Abstract

AbstractThree series of polyamides having long methylene chain units have been prepared from p‐xylylenebisethylamine and 2,2′‐pphenylenebisethylamine with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids of long methylene chain units; aliphatic diamines of long methylene chain units with terephthalic, p‐benzenediacetic, and p‐benzenedipropionic acids; and aliphatic diamines with aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, both having long methylene chain units. The effects of the length of the methylene chain units on the melting point, the glass transition temperatures and the densities of these polyamides were investigated. The aromatic polyamides, in which even methylene chains are joined between a phenylene and an amide group generally have higher melting points than the corresponding ones with odd methylene chains. On the plots of the melting points and the densities of the aliphatic series against the amide concentrations, both the melting point and the density extrapolated to the zero amide concentration are found below the values for polymethylene.
