Abstract: The present invention provides a polyamide and a polyamide film which are more sufficiently superior in all of heat-resisting properties, flexibility properties and rubber elastic properties. The present invention relates to a polyamide comprising a unit comprised of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid (A) having 18 or more carbon atoms, a unit comprised of an aliphatic diamine (B) having 18 or more carbon atoms, a unit comprised of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid (C) having 12 or less carbon atoms and a unit comprised of an aliphatic diamine (D) having 12 or less carbon atoms, wherein the polyamide has a melting point of 240° C. or more, a crystalline melting enthalpy of 20 J/g or more and an elongation recovery rate of 50% or more in a hysteresis test, and a polyamide film comprising the polyamide.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semi-aromatic polyamide film including 98 to 90% by mass of a semi-aromatic polyamide (A) and 2 to 10% by mass of a thermoplastic elastomer (B). The semi-aromatic polyamide (A) includes a dicarboxylic acid mainly composed of terephthalic acid and a diamine mainly composed of an aliphatic diamine having 9 carbon atoms. The thermoplastic elastomer (B) has functional groups. The film is a stretched film.
