysis resistance, high elasticity, and high strength seen with aliphatic straight-chain polyoxamide resins.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: Ube Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shuichi Maeda, Kouichiro Kurachi, Hiroshi Okushita, Yasunari Hanaoka, Naoyasu Yabu, Tomoyuki Nakagawa
