    摘要: Described herein are amorphous and transparent aliphatic polyamides (PA) formed from the polycondensation of monomers in a reaction mixture (RM) including a dicarboxylic acid component (DC) and a diamine component (DA). The dicarboxylic acid component (DC) includes 25 mol % to 80 mol % of 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid (“1,4-CHDA”) and 20 mol % to 75 mol % of a linear, aliphatic dicarboxylic acid selected from azelaic acid, sebacic acid or a combination thereof. The diamine component (DA) includes a cycloaliphatic diamine selected from the group consisting of isophoronediamine (“IPDA”); 4,4′-methyl-enebis(2-methylcyclohexylamine) (“MACM”); 4,4′-methylene-bis-cyclohexane (“PACM”); 1,3-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane (“1,3-BAC”), bis(aminomethyl)norborane (“BAMN”) and any combination of two or more thereof. It was surprisingly found that the polyamides (PA), while being bio-based (at least in part due to the linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid), had excellent optical clarity, improved UV stability and desirably high Tg.

    摘要: Described herein are polymer compositions (PC) including a polyamide (PA) and a poly(arylene sulfide) (PASP). The polyamide (PA) is a semi-aromatic polyamide derived from the polycondensation of an aliphatic diamine, a bis(aminoalkyl)cyclohexane, terephthalic acid, and, optionally, a cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid. It was surprisingly discovered that semi-aromatic polyamides derived from the cycloaliphatic diamine bis(aminoalkyl)cyclohexane or the specific combination of the cycloaliphatic diamine bis(aminoalkyl)cyclohexane and the cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acid cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid provided for polymer compositions (PC) having improved retention of mechanical properties (e.g. tensile modulus and tensile strength) after aging in aqueous polyol solutions. It was also surprisingly discovered that incorporation of a nucleating agent in the polymer composition (PC) provided for significantly improved tensile strength retention after aging. The polymer compositions (PC) can be desirably incorporated into articles that are exposed to elevated temperatures and are designed to convey or store polyol based fluids including, but not limited to, engine coolant.
