Definitions
- the present patent application relates to a reinforced semi-crystalline aliphatic polyamide composition having improved dimensional stability and robust mechanical properties in the presence of humidity.
- Polyamide formulations of very high rigidity are sought for example in the field of electricity and electronics for the manufacture of telephone shells or computer chassis. Such formulations can moreover be advantageous for lightening electronic equipment by allowing a reduction in the thickness of the parts.
- a usual way to obtain polyamides with high rigidity is to formulate semi-crystalline aliphatic polyamides by adding reinforcements thereto such as glass fibers.
- the mechanical properties of such formulations depend on the one hand on those of the polymer and the glass fibers and on the other hand on the capacity of the polymer to transfer the stresses to the fiber-polymer interface.
- Humidity is one of the main external factors that can impact this interface, and therefore affect the mechanical properties, in particular the modulus.
- polyamides in particular semi-crystalline aliphatic polyamides, are particularly sensitive to water sorption.
- the absorbed water has a plasticizing effect on the polyamide, and has several consequences on its properties, and can in particular: cause swelling which affects the dimensional stability of the parts; and decrease the modulus of the material, especially at room temperature.
- Patent FR 3 043 681 B1 thus describes that the addition of semi-crystalline polyamide containing 8 or more carbon atoms per nitrogen atom in amorphous polyamide formulations makes it possible to improve their dimensional stability by reducing the absorption of water at 23°C at 50% RH relative to the expected value calculated from the weighted absorption of their components.
- the absorbed water can also modify the interactions between the polyamide and the fillers.
- Patent application US 2017/0029621 A1 teaches that the use of a polyamide with specific end-of-chain groups makes it possible to limit the increase in molecular weight during injection at high temperature.

Then, it is assayed by potentiometric titration using a Metrohm titrator (model 888) with a combined pH electrode, with a solution of 0.02N perchloric acid in acetic acid. The volume of titration solution added to the inflection point of the potential of the solution corresponds to the equivalent volume Veq from which the total basicity is calculated, thanks to the following formula: [Math 2]
