A process for the manufacture of a partially aromatic polyamide is disclosed. The process comprises the polymerization stages of, in sequence, feeding to a reactor a slurry of at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid and at least one aliphatic diamine, then with the incremental addition of water and in the presence of 0.05 to 2% by weight of a monocarboxylic acid, heating the slurry to a temperature of at least 270 DEG C. while maintaining a pressure of at least 1.2 MPa. The preferred dicarboxylic acid is 2,6 naphthalene dicarboxylic acid. The polyamides may be used in the manufacture of products using melt processing techniques. |
