Abstract

Novel, homogeneous and flexible block copolyetheramides, having a melting point of at least 150.degree. C., a glass transition temperature not exceeding -5.degree. C. and a melt viscosity of at least 100 poises, are preferably prepared by prepolymerizing a mixture of a salt of a short-chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and a short-chain aliphatic diamine with a fatty acid(s) dimer or amino derivative thereof, and then polycondensing the prepolymer in the presence of a strong organic or inorganic oxyacid, with a polyoxyalkylenediamine or a polyoxyalkylenedicarboxylic acid having a number-average molecular weight ranging from 300 to 1200.
