Abstract
Abstract Polyamides having a modified dye affinity are disclosed as prepared by polymerizing polyamide-forming monomers with a mixture consisting or consisting essentially of a dicarboxylic acid having the general formula HOOC-R-COOH, in which R is an aromatic, cyclo-aliphatic or aliphatic radical, and of a salt of a sulphonic dicarboxylic acid having the general formula: <IMAGE> in which R has the meaning specified hereinbefore, X is an alkali or alkaline earth metal or ammonium, and n is a whole number from 1 to 4.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A process for preparing a fiber-forming polyamide having a modified dye affinity and no affinity for acid dyes and no affinity for basic dyes, which comprises polymerizing a composition of at least one polyamide-forming monomer and 1-45 millimols/kg monomer of a modifier composition consisting essentially of a mixture of a dicarboxylic acid having the general formula HOOC--R--COOH (I) wherein R is a simple or simply substituted aromatic radical having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloaliphatic radical having 4 to 18 carbon atoms, or an alkylene radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoums, and a salt of a sulphonated dicarboxylic acid having the general formula: ##STR4## wherein R has the meaning specified hereinabove, X is an alkali or alkaline earth metal or ammonium radical, and n is an integer from 1 to 4, in which the molar ratio between the salt of the sulphonated dicarboxylic acid and the dicarboxylic acid, ##STR5## ranges from 0.01 to 1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
A process for preparing a fiber-forming polyamide having a modified dye affinity and no affinity for acid dyes and no affinity for basic dyes, which comprises polymerizing a composition of at least one polyamide-forming monomer and 1-45 millimols/kg monomer of a modifier composition consisting essentially of a mixture of a dicarboxylic acid having the general formula HOOC--R--COOH (I) wherein R is a simple or simply substituted aromatic radical having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, cycloaliphatic radical having 4 to 18 carbon atoms, or an alkylene radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoums, and a salt of a sulphonated dicarboxylic acid having the general formula: ##STR4## wherein R has the meaning specified hereinabove, X is an alkali or alkaline earth metal or ammonium radical, and n is an integer from 1 to 4, in which the molar ratio between the salt of the sulphonated dicarboxylic acid and the dicarboxylic acid, ##STR5## ranges from 0.01 to 1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the dicarboxylic acid has the general formula (I) in which R is an alkylene radical having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, or an aromatic or cycloaliphatic radical having 6 carbon atoms, and in which the carboxylic groups are linked in ortho-, meta- or para-position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
A process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the salt of a sulphonated dicarboxylic acid has the general formula (II) in which R is an aromatic radical containing 6 carbon atoms, n is 1, and the carboxylic groups are linked in meta- or para-position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A process according to claim 1 or 2 wherein the amount of mixture consisting essentially of a dicarboxylic acid having the general formula (I) and a salt of a sulphonated dicarboxylic acid having the general formula (II) ranges from 20 to 35 millimols/kg of monomers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
A process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the molar ratio between the salt of a sulphonated dicarboxylic acid having the general formula (II) and the dicarboxylic acid having the general formula (I) ranges from 0.1 to 0.5.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the monomer forming the polyamide is the salt of a dicarboxylic aliphatic acid with a diamine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
A process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the monomer forming the polyamide is a lactam.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
11 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
Polyamide having no dye affinity for either acid or basic dyes, prepared according to the process claimed in claim 1 or 2.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
A fiber or filament of a polyamide as defined in claim 9.
