The present invention relates to a polyamide, to a composition comprising same, and to the use thereof, and also to a molded article deriving therefrom and to a process for producing same. The polyamide is particularly suitable as hot-melt adhesive for the low-pressure and low-temperature overmolding of a heat-sensitive battery, for example a lithium-polymer battery.

A composition including a copolymer containing polyamide blocks and polyether blocks including at least one carboxylic acid chain end having reacted with an epoxide function, the process for preparing same, and also the use thereof. A foam formed from this composition, the process for preparing same, and the use thereof.

The present invention relates to a foam of polymers comprising an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer and/or a copolymer of ethylene and of alkyl (meth)acrylate and a copolymer containing polyamide blocks and polyether blocks (PEBA). The present invention also relates to a process for producing such a foam and also to the use of said foam, in particular in shoes.

The present invention relates to a copolymer having polyamide blocks and having polyether blocks (PEBA) which can be used for the manufacture of an article, preferably a foamed article. The invention also relates to expanded particles prepared from said copolymer and to the manufacture of a foamed article from said expanded particles.

A plastic material is useful as an ink receiver or printing medium in dye diffusion thermal transfer printing, wherein the plastic material has a polyamide component (a), and a (co)-polyamide (b) based on ether units and amide units. This plastic material can be used to make a layered structure. The layered structure can be used in dye diffusion thermal transfer printing. A security and/or valuable document with the layered structure can be obtained. Based on the finding that the (co)-polyamide (h) offers sufficient absorbency for the printing ink, the layer produced from the plastic material can be printed on by means of dye diffusion thermal transfer printing with a good color intensity.

A method of producing a polyamide elastomer comprising feeding a salt solution having a solids content of greater than or equal to 80% to a reactor having a phosphorous containing catalyst having a phosphorous level from 5 to 1000 part by million based on the total weight of the catalyst, feeding a polyether amine to the reactor, and reducing the pressure in the reactor once a target temperature is reached to polymerize the salt solution and the polyether amine to form the polyamide elastomer. The polyamide elastomer has particular uses as a cable tie and demonstrates improved cold-temperature applications while maintaining high strength, good flammability rating, and excellent processability.
