Notes:
Polycondensation of diesters having hydroxyl or pyridine groups was carried out with hexamethylenediamine (HMD) in the presence of (vinyl alcohol/vinyl acetate) copolymers as a matrix polymer. Apparent rates of the polycondensation of dimethyl tartrate (DMT) with HMD increased with increasing contents of PVA units in the copolymers and a strong entanglement between growing polyamide chains and PVA copolymers took place through the adsorption of HMD and DMT on the matrix copolymers. 2,6-Dimethyl pyridine dicarboxylate (2,6-DMP) reacted with HMD in the presence of the PVA copolymers or polysaccharide, while the rate enhancement effect of the matrix polymers was not significantly observed, as in the case of DMT. The effect of the matrix polymers on the polycondensation was discussed in terms of hydrogen bonding interactions.
