Process for producing aromatic polyamides from amidine derivatives of polyamide forming reactants

Polyamides, particularly aromatic polyamides and mixed aromatic-aliphatic polyamides, are produced by heating various amidines or amidine derivatives to yield polymer and a volatile low molecular weight amide, such as formamide. The thermally polymerizable composition is an aromatic amidine or salt...

Zusammenfassung:Polyamides, particularly aromatic polyamides and mixed aromatic-aliphatic polyamides, are produced by heating various amidines or amidine derivatives to yield polymer and a volatile low molecular weight amide, such as formamide. The thermally polymerizable composition is an aromatic amidine or salt thereof, e.g. N,N-1,4-phenylene bis-(N',N'-dimethylformamidinium) terephthalate which is heat polymerizable to poly-(p-phenylene terephthalamide); or N-(p-carboxyphenyl)-N',N'-dimethyl formamidine hydrochloride which is heat polymerizable to poly-(p-benzamide).
