Abstract
A homologous polyamide series of 1,4-cyclohexanebis(ethylamine) (CBEA) was prepared with C6 to C12 linear, aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. Polymer and fiber properties were found to be quite dependent upon the cis and trans structure of the cycloaliphatic ring. Polyamides based on trans-1,4-CBEA had higher melting and higher glass transition temperatures than their cis analogs. In addition, trans polyamides were quite crystalline, whereas the cis polymers were almost completely amorphous. The boiling water shrinkage, tenacity, and moisture regain of the fibers reflected the differences in molecular fit between the cis and trans polyamides.
