    Abstract: Solid solutions of alkali metal lactams in lactams, wherein the lactam contains 4-12 carbon atoms, are made by heating an alkali metal alcoholate of an alcohol containing 1-3 carbon atoms with an amount of lactam to give the required concentration of the alkali metal lactam in lactam solution and evaporating the alcohol formed under reduced pressure by stirring the reaction mixture at temperatures below the polymerization temperature of the lactam. Suitable lactams are pyrrolidone, piperidone, oenantholactam, caprolactam, caprylolactam, laurolactam, b -methyl-e -amino-caprolactam and methylene-bis-caprolactam. The solid solutions are used as catalysts for the polymerization of lactams (see Division C3).ALSO:Solid solutions of an alkali metal lactam in the lactam, which are prepared by reacting an alkali metal alcoholate of an alcohol containing 1-3 carbon atoms with an amount of lactam necessary to achieve the desired concentration of alkali metal derivative in the lactam and evaporating off under reduced pressure the alcohol formed, are used as catalysts, either alone or with activators, for the polymerization of lactams. The alkali metal lactam solution is preferably added in amounts of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of alkali metal with reference to the total weight of polyamide forming material. Activators which may be used are, e.g. acid chlorides or isocyanates, substituted ureas or methanes. Lactam derivatives which are used as catalysts are the potassium and sodium derivatives of lactams containing 4-12 carbon atoms in the ring, which may be substituted by alkyl or aryl groups, and lactams which are attached to a second lactam ring by an alkylene bridge, e.g. methylene-bis-caprolactam.

    Abstract: A process for the production of basic polyamides compatible with substances capable of being cured to plastics comprises reacting at a temperature of between 100 DEG and 350 DEG C., an o : o 1-octane and/or -nonane dicarboxylic acid which contains as a substituent an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having at least 8 carbon atoms in a continuous chain with a mixture of (a) an aliphatic polyamine, and (b) an aromatic and/or araliphatic polyamine, said polyamines having at least two primary amino groups in a molar ratio of carboxylic acid to amine of 1 : 1.1 to 1:3. Mono- and other di-carboxylic acids, e.g. acetic, benzoic, stearic, adipic, glutaric, sebacic, a -methyl-glutaric, sebacic, isophthalic and terephthalic acid may be present in the reaction mixture. Specified polyamines are ethylene, trimethylene, tetramethylene, pentamethylene, hexamethylene, decamethylene xylylene and o-, m- and p-phenylene diamine, 1 - amino - 9 - aminomethyloctadecane, 1-amino - 10 - aminomethyloctadecane, diaminocyclohexane, di-(aminomethyl) benzenes, 4 : 41-diamino - di - n - butyl ether, a - aminopyridine, polyamines of the formula H2N-(CH2)m-[NH-(CH2) m]n-NH2 where m is an integer from 2 to 6 and n is an integer from 1 to 4, diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine, dipropylene triamine and tripropylene tetramine. Monoamines, e.g. ethylamine, stearylamine or aniline may also be present in the reaction mixtures. The products of the invention may be used for curing polyepoxides or precondensed phenol, urea or melamine-aldehyde resins.

    Abstract: Compositions for coating paper comprise an alkaline casein solution and a polymer dispersion obtained by emulsion polymerization of a mixture of 90 to 99.9 weight per cent of one or more water-insoluble saponifiable ethylenically unsaturated compounds and 10 to 0.1 weight per cent of one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds which yield water-soluble polymers, at a pH of 3 to 6.5 in the presence of 0.3 to 5 weight per cent based on the monomers of one or more alkali metal or ammonium salts of sulphuric acid half esters of reaction products of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide with compounds containing hydroxyl, carboxyl, amide or imide groups, any adjustment of pH to a value above 6.5 being effected only after polymerization is completed. Specified watersoluble monomers are acrylic, methacrylic, maleic, fumaric, a -ethylacrylic, crotonic, a -chloracrylic and vinyl sulphonic acids, acrylamide, methacrylamide, vinyl lactams such as N-vinyl pyrrolidone, C-vinyl amines, N-vinyl amines and salts thereof. Specified saponifiable compounds are vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, acrylic and methacrylic esters of alcohols containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, maleic and itaconic esters and N,N-dibutylacrylamide. The monomer mixture may also comprise minor proportions of unsaponifiable compounds such as vinyl ethers, vinyl halides, vinylidene halides, butadiene, isoprene and styrene; and water soluble compounds which yield water-insoluble polymers, e.g. acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile and acrolein. The emulsifiers may be derived from fatty alcohols, fatty acids, resin acids, amides and imides of carboxylic and sulphonic acids, alkyl phenols and alkyl naphthols, and may be used alone or together with other emulsifiers and stabilizers, e.g. alkali metal and ammonium salts of carboxylic and sulphonic acids or sulphuric acid half esters, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyacrylamide. amide.
