Summary
In this paper we report a novel method of preparing polyamide molecular composites (1) by synthesizing graft-copolymes with stiff aromatic polyamide main-chains and flexible high molecular weight (high-M) polyamides as the side chains. The unique feature of the present graft-copolyamides is that the side-chains are connected directly to the aromatic rings in the stiff polyamide chains through amide groups, and are not connected to the amide groups present in the stiff main-chains.
