Abstract

Regular copolyamides of the formula ##STR1## WHERE X IS 2 TO 10, Y IS 0 TO 8, R is a divalent aliphatic or aromatic radical having 1 to 34 carbon atoms, and n is not less than 10, are prepared by reacting an aliphatic diester with an excess of an aliphatic diamine to form a diamine diamide, and reacting the diamine diamide intermediate with an aliphatic or aromatic diacid chloride. Permselective membranes prepared from the copolyamides find particular utility in desalination of water by reverse osmosis.
