    Abstract: A process is described for the preparation of high-molecular weight white polyamides, substantially consisting of units of ?NH-(CH2)4-NH-CO(CH2)4-CO?, by the after-condensation of a corresponding low-molecular prepolymer, consisting substantially of a molecular chain of units of ?NH-(CH2)4-NH-CO(CH2)4-CO?, in which process the prepolymer which is employed has been prepared in the presence of an excess of 0.5 to 15 moles-% of 1,4-diaminobutane with respect to the quantity stoichiometrically equivalent to the adipic acid applied. This prepolymer is thereafter subjected to the after-condensation reaction in the solid phase in an atmosphere containing water vapor.

    Abstract: POLY-2-PYRROLIDONE AND A PROCESS FOR ITS PREPARATION A new type of poly-2-pyrrolidone suitable for melt spinning and a process for its preparation. The new poly-2-pyrrolidone is characterized in that the polymer in the virgin state has a relative viscosity (1 gram of polymer in 100 ml of 96% sulphuric acid at 20.degree.C) of between 2.2 and 7.0, shows a weight loss of less than 5% by weight when heated from 20.degree.C to the onset temperature of thermal degradation at a rate 4.degree.C per minute, the ratio between the relative viscosities after and before melt spinning ranges between 0.50:1 and 0.95:1, and the relative viscosity after melt spinning is at least 1.90. The new poly-2-pyrrolidone is prepared by polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone in the presence of an anionic catalyst and an accelerator wherein N-(2 caprolactim)-caprolactam is used as the accelerator in an amount of between 0.05 and 5.0 mole percent relative to the monomer, and the polymerization is carried out at a temperature of between about 25 and 70.degree.C until a relative viscosity of at least 2.2 is obtained.
