Methods for producing a polyamide having an optical absorber pendent from the polyamide's backbone (OAMB-polyamide) may comprise: esterifying a hydroxyl-pendent optical absorber with a halogen-terminal aliphatic acid to yield a halogen-terminal alkyl-optical absorber; and N-alkylating a polyamide with the halogen-terminal alkyl-optical absorber to yield the OAMB-polyamide. Other methods for producing an OAMB-polyamide may comprise: esterifying a carboxyl-pendent optical absorber with a halogen-terminal aliphatic alcohol to yield a halogen-terminal alkyl-optical absorber; and N-alkylating a polyamide with the modified optical absorber to yield a polyamide having the OAMB-polyamide.

A method of preparing a vinyl collagen microsphere polyamide fiber composite material includes the following steps: step 1: modifying a collagen with methacrylic anhydride to obtain a vinyl collagen, then emulsifying and cross-linking the vinyl collagen to obtain vinyl collagen microspheres; step 2: treating a polyamide fiber substrate with formaldehyde to obtain a hydroxylated polyamide fiber substrate, treating the hydroxylated polyamide fiber with (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPS) to obtain a sulfhydrylated polyamide fiber substrate; and step 3: modifying the sulfhydrylated polyamide fiber substrate with the vinyl collagen microspheres to obtain the vinyl collagen microsphere polyamide fiber composite material.

An additive manufactured condensation polymer article with improved build or Z direction strength may be formed by physically mixing or depositing thereon a chain extender that extends and chemically bonds the polymer chains within and between layers upon heating and fusing during the additive manufacturing process.

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.

Disclosed are an aniline anhydride, a preparation method therefor, and a polyaminoacid graft chain. In the presence of an acid binding agent, an addition-elimination reaction is carried out between N-phenyl amino acid and Boc anhydride to obtain N-phenyl-Boc-glycine; and under a nitrogen atmosphere, the N-phenyl-Boc-glycine is subject to cyclization to obtain the aniline anhydride. The polyaminoacid graft chain can be obtained using the aniline anhydride disclosed by means of chemical grafting and thus be covalently bonded with fiber. The fastness is high, the wearability of fabric is not affected, and the problem of low fastness of water-repellent fabric obtained by coating is solved. The polyaminoacid graft chain is biocompatible, naturally degradable and environmentally friendly, and is consistent with the current trend of developing green chemicals.
