Abstract:
A process for the condensation of imides and alcohols or amines to ester acyl lactams, ester amide acyl lactams or amide acyl lactams by reacting a polyol or polyamine in the liquid phase with an acyl lactam compound is disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an object and a process for the preparation of an object from an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer with high tensile strength and modulus, by converting:a) a solution of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer with a weight-average molecular weight above 6.times.10.sup.4 kg/Kmole into a shaped, solvent-containing object in a suitable solvent or mixture of solvents;b) converting this object into a gel object with a homogeneous gelstructure by rapid cooling to below the gelation temperature;c) removing the solvent present in this gel object for the most partd) Drawing the gel object during or after solvent removal at a temperature above the glass transition temperature but below the melting temperature of the copolymer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to combinations of polymer filaments or yarns of high tensile strength, high modulus and low coefficients of friction and filaments or yarns of high coefficients of friction. Combinations of this type, which have been produced in particular by core spinning the filaments or yarns of low coefficient of friction with filaments or yarns of high coefficients of friction or by twisting the two filament or yarn components, are suitable in particular for producing bulletproof wovens, knits and nonwovens.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a thermoplastic moulded printed circuit board consisting substantially of polyamide 4.6. Preferably use is made of a multilayer structure, of which at least one layer contains reinforcing filler material.
Abstract:
The adhesive strength of highly oriented, highmolecular polyolefin filaments for polar polymeric matrices is improved by subjecting the filaments to a corona treatment with a total irradiation dosage of ##EQU1## effected intermittently in several smaller dosages. The process is particularly suited for treating superstrong polyethylene fibers, and making reinforced materials while applying as matrix a polyester, polyamide or epoxy resin.
Abstract:
The invention relates to aromatic polyesters containing units with two carbonyl groups and having liquid crystalline properties. The aromatic polyesters are characterized in that the polyesters contain heterocyclic units with two carbonyl groups. Preferably these units are derived from furandicarboxylic acid. The aromatic polyesters show a considerable reduction in melting temperature, rendering the polyester more processable.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a polyamide composition with improved stability in contact with oil at elevated temperatures. The polyamide composition with superior stability characteristics has been obtained by the incorporation in the polyamide composition of a small amount of an alkaline inorganic material. Preferably the polyamide is nylon 4.6.
Abstract:
A multi-layer polyamide moulded articles having, inter alia, improving mechanical properties, one layer of which is reinforced with filler and covered at least on one side with a non-reinforced polyamide layer and of which the polyamide substantially consists of nylon 4,6 and the filler is non-fibrous.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for racemizing an optically active N-benzylidene amino-acid amide, characterized in that a solution of the N-benzylidene amino-acid amide is mixed in a water-miscible organic solvent with at least 0.05 mole strong base per liter solution.The invention further relates to a process for preparing an L-amino acid by enzymatic separation of the corresponding DL-amino-acid amide with an enzyme preparation from Pseudomonas putida, in which process also unconverted D-amino-acid amide is left behind in solution, characterized in that benzaldehyde is added to the solution, during which addition a precipitate of D-N-benzylidene amino-acid amide is being formed, this precipitate is subsequently, after being separated off, dissolved in an acetone-water mixture, 0.08-0.15 mole KOH/liter solution is subsequently added, the resulting solution is stirred for 1-20 hours at 20.degree.-60.degree. C., sulphuric acid is then added until the pH of the solution is 5 and the resulting sulphuric acid salt of the DL-amino-acid amide is finally, after isolation at pH 8-10, converted into the DL-amino-acid amide and this DL-amino-acid amide is used again.
