Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for reducing the crystallization temperature an the melting temperature of a polyamide powder resulting from the polymerization of at least one predominant monomer, in which the reduction in the crystallization temperature is greater than the reduction in the melting temperature, said method comprising a step of polymerization of said at least one predominant monomer with at least one different minor comonomer polymerized according to the same polymerization process as said at least one predominant monomer, said at least one minor comonomer being chosen from aminocarboxylic acids, diamine/diacid pairs, lactams and/or lactones, and said at least one minor comonomer representing from 0.1% to 20% by weight of the total blend of said monomers(s) and comonomer(s), preferably from 0.5% to 15% by weight of said total blend, preferably from 1% to 10% by weight of said total blend.
