Abstract
The invention relates to high molecular weight thermoplastically deformable branched aliphatic polyamides prepared by polycondensation of lactams and/or polyamide-forming diamine/dicarboxylic acid reaction mixtures and/or amino acids in the presence of small amounts of specific diamino-alcohols and approximately equivalent amounts of polycarboxylic acids (preferably dicarboxylic acids), and to a process for their preparation, which is distinguished by considerably shortened polycondensation times, without crosslinked products being formed. If appropriate, the process additionally utilizes a solid phase after-condensation, in which rapid further condensation to products which are indeed branched but are soluble in m-cresol and have an increased melt viscosity takes place.
