Abstract
A process is disclosed for the discontinuous production of a polyamide having the generic formula: ##STR1## and an inherent viscosity of at least 3, wherein 50 to 100% of the radicals R are p-phenylene radicals and 0 to 50% are n-butylene radicals. Terephthaloyl chloride, and optionally adipoyl chloride, are reacted in stoichiometric amounts with a solution of paraphenylenediamine and/or of 4,4'-diaminoadipanilide in a mixture of N-methylpyrrolidone-2 and calcium chloride which is homogeneous and substantially anhydrous, with a molar ratio of CaCl.sub.2 / unit: ##STR2## of at least 0.7, and under conditions such that the final composition contains 5 to 16% by weight of polymer, relative to the N-methylpyrrolidone-2. The polymer obtained can be converted into films, fibers and high-performance yarns for reinforcing composite materials or articles made of rubber.
