Abstract

The process for manufacturing polyamides, suitable for fibers, from an .alpha.,.omega.-dinitrile, and an .alpha.,.omega.-diamine in water in contact with a catalyst that is improved by (1) first, reacting the dinitrile and water in the presence of the catalyst at a temperature sufficient to cause substantial hydrolysis of the dinitrile and (2) subsequently adding the diamine to the reaction mixture of the dinitrile and water at a temperature sufficient to cause polymerization.
