A polyamide (9-T polyamide) comprising (a) 60 to 100 mole of terephthalic acid and (b) a diamine component comprising 60 to 100 mole % of 1,9-nonanediamine, said polyamide having an intrinsic viscosity �.eta.! as determined by measurement in concentrated sulfuric acid at 30.degree. C. of 0.6 to 2.0 dl/g and having at least 10% of terminal groups thereof blocked. Another polyamide (9M-T polyamide) comprises a dicarboxylic acid component (a) comprising 60 to 100 mole % of terephthalic acid and a diamine component (b) comprising 60 to 100 mole % of 1,9-nonanediamine and 2-methyl-1,8octanediamine, the molar ratio between said 1,9 nonanediamine and said 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine being in a range of 60:40 to 99:1, said polyamide having an intrinsic viscosity �.eta.! as determined by measurement in concentrated sulfuric acid at 30.degree. C. of 0.4 to 3.0 dl/g. These polyamides have excellent moldability, as well as excellent hot water resistance, surface neatness, heat resistance, mechanical characteristics, low-water-absorption property and chemical resistance. Polyamide compositions comprising the 9-T polyamide or 9M-T polyamide and a filler are suitably used as engineering plastics.

Polyamide and polyamide composition

The present invention relates to a novel copolymerized composition characterized in that it comprises (A) 100 parts by weight of a copolymerized polyester containing (a) an aromatic dicarboxylic acid unit composed mainly of a terephthalic acid unit, (b) a glycol unit composed mainly of an ethylene glycol unit, (c) a polytetramethylene glycol unit, (d) a polyethylene glycol unit and (e) an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid unit having 9 or more carbon atoms, (B) 5 to 150 parts by weight of a reinforcing substance and (C) 1 to 10 parts by weight of a metal salt of an ionic copolymer. The copolymerized polyester compositions of the present invention retain excellent heat resistance and rigidity that the glass fiber-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate compositions possess originally and are considerably improved in terms of low-temperature moldability, toughness, alkali resistance and like other factors.
