Abstract: A sustained-release preparation applicable to mucous membrane in oral cavity which comprises an active ingredient and a mixture of a polymer component (A) comprising one or more polymers selected from polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, alginic acid or a salt thereof, and an alternating copolymer of maleic anhydride and methyl vinyl ether and a polymer component (B) comprising one or more polymers selected from polyacrylic acid and a salt thereof, said polymer component (A) and polymer component (B) being contained in a ratio of 95:5 to 5:95 by weight, and optionally in admixture with conventional carrier and additives.

Abstract: A process for producing novel aromatic polyamides having excellent heat resistance, toughness and chemical resistance and further having improved solubility, molding properties and light resistance, which comprises polycondensing a mixed diamine consisting of piperazine and p-phenylenediamine with a substantially equimolar amount of terephthaloyl dihalide in at least one amide type polar solvent (e.g. hexamethylphosphoramide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, alone or a mixture thereof), wherein said piperazine is contained in a ratio of 10 to 35 % by mol on the basis of the whole mixed diamine component, and fibers produced from the aromatic polyamides having high tenacity, flexing characteristics and wear resistance and further having improved elongation ratio, knot tensile strength, fatigue resistance and fibrillation resistance.
