Abstract
Abstract A polyamide powder consisting essentially of elementary porous particles having a "gypsum rose" structure and a process for preparing a polyamide powder comprising polymerizing by anionic polymerization lactam in a solvent medium in the presence of a catalyst, an activator, and at least one amide; one of which is N,N'-alkylene bisamide; said polymerization being initiated with said lactam and said amide used in an amount such that the solvent is in the supersaturated state at the polymerization initiation temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A process for preparing a polyamide porous powder of having a "gypsum rose" structure wherein the particles have a lamellar or shell-like structure whose lamellae, which grow anarchically are connected to each other, form cavities whose geometric shapes vary between the conical and pryamidal shapes, and the apices of these geometric forms are directed toward the center of the particle, comprising polymerizing by anionic polymerization lactam in a solvent medium in the presence of a catalyst, an activator, and at least one amide; one of which is N,N'-alkylene bisamide; said polymerization being initiated with said lactam and said amide used in an amount such that the solvent is in the supersaturated state at the polymerization initiation temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A process for preparing a polyamide porous powder of having a "gypsum rose" structure wherein the particles have a lamellar or shell-like structure whose lamellae, which grow anarchically are connected to each other, form cavities whose geometric shapes vary between the conical and pryamidal shapes, and the apices of these geometric forms are directed toward the center of the particle, comprising polymerizing by anionic polymerization lactam in a solvent medium in the presence of a catalyst, an activator, and at least one amide; one of which is N,N'-alkylene bisamide; said polymerization being initiated with said lactam and said amide used in an amount such that the solvent is in the supersaturated state at the polymerization initiation temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the solvent is an isoparaffin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 5, wherein the amount of the primary amide used is lower than 0.5 mole per 100 mole of lactam.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of any one of claims 1 through 6, wherein the polymerization initiation temperature is between 80° C. and 130° C.
