SynopsisThree aromatic polyamides containing alkyl and ether linkages in the main chain were synthesized, using low-temperature solution and interfacial polycondensation procedures, and were characterized by viscosity, solubility, UV, IR, TGA, and DSC studies. Fibers were spun using a laboratory-scale wet spinning unit and their mechanical and morphological properties studied. The results were correlated with structure and spinning conditions.
