Notes:
It is proposed that depression of the transition temperatures, especially the melting point (Tm), can be achieved by the introduction of a different amide bond structure into the copolyamides of dicarboxylic acids and diamines by copolymerization of aminocarboxylic acids, such as p-aminobenzoic acid. The effect was examined by the amount and distribution of the structure in the copolylamindes. Copolycondensations of PEG3, p-aminobenzoic acid, and diamines with different chain lengths showed that the structural change of the amide bond in the copolymers, especially its distribution, was more important than its total amount in them. Several types of aminocarboxylic acids were briefly examined to study the effect. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
