Abstract

High molecular weight linear aromatic amorphous copolymers comprising copolymers of p- , m-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid and mixtures thereof and a polyamide are prepared in ratios of 1:20 to 20:1. The resulting polymers have an inherent viscosity of at least 0.4 dl/g in a 60/40 phenol/tetrachloroethane solvent at 30.degree. C., good molding properties and improved hydrophylic properties as compared with nylon-6.
