A method for preparing heterochain polymers, viz. polyamides or polyarylates which comprises an interphase polycondensation of diamines or bisphenols with dihaloanhydrides of dicarboxylic acids; said interphase polycondensation is performed by atomization of dihaloanhydrides of dicarboxylic acids in the form of an aerosol by means of a compressed gas into an aqueous solution of said diamines or bisphenols; concentration of said dihaloanhydrides of dicarboxylic acids in the aerosol is maintained within the range of from 0.4.times.10.sup.-4 to 2.times.10.sup.-4 mol/l of the gas; dihaloanhydrides of dicarboxylic acids which are solid under normal conditions are melted or dissolved prior to the atomization in organic solvents which are inert with respect to said dihaloanhydrides of dicarboxylic acids to a concentration of from 5 to 20 mol/l of the solvent; dihaloanhydrides of dicarboxylic acids which are liquid under normal conditions are fed directly to atomization; the desired product is then isolated from the suspension resulting from the interphase polycondensation. The method of the present invention makes it possible to substantially reduce (by 10 to 40 times) the consumption of an organic solvent or totally avoid its use in the process. It also makes possible to produce polymers in the form of fibrides thus making more simple and efficient the manufacture of synthetic paper and filter materials. The method of the present invention is technologically simple and can be performed both by a continuous and a periodic scheme.

Method for preparing heterochain polymers

A method of producing poly-p-phenyleneterephthalamide or its copolymers residing in that p-phenylenediamine or p-phenylenediamine and an aromatic diamine of the diphenyl series is/are disclosed in amide-salt solvents consisting of linear or cyclic N-alkyl-substituted amides of acids and of salts of alkaline or alkaline-earth metals soluble in said amides in amounts of 1-3 moles per mole of diamines; terephthalic acid dichloride or a mixture of terephthalic acid dichloride and aromatic acid dichloride of the diphenyl series are introduced into the solutions obtained at 0.degree.-20.degree. C. in amounts equimolar to those of the diamines, a reaction mixture being thus formed; tertiary amines are introduced into said reaction mixture in amounts 2-6 moles per mole of the initial diamines; the reaction mixture is stirred for 3-70 minutes and the end product is separated from the mass obtained. The method proposed herein is technologically simple and provides high-molecular polymeric products suitable for manufacturing heat-resistant, high-strength, and high-modulus fibres.
