Patent number: 4275239Abstract: The partially crystalline polyamides according to the invention are obtained by reacting terephthalic acid, or an amide-forming derivative thereof, with a diamine of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 singly or together are organic radicals. The reaction mixture can also contain up to 30% by weight of other amide-forming substances (aminocarboxylic acids or lactams, or mixtures of dicarboxylic acids and diamines), provided the formation of the partial crystallinity of the resulting polyamides is retained. The polyamides are suitable for producing moulded products of the most varied types. They are particularly applicable for producing filaments and fibres.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1980Date of Patent: June 23, 1981Assignee: Ciba-Geigy CorporationInventors: Josef Pfeifer, Heinz Peter

Patent number: 4273898Abstract: A novel composition comprises a block copolymer of a polyetheramide, e.g., poly-(4,7-dioxadecamethylene adipamide) and a random copolymer resulting from the polymerization of an ether free polyamide precursor, e.g., hexamethylenediamine salt of adipic acid and a precursor of a polyetheramide. The block copolymer can be more easily processed into useful articles such as fiber and film because it differs structurally from a corresponding block copolymer of homopolymers of polyetheramide and polyamide.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 1979Date of Patent: June 16, 1981Assignee: Suntech, Inc.Inventors: Edward M. Kohn, Stephen L. Nickol, Robert M. Thompson
