Abstract:
Polyamide terpolymer compositions, which contain biobased monomers and are suitable for making shaped articles, are disclosed. Comprised of three monomeric species polymerized randomly, including hexamethylene diamine, adipic acid and a bio-based monomer, the compositions are easier to process and have better dye uniformity than polyamides formed from melt-blended biobased components, and are comparable in dyeability, color fastnessand appearance retention performance to non-biobased polyamide copolymers.
Abstract:
Briefly described, embodiments of this disclosure include fibers, methods of making fibers, structures (e.g., textile articles), and carpets.
Abstract:
A method of producing a multicolored textured carpet comprises blending a polyamide polymer and a color pigment to form a melt blend, extmsion spinning the melt blend to form pigmented polyamide yams, tufting (1) the pigmented polyamide yams and (2) white dyeable polyamide yams into a carpet, and overdyeing the carpet with an amount of acid dye sufficient to produce the multicolored textured carpet. The color pigment and the acid dye are selected to provide desired multicolored effect in the caipet. The multicolored textured caipet having deeper color and dye light fastness is also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a nylon yarn of a finely dispersed melt blended polymer alloy having i) a polyamide component selected from polyhexamethyleneadipamide, polycaprolactam and mixtures thereof, and ii) a nylon 11 component; wherein the polyamide component is the major component by weight of the total melt blended polymer and wherein the polyamide component has a viscosity of about 2.6 IV or more as measured in 96% sulfuric acid. The resulting nylon yarn shows improved bleach resistance. The present invention also relates to processes of producing the yarn and nylon carpets comprising the yarn described above.
