Preferably, PTMG will be chosen.
- For Y>14, the PE blocks can comprise a blend of PE blocks or be a polyether copolymer. In this case, they comprise 0-39% by weight of PO3G and/or PEG and 100-61% by weight of polyether(s) other than PO3G or PEG (weight with respect to the weight of the PE blocks).
- The PE blocks are never predominantly of PEG and never comprise more than 39% by weight of PO3G (weight with respect to the weight of the PE blocks).
- The polyether blocks of the PEBA copolymer according to the present invention can also be polyoxyalkylene blocks comprising NH2 chain ends, it being possible for such blocks to be obtained by cyanoacetylation of aliphatic polyoxyalkylene-α,ω-dihydroxyl blocks, also known as polyether diols. More particularly, use may be made of Jeffamines (for example Jeffamine® D400, D2000, ED 2003 and XTJ 542, products sold by Huntsman. See also patents JP 2004346274, JP 2004352794 and EP 1 482 011).
- The number-average molecular weight of a copolymer according to the present invention is advantageously between 5000 and 50 000, preferably between 10 000 and 30 000.
- The number-average molecular weight of the PA blocks is advantageously between 500 and 10 000, preferably between 600 and 7000, more advantageously still between 1500 and 6000.
- The number-average molecular weight of the PE blocks is advantageously between 250 and 5000, preferably between 250 and 2000, more advantageously still between 350 and 1000.
- The PA blocks advantageously represent between 5 and 95% by weight, preferably between 10 and 95% by weight, of the sum of the PA blocks and PE blocks of the copolymer of the present invention.
- Another subject matter of the invention is a process for the preparation of a copolymer as defined above, in several stages, characterized in that:
-
- in a first stage, the polyamide PA blocks are prepared by polycondensation
- of the linear aliphatic diamine having X carbon atoms;
- of the dicarboxylic acid having Y carbon atoms; and
- in the presence of a chain-limiting agent chosen from dicarboxylic acids; then
- in a second stage, the polyamide PA blocks obtained are reacted with polyether PE blocks in the presence of a catalyst.
- in a first stage, the polyamide PA blocks are prepared by polycondensation
- The general method for the preparation in two stages of the PEBA copolymers of the invention having ester bonds between the PA blocks and the PE blocks is known and is described, for example, in French patent FR 2 846 332. The general method for the preparation of the PEBA copolymers of the invention having amide bonds between the PA blocks and the PE blocks is known and described, for example, in European patent EP 1 482 011.
- The reaction for the formation of the PA block is usually carried out between 180 and 300° C., preferably from 200 to 290° C., the pressure in the reactor becomes established between 5 and 30 bar and is maintained for approximately 2 to 3 hours. The pressure is slowly reduced by placing the reactor at atmospheric pressure and then the excess water is distilled off, for example over one or two hours.
- The polyamide comprising carboxylic acid ends having been prepared, the polyether and a catalyst are subsequently added. The polyether can be added on one or more occasions, and likewise for the catalyst. According to an advantageous form, the polyether is first added and the reaction of the OH ends of the polyether and of the COOH ends of the polyamide begins with the formation of ester bonds and elimination of water. As much as possible of the water is removed from the reaction medium by distillation and then the catalyst is introduced in order to complete the bonding of the polyamide blocks and polyether blocks. This second stage is carried out with stirring, preferably under a vacuum of at least 6 mmHg (800 Pa), at a temperature such that the reactants and the copolymers obtained are in the molten state. By way of example, this temperature can be between 100 and 400° C. and generally 200 and 300° C. The reaction is monitored by measuring the torque exhibited by the molten polymer on the stirrer or by measuring the electric power consumed by the stirrer. The end of the reaction is determined by the value of the target torque or of the target power.
- The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a copolymer as defined above, characterized in that a single-stage polycondensation is carried out:
-
- of the linear aliphatic diamine having X carbon atoms;
- in the presence of a chain-limiting agent chosen from dicarboxylic acids;
- in the presence of polyether PE blocks; and
- in the presence of a catalyst for the reaction between the PE blocks and the PA blocks.

- The following examples illustrate the present invention without, however, limiting the scope thereof.
- A PEBA was prepared from PA6.18 blocks with a molar mass of 2000 g/mol and from PTMG blocks with a molar mass of 1000 g/mol according to the following procedure:
- The following monomers are introduced into an autoclave equipped with a stirrer so as to obtain PA6.18 blocks: 5 kg of hexamethylenediamine and 16.9 kg of octadecanedioic acid. The mixture thus formed is placed under an inert atmosphere and heated until the temperature reaches 250° C. and a pressure of 32 bar. After maintaining for 1 h, a pressure-reducing operation lasting 1 h is subsequently carried out in order to return to atmospheric pressure.
- Polytetramethylene glycol with a mass of 1000 g/mol (10.22 kg) and Zr(OBu)4 (30 g) are subsequently added to the reactor in order to complete the polymerization at 240° C. under an absolute pressure of 8 mbar (i.e., 800 Pa).
- The final product PA6.18-PTMG has an intrinsic viscosity of 1.4 dl/g.

- A PEBA was prepared from PA10.14 blocks with a molar mass of 5000 g/mol and from PTMG blocks with a molar mass of 650 g/mol according to the preceding procedure with, however, as diamine, 1,10-decamethylenediamine (11.95 kg), as diacid, 1,12-dodecanedicarboxylic acid (19.4 kg), and polytetramethylene glycol (3.7 kg). The final product PA10.14-PTMG has an intrinsic viscosity of 1.28 dl/g.
- The injection molding of 100*100*2 mm sheets confirms the improved optical properties of the product with a transmission at 460 nm of 49.5%, at 560 nm of 62.9% and at 700 nm of 71.7% (measurements carried out according to ASTM D 1003), an opaqueness of approximately 20% (measurement carried out according to ASTM D 1003) and a haze of 11 (measurement carried out according to ISO 2814), which can be compared with the values obtained for a copolymer with the same size of PA blocks and with the same size of PE blocks respectively but based on PA12 and PTMG, the said values respectively being 14, 23, 35, not measured and 25.
- It has also been observed that the thermal properties, in particular the melting point of the PA phase, may be higher than in the case of a PA12/PTMG copolymer, this being the case for the same molar mass of the PA block and of the PE block. In particular, a PEBA 6.14/PTMG copolymer with a PA6.14 block with a mass of 5000 g/mol and a PTMG block of 650 g/mol has a melting point of 196-206° C., whereas a PEBA copolymer of PA12/PTMG type with the same size of blocks has a melting point of 172° C.

The final product PA6.14-PTMG has an intrinsic viscosity of 1.44 dl/g.
- The flexural modulus of the product thus obtained (after conditioning at 23° C. and 50% relative humidity for 14 days) was measured at 680 MPa, which can be compared with the flexural modulus at 380 MPa for a copolymer with the same size of PA blocks and with the same size of PE blocks respectively but based on PA12 and PTMG. Although much stiffer, the novel product does not break after 150 000 cycles during a flex fatigue test at −10° C. (Ross Flex test).
- A PEBA was prepared from PA6.12 blocks with a molar mass of 4000 g/mol and from PTMG blocks with a molar mass of 650 g/mol according to the preceding procedure with, however, as diamine, 1,6-hexamethylenediamine (13.9 kg), as diacid, dodecanedioic acid (29.8 kg), and polytetramethylene glycol (6.4 kg). The final product PA6.12-PTMG has an intrinsic viscosity of 1.38 dl/g. The flexural modulus of the product thus obtained (after conditioning at 23° C. and 50% relative humidity for 14 days) was measured at 730 MPa, which can be compared with the flexural modulus at 380 MPa for a copolymer with a larger size of PA blocks and with the same size of PE blocks respectively but based on PA12 and PTMG.
