Abstract

Polyhydroxypolyamides (PHPAs) represent a class of synthetic polyamides derived from aldaric acid and diamine monomer units. This paper describes the synthesis of some poly (galactaramides), a class of polyhydroxypolyamides, that employs alkylene and substituted alkylenediammonium galactarate salts, with 1: 1 molar equivalency of the diacid and diamine monomer components, as precursors for the polyamides. The salts were treated ...
