Abstract
Abstract A high impact polyamide resin is prepared by interpolymerizing with polyamide forming monomers a minor amount of an approximately equi-molar mixture of a low molecular weight diolefin polymer, and a dimerized fat acid or acid derivative, said diolefin polymer and dimerized fat acid or derivative having terminal amide-forming functional groups of each end of the polymer chain.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A polyamide composition comprising the interpolymerization product of a polyamide-forming monomer or mixture of monomers selected from the group consisting of: a. a lactam b. an amino carboxylic acid c. a mixture of a divalent carboxylic acid and a divalent diamine d. a mixture of at least two of a, b and c, and from about 1 to 20% by weight of said polyamide composition of an approximately equi molar mixture of a diolefin polymer having an average molecular weight within the range of about 1,000 to 20,000 and a dimerized fat acid or fat acid derivative having from 16 to 48 carbon atoms, each of said diolefin polymer and fat acid or fat acid derivative having amide-forming functional groups at each terminal position in the molecular chain.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A polyamide composition comprising the interpolymerization product of a polyamide-forming monomer or mixture of monomers selected from the group consisting of: a. a lactam b. an amino carboxylic acid c. a mixture of a divalent carboxylic acid and a divalent diamine d. a mixture of at least two of a, b and c, and from about 1 to 20% by weight of said polyamide composition of an approximately equi molar mixture of a diolefin polymer having an average molecular weight within the range of about 1,000 to 20,000 and a dimerized fat acid or fat acid derivative having from 16 to 48 carbon atoms, each of said diolefin polymer and fat acid or fat acid derivative having amide-forming functional groups at each terminal position in the molecular chain.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
