Abstract

The polyamides according to the invention are mainly transparent (amorphous), but in some cases also partially crystalline. They have a reduced specific viscosity (0.5% in m-cresol at 25.degree. C.) of at least 0.3 dl/g, and consist of recurring structural elements of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are monovalent aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radicals, and Z is a bivalent aliphatic radical. The dicarboxylic acid structural radicals are derived in particular from adipic acid. The polyamides have high glass transition temperatures, and have a low water absorption and also good stability to hydrolysis. They can be processed into moulded articles (for example by the injection moulding process and extrusion process).
