Abstract
Abstract Polycarbonamide compositions having improved acid dye-resistance and basic dyeability properties wherein the polycarbonamides contain, as an integral part of the polymer chain, recurring amide linkages and terminal sulfonate groups resulting from aminoalkanesulfonic acids and/or alkali metal salts thereof, as well as the process for producing the modified polyamide compositions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A fiber-forming aliphatic polycarbonamide wherein recurring amide linkages and terminal sulfonate groups are integral parts of a polymer chain which consists essentially of a polymerization product obtained from reactants consisting essentially of (A) at least one polyamide-forming component selected from the group consisting of amino acid, lactam, dicarboxylic acid and diamine, and salt of dicarboxylic acid and diamine, and (B) at least one basic dyeability modifier selected from the group consisting of aminoalkanesulfonic acid and alkali metal salt thereof having the formula RNHR'SO 3 M wherein M is hydrogen or an alkali metal, R is hydrogen or a monovalent saturated hydrocarbon radical having 1-12 carbon atoms per radical, R' is a divalent saturated hydrocarbon radical having 1-18 carbon atoms per radical; said basic dyeability modifier being present therein in an amount of from about 0.05 to about 4 mol percent based on the mols of recurring amide units in the polycarbonamide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
A fiber-forming aliphatic polycarbonamide wherein recurring amide linkages and terminal sulfonate groups are integral parts of a polymer chain which consists essentially of a polymerization product obtained from reactants consisting essentially of (A) at least one polyamide-forming component selected from the group consisting of amino acid, lactam, dicarboxylic acid and diamine, and salt of dicarboxylic acid and diamine, and (B) at least one basic dyeability modifier selected from the group consisting of aminoalkanesulfonic acid and alkali metal salt thereof having the formula RNHR'SO 3 M wherein M is hydrogen or an alkali metal, R is hydrogen or a monovalent saturated hydrocarbon radical having 1-12 carbon atoms per radical, R' is a divalent saturated hydrocarbon radical having 1-18 carbon atoms per radical; said basic dyeability modifier being present therein in an amount of from about 0.05 to about 4 mol percent based on the mols of recurring amide units in the polycarbonamide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A fiber-forming polycarbonamide according to claim 1 wherein R' is a divalent saturated hydrocarbon radical having from 2-6 carbon atoms per radical.
