Abstract:
Process for the production of a thermoplastic polymer comprising segments of a diamide, the process comprising: 1) a first step of preparing a reaction mixture comprising a diamine H2N—Y—NH2 Form. (I), and a diester of a dicarboxylic acid Form. (II) 2) a second step of heating the reaction mixture to a temperature at least 5° C. above the crystallization temperature of the diester and a least 5° C. below the melting temperature of the formed amide (formula III) in the presence of an alkaline or earth alkaline alkoxy catalyst Form. (III) wherein X and Y are the same or different and are an aliphatic group comprising 2-12 carbon atoms or an aromatic group comprising 6-20 carbon atoms, R1 and R2 are the same or different and are an aliphatic group comprising 2-15 carbon atoms and wherein R equals R1 or R2 and are the same or different. 3) optionally a third step of quenching the catalyst of the reaction mixture obtained in the second step by adding an acid to the reaction mixture and 4) a fourth step of adding further components to the reaction mixture obtained in the second step, or if the third step has been applied to the reaction mixture obtained in the third step, and so producing the thermoplastic polymer comprising the segments of the diamide.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a pressure vessel comprising a hollow body comprising endless fibers embedded in a thermoplastic polymer, in which the thermoplastic polymer comprises one or more polyamides containing one or more aliphatic monomeric units, wherein the one or more polyamides have a CH2-ratio of at least 5.5 and less than 10, calculated by □ identifying the number of different aliphatic monomeric units in the one or more polyamides; □ determining the number of CH2 groups per aliphatic monomeric unit for each of these different aliphatic monomeric units; □ calculating the sum of the so determined numbers of CH2 groups; □ dividing said sum by the number of different aliphatic monomeric units in the one or more polyamides; taking into account only the aliphatic monomeric units present in the one or more polyamides in an amount of at least 10 wt % with respect to the total weight of the one or more polyamides.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tape, comprising at least one layer comprising a. endless fiber in an total amount of at least 40 volume % as compared to the total volume of the layer and b. a thermoplastic matrix comprising one or more polyamides containing one or more aliphatic monomeric units, c. and optionally heat stabilizer, flame retardant, colorant, lubricant, mold release agent, UV stabilizer, impact modifier, laser absorbing additive as well as combinations thereof; wherein the one or more polyamides have a CH2-ratio of at least 5.5 and less than 10, calculated by—identifying the number of different aliphatic monomeric units in the one or more polyamides; —determining the number of CH2 groups per aliphatic monomeric unit for each of these different aliphatic monomeric units; —calculating the sum of the so determined numbers of CH2 groups; —dividing said sum by the number of different aliphatic monomeric units in the one or more polyamides; taking into account only the aliphatic monomeric units present in the one or more polyamides in an amount of at least 10 wt % with respect to the total weight of the one or more polyamides. The invention also relates to a vessel prepared by employing these tapes.
