Polyamide powder formed by particles having a gypsum rose structure and process for preparing such powder

摘要

A polyamide powder consisting essentially of elementary porous particles having a "gypsum rose" structure and a process for preparing a polyamide powder comprising polymerizing by anionic polymerization lactam in a solvent medium in the presence of a catalyst, an activator, and at least one amide; one of which is N,N'-alkylene bisamide; said polymerization being initiated with said lactam and said amide used in an amount such that the solvent is in the supersaturated state at the polymerization initiation temperature.
