Described herein are novel amide copolymers wherein the amide segments have a length of at least three amide groups of which its length is substantially uniform and which copolymers have a glass transition temperature of less than 0°C. A copolymer according to the invention displays a fast crystallization from the melt, and a modulus that is little dependant on the temperature in the temperature region between glass transition and melting temperature. A polymer according to the invention can easily be melt processed by extrusion, injection molding and fiber spinning. A copolymer according to the inventions may be transparent, has a high fracture strain and a high elasticity.
