Description
The present invention relates to novel transparent polyamides, to processes for producing them, and to their use for producing transparent moulded articles.
In the German Offenlegungsschrift No. 1,720,534 are described generically transparent copolyamides resistant to boiling and formed from aromatic dicarboxylic acids, caprolactam and unsubstituted or alkyl-substituted alkylenediamines which have 1-10 C atoms in the chain and which are substituted on at least one of the two terminal C atoms by an alkyl group having 1-4 C atoms. The pro-portion of caprolactam used is 1-25, preferably 5-15, per cent by weight, relative to the amount of dicarboxylic acid and alkylenediamine. The actual disclosure in this Offenlegungsschrift is restricted however to copolyamides formed from aromatic dicarboxylic acids, caprolactam and alkylenediamines of the aforementioned type having a maximum of 7 C atoms in the chain. In the British Patent Specifications Nos. 905,475 and 919,096 are described further transparent polyamides from terephthalic acid or isophthalic acid, or mixtures thereof, and hexamethylene-diamines having at least three C atoms, introduced by alkyl-substitution, in one or more side chains, such as 2,2,4-and 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylenediamine, 2-methyl-4-ethyl-hexamethylenediamine and 2-ethyl-4-methylhexamethylene-diamine, or isomeric mixtures of hexamethylenediamines of 11'~0191

- 2 -this kind. These prior known transparent polyamides however leave much to be desired with regard to water absorption, stability to hydrolysis and/or dimensional stability under the action of moisture, in consequence of which also the mechanical and electrical properties of these polyamides are impaired.
The object of the invention was therefore to provide novel transparent polyamides which are resistant to boiling and which have less absorption of water~ increased stability to hydrolysis, good dimensional stability under the action of moisture, and correspondingly improved mechanical and electrical properties.

If cycloalkyl groups Rl or R2 are substituted by alkyl groups, these are in particular alkyl groups having 1-4 C atoms, and especially 1 or 2 C atoms. Cycloalkyl groups Rl and R2 preferably have only one alkyl substituent of that kind. Particularly preferred are however unsub-stituted cycloalkyl groups Rl and R2, especially those having 4-8 C atoms, and more especially the cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cyclooctyl groups.
Alkylene groups R3, R4 and R5 can be straight-chain or branched-chain, but are preferably straight-chain.
Examples of such alkylene groups are the tetramethylene, pentamethylene, hexamethylene, heptamethylene, octamethylene, decamethylene and dodecamethylène groups.
As amide-forming derivatives of terephthalic acid or of the dicarboxylic acids of the formula III, it is possible to use for example the corresponding dihalides, especially the dichlorides, also dinitriles or activated diesters, particularly the diphenyl esters.

Preferred polyamides are those which are obtained by polycondensation of a mixture of essentially stoichio-metric amounts of terephthalic acid, or of an amide-forming derivative thereof, and a diamine of the formula I

Further preferred polyamides according to the invention are the following three types:
1) Polyamides which are obtained by polycondensation in each case of mixtures of essentially stoichiometric amounts of terephthalic acid, or of an amide-forming derivative thereof, and l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyl-decane with 10 to 20 % by weight, preferably about 15 %

2) Polyamides which are obtained by polycondensation in each case of mixtures of essentially stoichiometric amounts of terephthalic acid, or of an amide-forming derivative thereof, and l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyldecane with 10 to 32.5 % by weight, preferably about 15 % by weight, of ll-aminoundecanoic acid or of the corresponding lactam.
3) Polyamides which are obtained by polycondensation in each case of mixtures of essentially stoichiometric amounts 11;~0~91 - s -of terephthalic acid, or of an am:ide-forming derivative thereof, and l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyldecane with 10 to 20 % by weight, preferably about 15 % by weight, of AH salt, or of a mixture of essentially stoichiometric amounts of adipic acid, or of an amide-forming derivative thereof, and hexamethylenediamine.
The reaction of the reaction components as defined can be performed by methods known per se. The preferred production process is the melt polycondensation process in several stages. In this case, the reaction components as defined, for example aminocarboxylic acids of the formula II or corresponding lactams, mixtures of terephthalic acid and diamine of the formula I, and optionally mixtures of dicarboxylic acids of the formula III and diamines of the formula IV, particularly salts from terephthalic acid and diamines of the formula I, and optionally salts from dicarboxylic acids of the formula III and diamines of the formula IV, are pre-condensed under pressure at tempera-tures between about 220 and 300C in the melt, advan-tageously under inert gas, such as nitrogen. The salts to be used for the pre-condensation reaction are advan-tageously produced separately from essentially stoichio-metric amounts of terephthalic acid and diamine of the formula I, and optionally dicarboxylic acids of the formula III and diamines of the formula IV, in suitable inert organic solvents. Suitable inert organic solvents are, for example, cycloaliphatic alcohols such as cyclo-pentanol and cyclohexanol, and especially aliphatic alcohols having up to 6 C atoms, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, butanols, pentanols and hexanols, and also mixtures of solvents of this kind with water. The pre-condensate can subsequently be further condensed at tem-peratures between about 220 and 300C under normal pressure, 11'~019~
and advantageo~lsly likewise in an inert-gas atmosphere, until the polyamides according to the invention are formed, and at the end of the polycondensation reaction there is optionally applied a vacuum for degassing the polyamide.
Polyamides according to the invention can also be optionally produced by melt polycondensation of diamine of the formula I and essentially stoichiometric amounts of an activated ester of terephthalic acid with an amino-carboxylic acid of the formula II or a corresponding lactam, or with diamine of the formula IV and essentially stoichiometric amounts of an activated ester of a dicarboxylic acid of the formula III. Suitable activated esters are in particular the corresponding diphenyl esters.
Finally, polyamides of the invention according to process variant b) can also be optionally produced, in a manner known per se, by condensation in solution or by inter-facial surface polycondensation.
The starting products of the formulae I, II, III and IV to be used according to the invention are known and can be produced in a manner known per se. Diamines of the formula I can be obtained in a particularly advantageous manner by catalytically hydrogenating in the 3,12-position correspondingly substituted 1,2-diaza-1,5,9-cyclododeca-triens or 1,2-diazacyclododecanes in the presence of an inert organic solvent.
The polyamides according to the invention have a transparent appearance, are resistant to boiling water, and are distinguished in particular by a low water absorption, high stability to hydrolysis and/or good dimensional stability. Furthermore, the properties of the polyamides according to the invention, such as the mechanical a~ld electrical properties, are only slightly af~ected by the action of moisture.
The polyamides according to the invention can be processed, by methods known per se, into tranparent moulded articles of the most varied types which are stable to hydrolysis and resistant to boiling, for example by the injection-moulding process or extrusion process. They are particularly suitable for producing transparent appliances or parts of appliances from the melt.
11'~0191 Example 1 In a reaction vessel, which is provided with stirrer, reflux condenser and dropping funnel, 116.0 g of terephthalic acid in a mixture of 2500 ml of ethanol and 900 ml of water is heated to reflux temperature, whereupon 235.0 g of l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyl-decane is added dropwise from the dropping funnel in the course of 10 minutes. The mixture is refluxed for 48 hours and then cooled to room temperature (20-25C), and the salt which has formed is filtered off. The yield after drying in vacuo is 344 g of salt (98 % of theory).
8.5 g of this salt is subsequently mixed with 1.5 g of caprolactam, and the mixture is sealed under nitrogen into a bomb tube. The bomb tube is then immersed for 3 hours în a salt bath heated to 280C. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction product is removed from the tube and is transferred to a condensing tube. As nitrogen is introduced, the reaction mixture is melted at 280C and held for 8 hours at this temperature. The melt on cooling solidifies to form a transparent substance.
The measurement of the reduced solution viscosity, measured on a 0.5% solution in m-cresol at 25C, gives a value of 0.80 dl/g. The glass transition temperature of the polyamide obtained, determined in a closed vessel by means of differential thermoanalysis, is 149C.
The polyamide is moulded by means of a hydraulic press at 270C into the form of a sheet. Water absorption of the sheet after 1 week's storage at room temperature with 65% relative humidity is 1.3 % by weight. The sheet exhibited no change in transparency after being treated for 6 hours in boiling water.
~ 0 19 Examples 2-10 In the Table which follows there are listed further polyamides which were obtained by the process described in Example 1 from differing amounts of salt from terephthalic acid and l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyl-decane and varying proportions of caprolactam, ll-amino-undecanoic acid or laurolactam. The properties of the resulting polyamides are likewise given in the Table.
Examples 11-13 Further copolyamides are obtained by polycondensation of the salt described in Example 1 with different pro-portions of the commercially obtainable salt from adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine (6,6 salt) using the process described in Example 1. The properties of the polyamides thus obtained are shown in the Table.
Example 14 In a round-bottomed flask, which is fitted with stirrer, reflux condenser and dropping funnel, 20.22 g of sebacic acid is dissolved in 500 ml of ethanol at 60C with stirring; and there is then rapidly added, through the dropping funnel, 20.04 g of 1,12-diaminododecane. The reaction mixture heats up during this time to boiling temperature, while the salt which is forming immediately commences to precipitate. After being stirred for 15 minutes under reflux, the white suspension which has formed is cooled to 5C, and filtered after a further 30 minutes. The salt obtained is dried at 80C in vacuo to give a yield of 39.7 g (98.6 % of theory). 2.0 g of this salt is then mixed with 8.0 g of salt obtained according to Example 1 from terephthalic acid and 1,10-diamino-l,10-dicyclohexyldecane, and the mixture is sealed under nitrogen in a bomb tube. The bomb tube is then immersed for 3 hours in a salt bath at 280C, and after cooling to room temperature the contents are taken from the tube and transferred to a condensing tube. While nitrogen is being introduced, the contents of the tube are melted at 280C and are held at this temperature for 8 hours. The properties of the polyamide obtained are given in the Table.
Example lS
Example 14 is repeated with however the difference that 30 % by weight of the salt produced according to Example 14 is used as co-condensation component. The properties of the polyamide obtained are given in the Table.
Example 16 7.5 g of the salt (described in Example 1) from terephthalic acid and l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyl-decane is mixed with 2.5 g of a salt, produced anal-ogously to that in Example 14, from 1,8-diaminooctane and dodecandioic acid (1,12), and the mixture is poly-condensed under the conditions described in Example 1.
The properties of the polyamide obtained are given in the Table.
ExamPles 17 and 18 By polycondensation of the salt described in Example 1, formed from terephthalic acid and l~10-diamino-1,10-dicyclo-hexyldecane with caprylic lactam (8-aminooctanoic acid lactam) in the quantity ratios`given in the Table, there are produced further copolyamides of which the properties are summarised in the Table.

of 6-aminocaproic acid is polycondensed with the exclusion of atmospheric oxygen and under the following conditions:
- 1 hour at 220C under normal pressure (N2), - l hour at 250C under normal pressure (N2), - 3 1/2 hours at 260C under normal pressure (N2) and - 1 hour at 260C and 1870 Pa (N2).
The properties of the polyamide obtained are shown in the Table.
Example 20 In a manner analogous to that described in Example 19, there is produced a copolyamide from 2.66 g of 1,10-diamino-l,10-dicyclooctyldecane, 2.15 g of diphenyl terephthalate and 0.94 g of ll-aminoundecanolc acid.
The properties of the copolyamide are given in the Table.
Example 21 Into a reaction vessel of the type described in Example 1, there is placed 16.6 g of terephthalic acid in a mixture of 300 ml of ethanol and 60 ml of water, whereupon 30.85 g of l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclopentyldecane is added dropwise at reflux temperature. The resulting heterogenic mixture is maintained with stirring at boiling temperature until the pH value is about 7.5 (after 16 hours). On cooling to room temperature, the formed salt is filtered off and dried in vacuo at 100C. The yield is 45.4 g (98 % of theory).
In a manner analogous to that described in Example 1, 8.0 g of this salt is polycondensed with 2.0 g of lauro-lactam to obtain a copolyamide of which the properties are shown in the Table.

The 1,2-diaza-1,5,9-cyclododecatriens or 1,2-diaza-cyclododecanes used as star.ing products can be produced by the process described in the German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,330,097.
The reaction of the reaction components as defined can be performed by methods known per se. The preferred production process is the melt polycondensation process in several stages. In this case, the reaction components as defined, for example aminocarboxylic acids of the formula II or corresponding lactams, mixtures of terephthalic acid and diamine of the formula I, and optionally mixtures of dicarboxylic acids of the formula III and diamines of the formula IV, particularly salts from terephthalic acid and diamines of the formula I, and optionally salts from dicarboxylic acids of the formula III and diamines of the formula IV, are pre-condensed under pressure at tempera-tures between about 220 and 300C in the melt, advan-tageously under inert gas, such as nitrogen. The salts to be used for the pre-condensation reaction are advan-tageously produced separately from essentially stoichio-metric amounts of terephthalic acid and diamine of the formula I, and optionally dicarboxylic acids of the formula III and diamines of the formula IV, in suitable inert organic solvents. Suitable inert organic solvents are, for example, cycloaliphatic alcohols such as cyclo-pentanol and cyclohexanol, and especially aliphatic alcohols having up to 6 C atoms, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, butanols, pentanols and hexanols, and also mixtures of solvents of this kind with water. The pre-condensate can subsequently be further condensed at tem-peratures between about 220 and 300C under normal pressure, 11'~019~
and advantageo~lsly likewise in an inert-gas atmosphere, until the polyamides according to the invention are formed, and at the end of the polycondensation reaction there is optionally applied a vacuum for degassing the polyamide.
Polyamides according to the invention can also be optionally produced by melt polycondensation of diamine of the formula I and essentially stoichiometric amounts of an activated ester of terephthalic acid with an amino-carboxylic acid of the formula II or a corresponding lactam, or with diamine of the formula IV and essentially stoichiometric amounts of an activated ester of a dicarboxylic acid of the formula III. Suitable activated esters are in particular the corresponding diphenyl esters.
Finally, polyamides of the invention according to process variant b) can also be optionally produced, in a manner known per se, by condensation in solution or by inter-facial surface polycondensation.
The starting products of the formulae I, II, III and IV to be used according to the invention are known and can be produced in a manner known per se. Diamines of the formula I can be obtained in a particularly advantageous manner by catalytically hydrogenating in the 3,12-position correspondingly substituted 1,2-diaza-1,5,9-cyclododeca-triens or 1,2-diazacyclododecanes in the presence of an inert organic solvent.
The polyamides according to the invention have a transparent appearance, are resistant to boiling water, and are distinguished in particular by a low water absorption, high stability to hydrolysis and/or good dimensional stability. Furthermore, the properties of the polyamides according to the invention, such as the mechanical a~ld electrical properties, are only slightly af~ected by the action of moisture.
The polyamides according to the invention can be processed, by methods known per se, into tranparent moulded articles of the most varied types which are stable to hydrolysis and resistant to boiling, for example by the injection-moulding process or extrusion process. They are particularly suitable for producing transparent appliances or parts of appliances from the melt.
11'~0191 Example 1 In a reaction vessel, which is provided with stirrer, reflux condenser and dropping funnel, 116.0 g of terephthalic acid in a mixture of 2500 ml of ethanol and 900 ml of water is heated to reflux temperature, whereupon 235.0 g of l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyl-decane is added dropwise from the dropping funnel in the course of 10 minutes. The mixture is refluxed for 48 hours and then cooled to room temperature (20-25C), and the salt which has formed is filtered off. The yield after drying in vacuo is 344 g of salt (98 % of theory).
8.5 g of this salt is subsequently mixed with 1.5 g of caprolactam, and the mixture is sealed under nitrogen into a bomb tube. The bomb tube is then immersed for 3 hours în a salt bath heated to 280C. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction product is removed from the tube and is transferred to a condensing tube. As nitrogen is introduced, the reaction mixture is melted at 280C and held for 8 hours at this temperature. The melt on cooling solidifies to form a transparent substance.
The measurement of the reduced solution viscosity, measured on a 0.5% solution in m-cresol at 25C, gives a value of 0.80 dl/g. The glass transition temperature of the polyamide obtained, determined in a closed vessel by means of differential thermoanalysis, is 149C.
The polyamide is moulded by means of a hydraulic press at 270C into the form of a sheet. Water absorption of the sheet after 1 week's storage at room temperature with 65% relative humidity is 1.3 % by weight. The sheet exhibited no change in transparency after being treated for 6 hours in boiling water.
~ 0 19 Examples 2-10 In the Table which follows there are listed further polyamides which were obtained by the process described in Example 1 from differing amounts of salt from terephthalic acid and l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyl-decane and varying proportions of caprolactam, ll-amino-undecanoic acid or laurolactam. The properties of the resulting polyamides are likewise given in the Table.
Examples 11-13 Further copolyamides are obtained by polycondensation of the salt described in Example 1 with different pro-portions of the commercially obtainable salt from adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine (6,6 salt) using the process described in Example 1. The properties of the polyamides thus obtained are shown in the Table.
Example 14 In a round-bottomed flask, which is fitted with stirrer, reflux condenser and dropping funnel, 20.22 g of sebacic acid is dissolved in 500 ml of ethanol at 60C with stirring; and there is then rapidly added, through the dropping funnel, 20.04 g of 1,12-diaminododecane. The reaction mixture heats up during this time to boiling temperature, while the salt which is forming immediately commences to precipitate. After being stirred for 15 minutes under reflux, the white suspension which has formed is cooled to 5C, and filtered after a further 30 minutes. The salt obtained is dried at 80C in vacuo to give a yield of 39.7 g (98.6 % of theory). 2.0 g of this salt is then mixed with 8.0 g of salt obtained according to Example 1 from terephthalic acid and 1,10-diamino-l,10-dicyclohexyldecane, and the mixture is sealed under nitrogen in a bomb tube. The bomb tube is then immersed for 3 hours in a salt bath at 280C, and after cooling to room temperature the contents are taken from the tube and transferred to a condensing tube. While nitrogen is being introduced, the contents of the tube are melted at 280C and are held at this temperature for 8 hours. The properties of the polyamide obtained are given in the Table.
Example lS
Example 14 is repeated with however the difference that 30 % by weight of the salt produced according to Example 14 is used as co-condensation component. The properties of the polyamide obtained are given in the Table.
Example 16 7.5 g of the salt (described in Example 1) from terephthalic acid and l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclohexyl-decane is mixed with 2.5 g of a salt, produced anal-ogously to that in Example 14, from 1,8-diaminooctane and dodecandioic acid (1,12), and the mixture is poly-condensed under the conditions described in Example 1.
The properties of the polyamide obtained are given in the Table.
ExamPles 17 and 18 By polycondensation of the salt described in Example 1, formed from terephthalic acid and l~10-diamino-1,10-dicyclo-hexyldecane with caprylic lactam (8-aminooctanoic acid lactam) in the quantity ratios`given in the Table, there are produced further copolyamides of which the properties are summarised in the Table.

The properties of the polyamide obtained are shown in the Table.
Example 20 In a manner analogous to that described in Example 19, there is produced a copolyamide from 2.66 g of 1,10-diamino-l,10-dicyclooctyldecane, 2.15 g of diphenyl terephthalate and 0.94 g of ll-aminoundecanolc acid.
The properties of the copolyamide are given in the Table.
Example 21 Into a reaction vessel of the type described in Example 1, there is placed 16.6 g of terephthalic acid in a mixture of 300 ml of ethanol and 60 ml of water, whereupon 30.85 g of l,10-diamino-1,10-dicyclopentyldecane is added dropwise at reflux temperature. The resulting heterogenic mixture is maintained with stirring at boiling temperature until the pH value is about 7.5 (after 16 hours). On cooling to room temperature, the formed salt is filtered off and dried in vacuo at 100C. The yield is 45.4 g (98 % of theory).
In a manner analogous to that described in Example 1, 8.0 g of this salt is polycondensed with 2.0 g of lauro-lactam to obtain a copolyamide of which the properties are shown in the Table.
