Fattypolyamide was prepared by reaction of (1,5-Diamino pentane) with
dimeric fatty acid C36 in molten state. The reaction was performed at 110 C˚
without catalyst, then with (Phosphoric acid, Sulphoric acid and Manganese
dioxides). The Kinetic st
udy was carried out on the reaction and followed by
determining the acid value of the product. The polyamidation reaction was
found to be on the overall a second order up to 59% conversion. Then the
reaction order changes. We found that the Catalyst increases the velocity of the
reaction with manganese dioxides the best Catalyst. The Degree of
Polymerization, Number Average Molecular Weight and Weight Average
Molecular Weight have been calculated during different times. The
relationships between Degree of Polymerization and Number Average
Molecular Weight, Weight Average Molecular Weight with times are linear
until 59%conversion at 110˚C with used catalysts. The highest (N.A.M.W) and
(W.A.M.W) was accomplished with the Catalyst MnO2.
