Abstract

The invention relates to a method of preparing polyamides, in which, in a first step, the anionic polymerization of at least one lactam is carried out and then, in a second step, a heat treatment is carried out on the polymer obtained, which has a distribution of the molar masses measured by SEC having a shape close to a Gaussian curve with a high-mass tail, at a high enough temperature and for a long enough time so as to obtain a unimodal distribution of the molar masses.
